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.

Do Indians need a visa for the Philippines?

We cannot answer this from the research held for this guide. Do not rely on older advice or unofficial forums. Check the current entry requirements for your passport with the official government source for the Philippines. Your airline may also ask for documents before check-in, so confirm with them too.

What to check before you book

  • The current entry rules for your passport.
  • The documents the official source asks you to provide.
  • Any fees, which are set by the official source and are not in our research.
  • How far ahead you need to apply, and the processing time the official source gives.
  • The rules that apply to your length of stay and the purpose of your trip.

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.
