What is a Philippine visa?

A visa on arrival is a way to apply for a visa at the airport after flying directly to the Philippines with a valid passport and a round-trip ticket without having to apply for a visa at home. Since last year, the Philippine Embassy has opened a visa on arrival to Chinese tourists in order to facilitate some people to apply for a visa on arrival, allowing those who meet the conditions to directly apply for a visa on arrival.

The stay time of the landing visa is not long, but if the holder cannot return home on time, he can apply for the Philippines within a certain period of time.

The visa can be extended for up to 6 months.

Required conditions?

First, travel with a tour group accredited by the Philippine Tourism Board. (Individual travel cannot be handled and can only apply for a visa at home).

Secondly, individual applicants for tours recognized by the Philippine government. (Proof is required)

Then, participate in business activities related to the country. (Business people who have cooperation with enterprises cannot apply for a visa on arrival)

Finally, businessmen who are participating in events or competitions in the Philippines.

Notes?

1. Unlike other countries, the Philippine visa on arrival needs to be applied for before traveling and then processed at the airport.

2. The required materials are not much, but the applicant is required to pay a certain landing visa fee.

3. People who have applied for Philippine visa extension and have illegal behaviors cannot apply for landing visa regardless of the purpose of travel.

The above is an introduction to the Philippine visa on arrival. It is not difficult to see that although the Philippines has a visa on arrival, it is not aimed at all applicants. It is recommended that everyone travel after applying for a Philippine visa in China in advance.
