About the Philippines visa

The Philippines has more than 7,000 islands, including Palawan's lagoons, Boracay's beaches, Cebu and the rice terraces of Banaue. Indian citizens can now visit visa-free for up to 14 days for tourism.

Indians holding a valid visa or residence permit from the US, Japan, Australia, Canada, the Schengen area, Singapore or the UK can usually stay visa-free for up to 30 days. For longer stays, an e-Visa is available online. All travellers must complete the free eTravel registration before arrival.

Before you travel

• Domestic flights connect most islands. Allow buffer days in case weather delays ferries.
• The Philippine peso is the local currency. Carry cash for islands and smaller towns.
• Keep a printed copy of your approval and a digital copy on your phone. Airlines often check it at check-in for flights to Philippines.
• Travel insurance with medical cover is strongly recommended for every trip to Philippines.
