This page explains what we can confirm, and what you need to check, before you book a trip to the Philippines. Our research for this destination does not include visa details for Indian passport holders, so we have not stated any rule, fee or processing time. Entry rules can change, and they can depend on your passport, the purpose of your trip and how long you stay. Confirm them with the official government source for the Philippines before you pay for flights or hotels.

What our packages include
Our Philippines packages include visa assistance. Visa fees, if any apply, are not included in the package price. Ask your planner what help is available for your application and which documents you will need to provide.
How to plan around visa timing
Apply early, with enough time before your flights. Keep copies of your documents, and check the rules again close to your travel date. Our packages are land-only, so flight bookings are separate from the visa process.
