Immigration & Travel Advisory

Plan early so your travel documents are ready in time. Here you'll find the entry rules for the Philippines, your government's official travel advice, and official immigration and visa links for 185 countries and destinations.

Coming to the Philippines

Your checklist for a smooth arrival at Mactan-Cebu, Manila or any Philippine airport.

Passport

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date, with a free page for the entry stamp.

Visa

Citizens of many countries enter visa-free for up to 30 days. Check the official DFA list for your nationality; longer stays can be extended at the Bureau of Immigration.

eTravel registration

Register free on the official eTravel site within 72 hours before arrival (and before departure) and keep the QR code on your phone. Avoid look-alike sites that charge a fee.

Return or onward ticket

Immigration officers may ask to see a confirmed return or onward flight and your hotel or tour booking.

Cash & customs

Declare cash over ₱50,000 or foreign currency over US$10,000 (or its equivalent) on arrival.

Domestic trips

Bring your passport (or a copy and valid ID) on domestic flights and ferries, e.g. Cebu to Bohol, Palawan or Siargao.
