Getting a Philippine Visa

[ilovecdo]

What Do You Need to Visit the Philippines?

For foreigners who wish to visit the Republic of the Philippines, the processes involved are not really as complicated as those of other countries’. Almost all the time, only a passport is required and one is ready to go as long as he or she doesn’t forget his or her plane ticket and cash for the expenses.

However, in certain conditions that make it necessary to extend a traveler’s stay after the 21 days given to foreign visitors expires, then application for a visa, particularly a temporary visitor’s visa, is the best course of action.

Visa, according to the definition provided by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), is an endorsement made on a travel document by a consular officer at a Philippine Embassy or Consulate abroad denoting that the visa application has been properly examined and that the bearer is permitted to proceed to the Philippines and request permission from the Philippine Immigration authorities at the ports of entries to enter the country. The visa, however, is not a guarantee that the holder will be automatically admitted into the country, because the admission of foreign nationals into the Philippines is a function of the immigration authorities at the port of entry.

There are corresponding standard procedures and requirements needed when applying for one.

Teh Department of Foreign affairs is very accommodating interms of getting visa to our country. This holds true here in Tagbilaran City they have an office (near PMI) who readily assits tourists in extending their visa. I highly appreciate this government service to promote tourism in Bohol.
