Notice on Visa Free Entry for Chinese People in the Philippines in 2026

1、 Core Policy of Visa Waiver for China by the Philippines in 2026

In 2026, the Philippines will officially implement a visa free policy for Chinese citizens. The visa free arrangement is temporarily valid for one year, and policy updates may be adjusted. EasyGo International recommends that everyone confirm the policy updates before traveling to avoid any impact on their itinerary due to policy changes. The following are key considerations for visa free entry, strictly sorted according to the official requirements of the Philippines, with precision and no redundancy:

（1） Scope of visa free application

This visa free policy only applies to Chinese citizens for tourism or business purposes, and there are clear restrictions at the port of entry that require entry through Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) or Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA). Special Reminder: If you plan to transit from the Philippines to a third country, or engage in non tourism, non business activities such as work, study, or long-term residence in the Philippines, you still need to apply for the corresponding type of visa from the relevant Philippine departments in advance. Do not enter the country solely based on the visa free policy, otherwise you will face consequences such as interception and repatriation. EasyGo International can assist in processing various non visa free Philippine visas.

（2） Visa free stay period

Chinese citizens who enter the Philippines under the visa free policy can stay for up to 14 days, which cannot be extended and cannot be converted into other types of visas such as work visas or student visas. EasyGo International kindly reminds you that you must complete the departure procedures before the expiration of your 14 day stay. Failure to do so will result in fines imposed by the Philippine Immigration Department and may affect your eligibility to enter the Philippines in the future, leaving a negative record of your stay.

（3） Requirements for visa free entry materials

Visa free does not mean no material requirements. When entering the country, the following materials must be prepared in advance for inspection by the Philippine Immigration and Customs. Missing or non compliant materials may result in refusal of entry. EasyGo International can assist in verifying the completeness of the materials:

-Passport: Hold a regular passport with a validity period of no less than 6 months, and leave a blank visa page inside the passport (no damage, no missing pages, and clear and recognizable photos);

-Proof of itinerary: Prepare round-trip airfare in advance (with confirmation that the return date falls within the visa free stay period), hotel reservations within the Philippines, and detailed proof of itinerary in the Philippines;

-Etravel application: Must log in to the official Etravel system in the Philippines in advance（ https://etravel.gov.ph/ ）Truthfully fill in personal basic information, entry itinerary, and other related content. After completing the filling, save the filling voucher and present it voluntarily when entering the country. Failure to fill in or filling in incorrect information will affect entry.

（4） Entry verification requirements

The Philippine Immigration Department will conduct strict checks on Chinese citizens who enter the country without a visa, focusing on verifying the purpose of entry, the authenticity of documents, personal stay records, and other relevant information. EasyGo International reminds you that if you have previously had a negative record of being denied entry or overstaying in the Philippines, it is recommended to apply for eligibility re examination with the Philippine Immigration Department in advance. Once confirmed, you can arrange your itinerary. Otherwise, you may be denied entry on the spot, causing unnecessary losses.

（5） Other important precautions

-Language preparation: It is recommended to master basic travel English and truthfully answer inquiries from Philippine immigration officials upon entry, clearly stating the purpose of entry (tourism/business). Smooth language communication can improve entry efficiency;

-Tip related: The Philippines strictly prohibits port officials (customs and immigration staff) from asking for tips from inbound personnel. In such cases, EasyGo International recommends that everyone clearly refuse and collect relevant evidence (recordings, photos, etc.) while ensuring their own safety, report to the Philippine customs or immigration department, and contact the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines and our customer service for assistance.
