On April 25, 2025, Philippine President Marcos signed an executive order to officially introduce the digital nomad visa. Recently, many customers have inquired about related application matters. Therefore, we have compiled the latest guide to assist everyone in processing smoothly.

Core question: How many days can a digital nomad visa holder stay in the Philippines?

The Philippine Digital Nomad Visa is valid for one year, allowing visa holders to work remotely while enjoying the local scenery in the Philippines without the need for additional stay procedures.

Renewal reminder: Before your visa is about to expire, you can prepare the relevant required materials and proceed to the Philippine Immigration Bureau to apply for a renewal. Once the renewal process is completed, you will be granted an additional stay of 1 year in the Philippines. The entire process can be entrusted to EasyGo International for hassle-free and efficient handling.
