Do I need a passport for a Philippine business visa?

Passports are documents that are only used when applying for visas. Passports are rarely used at ordinary times. Do Philippine business visas need passports?

Passport is one of the indispensable documents when applying for a visa, and the embassy of each country will require the applicant to include a passport in the materials provided. Passports will be used even if they do not hold a visa for entry and exit. Therefore, all visas in the Philippines need to provide passports, including business visas.

The applicant's own passport must meet the following requirements:

1. The effective time is at least 7 months;

2. The passport has at least 2 blank visa pages that can be used;

3. The information on the passport must be clearly visible without any damage or creases.

In addition, because it is a business invitation, the applicant also needs to provide the first page of the passport of the legal representative of the inviting company. The requirements are as follows:

1. If the legal person is a local, only a copy of the first page of the passport is required;

2. If the legal person is not a local, a copy of the visa is required in addition to the first page of the passport.

The above is the passport that the applicant needs to provide. In addition to his/her passport, he/she also needs to provide the first page of the inviting party's passport. When preparing the passport, the applicant should provide it according to the above requirements. If there is any discrepancy in the passport provided by the applicant, the visa result will be affected and more attention should be paid.

If the applicant's passport is valid for less than 7 months, it is impossible to apply successfully. You need to reapply for a new passport before submitting the application.

In short, the Philippine business visa needs to provide a passport, and in addition to the applicant's own passport, it also needs to provide the passport of the inviting party, and all must meet the requirements of the embassy. Applicants should be more careful when preparing materials.
