Philippines visa India

Visa-free

No application for: 14-day visa-free tourism; 30-day visa-free tourism with an AJACSSUK visa or residence permit. Takeotrip does not sell a filing for a stay that needs no visa.

Apply for a visa that needs filing

You apply on Takeotrip. We file with the official channel. Government sites stay as citations below, not as the button.

14 days for tourism needs no visa. A longer stay or a non-tourist purpose needs a visa.

Rules change. Confirm this on the official site before you apply. Takeotrip.com is not a government agency and is not affiliated with Philippines's embassy or visa centre.

Official pages disagree. The DFA news release of 7 June 2025 limits the 14-day visa-free stay to tourism. The e-visa policy page also says business. Do not assume a business visit is visa-free.

The Department of Foreign Affairs announced on 7 June 2025 that, from 8 June 2025, Indian nationals may enter without a visa for 14 days for tourism. The stay is not extendible and not convertible. You need a passport valid at least six months beyond the stay, a confirmed hotel booking, proof of financial capacity, and a return or onward ticket. Takeotrip does not sell an application for that 14-day tourism stay.

The same announcement says Indian nationals who hold a valid current visa or residence permit from the United States, Japan, Australia, Canada, a Schengen state, Singapore, or the United Kingdom may enter without a visa for 30 days for tourism, with the passport and onward-ticket conditions. That stay is not extendible. No derogatory record with the Bureau of Immigration.

Transit, a long stay, or a non-tourism purpose needs a visa from a Philippine embassy or consulate, or an e-visa at evisa.gov.ph if you are eligible. The e-visa site says an issued e-visa is not extendible and not convertible.

Visa types we could source

  • 14-day visa-free tourism. Stay: 14 days. Not extendible and not convertible to another status. Fee: No visa fee. DFA announcement of 7 June 2025. The e-visa policy page, read on 7 November 2026, also mentions business in the 14-day sentence. The DFA news release says tourism. They disagree. Verify with official source before you travel for business without a visa. No Takeotrip application.
  • 30-day visa-free tourism with an AJACSSUK visa or residence permit. Stay: 30 days for tourism. Not extendible. Fee: No visa fee. Only with a valid current American, Japanese, Australian, Canadian, Schengen, Singapore, or UK visa or residence permit, plus a passport valid six months beyond the stay and a return or onward ticket. No Takeotrip application.
  • 9(a) temporary visitor visa or e-visa. Stay: The DFA news release does not set the stay for the visa itself. The e-visa policy page says an e-visa cannot be extended or converted. Verify the stay length with official source. Fee: The Philippine Embassy in New Delhi FAQ states 2,840 Indian rupees for a single-entry 9(a) visa, paid by demand draft to the embassy. A direct download of that page returned 403 on 7 November 2026, so treat the figure as needing a fresh check. The e-visa FAQ says the fee is paid by bank transfer within 48 hours and is not refunded. It does not print the amount. For transit, a long stay, or a purpose that is not the visa-free tourism stay. The embassy FAQ says processing is at least eight working days after every document, including any extra document an officer asks for, is received. File only when the visa-free stay does not cover the trip. Takeotrip can file this.

Documents named by the official source

  • 14-day tourism: passport valid at least six months beyond the stay, confirmed hotel accommodation, proof of financial capacity, and a return or onward ticket. The announcement does not define the proof of funds or a photo size.
  • 30-day tourism with another visa: the passport rule and a return or onward ticket, plus that other visa or residence permit.
  • Photo size and a bank-statement format for the e-visa: not on the pages we could read. Verify with official source.

Processing time

Visa-free entry is decided at the airport. For a 9(a) visa, the New Delhi embassy FAQ says at least eight working days after a complete file. The e-visa FAQ we read does not state a number of days.

Fees

Visa-free stays: no visa fee. Single-entry 9(a) at the embassy in New Delhi: 2,840 INR on the embassy FAQ. E-visa amount: not printed on the FAQ we read.

The 2,840 INR figure is already in rupees on the embassy FAQ. No conversion. Confirm it, because the page returned 403 to a direct download on 7 November 2026.

Philippines visa for Indians: FAQs

Is the Philippines visa-free for Indian tourists?

From 8 June 2025, Indian nationals may enter without a visa for 14 days of tourism. The stay cannot be extended. You need a passport valid six months beyond the stay, a hotel booking, proof of funds, and a return or onward ticket. Takeotrip does not file that stay. A 30-day tourism entry needs another listed visa or residence permit. Verify with the official source before a business trip.

How to apply for a Philippines visa from India?

Apply on Takeotrip when the visa-free stay does not cover the trip, such as transit, a long stay, or a non-tourist purpose. The e-visa site is evisa.gov.ph, and an issued e-visa is not extendible and not convertible. You can also apply at a Philippine embassy or consulate. We file only the option that needs a visa. The Philippine authorities decide. Do not send a passport number in the coming-soon enquiry used for other countries.

What is the Philippines visa fee for an Indian passport?

The 14-day and 30-day visa-free tourism stays have no visa fee in the announcement we stored. The New Delhi embassy page states 2,840 rupees for a single-entry 9(a) visa. A direct download returned 403 on 7 November 2026, so verify with official source before you rely on it. The e-visa page says the fee is paid by bank transfer within 48 hours and is not refunded, but it does not print the amount. We will not guess that figure.

How long does a Philippines visa from India take?

Visa-free entry is decided at the airport, not by a filing clock. For a 9(a) visa, the New Delhi embassy page says at least eight working days after a complete file is received. Verify with official source, because that page did not download cleanly on 7 November 2026. The e-visa page we read does not state a number of days. Takeotrip cannot promise a date and does not guarantee approval. The Philippine authorities decide.

What documents are required for a Philippines visa from India?

For 14-day tourism, the announcement asks for a passport valid six months beyond the stay, a hotel booking, proof of funds, and a return or onward ticket. It does not define the proof of funds or a photo size. The 30-day entry adds the other visa or residence permit. Photo size and a bank-statement format for the e-visa are not on the pages we could read. Verify with official source rather than guessing a measurement.
