Visa Waiver Program: Citizens of some countries can stay in the Philippines for up to 30 days without prior visa application. This includes some countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas, such as China, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, etc. However, these visa-free travelers may be required to provide a valid passport, a round-trip ticket, proof of sufficient funds and relevant documents such as the purpose of the trip.
Visa-on-arrival(VOA): Citizens of some countries can obtain a visa upon arrival in the Philippines. This type of visa is usually available at the port of entry or airport and is usually valid for 30 days and can be extended. However, please note that the visa-on-arrival is not applicable to citizens of all countries and you should confirm your eligibility before traveling.
