📄 e-Visa System for Indian Nationals

In addition to the visa-free entry, the Philippines has implemented an e-Visa system for Indian nationals. This system allows applicants to apply for a temporary visitor visa (9a) online through the official portal evisa.gov.ph. The e-Visa is valid for 30 or 59 days and is non-extendible and non-convertible. 

The e-Visa system was fully implemented in India on October 28, 2024, following a successful beta testing phase. Applicants can now complete the entire process online, eliminating the need for in-person visits to Philippine embassies or consulates. 

🌐 Impact on Tourism

These initiatives are part of the Philippines' efforts to attract more Indian tourists and enhance bilateral relations. With India being one of the fastest-growing outbound travel markets, the Philippines aims to position itself as a preferred destination for Indian travelers.
