Philippine e-sign is expected to go online by the end of this year? Do you believe it? Target to receive 2 million Chinese tourists!

According to Philippine media, on June 3, the Philippine Ministry of Tourism said that once the electronic visa is issued by the end of this year, it is expected to receive 2 million Chinese tourists.

The Ministry of Tourism (DOT) said in a statement that they are "coordinating on an ongoing basis with (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) on the lifting of the cap on the issuance of visas to Chinese citizens, in order to achieve the goal of 2 million Chinese tourists by the end of the year."

Since the border reopened, Chinese tourists have been among the top 10 tourists in the country.

Tourism Minister Vlasco previously warned that "if difficulties in obtaining visas are not addressed immediately, the country could lose more than $2.51 billion in revenue."

Previously, the Philippine Department of Tourism had stated that it would start operating e-visas in July and August this year. However, in mid-May, the Philippine Department of Information and Communication Technology stated that the capacity of consular services in the Philippines was very limited and was seeking to "have proven ability to process And integrate it with our e-visa platform so that we can get a seamless experience.

It is difficult to say whether the Philippine e-visa will be launched as scheduled. According to the Philippines' desire for Chinese tourists to go to the Philippines to promote the development of local tourism, and the current situation of the Philippine quota, the e-visa will not be available. With the efficiency of the Philippine country, the e-visa may be launched suddenly or delayed.
