Please be advised that the e-Visa is not a guarantee that the holder will be automatically admitted to the country. The admission of foreign nationals into the Philippines is a function of the immigration authorities at the port of entry.

Furthermore, please be advised that issued Philippine e-Visas are not valid for conversion to other types of Philippine visas, and are not valid for extension of the authorized period of stay.

Applying for a Philippine visa will require that the applicant's passport be valid for six (6) months beyond the applicant's date of departure from the Philippines.

The Philippine Embassies/Consulates will only accept electronic passports and machine readable passports for visa applications. Non-machine readable passports or hand-scripted passports will not be accepted for visa applications. The Visa Officer has the right to ask for any additional documents that may be deemed necessary.
