Overview
About the Philippines visa for Indians
Under rules introduced in 2025, Indian passport holders can typically visit the Philippines visa-free for tourism for up to 14 days. Indians holding a valid visa or residence permit from countries such as the USA, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, Singapore or a Schengen state may be allowed a longer visa-free stay, typically up to 30 days. You still need a valid passport, a return ticket, hotel bookings, sufficient funds and eTravel registration completed shortly before arrival.
For longer holidays, business visits or travellers who do not meet the visa-free conditions, a Philippines e-Visa or embassy visa is needed. Audvik Tours and Travels checks which option suits your plans, prepares your documents, completes the eTravel form with you and handles e-Visa applications from start to finish. We also book flights, hotels and island packages to Manila, Boracay, Cebu, Bohol and Palawan, along with travel insurance.

Philippines visa FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for the Philippines?
Under rules introduced in 2025, Indians can typically visit the Philippines visa-free for tourism for up to 14 days, or up to 30 days if they hold certain valid third-country visas. For longer stays or other purposes, an e-Visa or embassy visa is required, subject to the latest rules.
What is eTravel for the Philippines?
eTravel is the Philippines' free online arrival registration, which travellers complete shortly before their flight. It records your passport, flight, accommodation and health details and generates a QR code checked on arrival. Our team can help you complete it correctly as part of your travel preparation.
How long does the Philippines e-Visa take?
Processing typically takes 5–10 working days once a complete application is submitted, though it can vary. We recommend applying at least three weeks before your trip. Delays usually happen when documents are unclear or incomplete, which is why we check every file before submission.
Can I extend my stay in the Philippines?
The 14-day visa-free stay is generally not extendable. Visitors entering on a tourist visa may be able to request an extension from the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines, subject to its rules and discretion. If you plan a longer trip, apply for the correct visa in advance.
Can Audvik book my Philippines holiday?
Yes. Audvik Tours and Travels can arrange flights, domestic connections, hotels, island-hopping tours and complete packages for Boracay, Cebu, Bohol, Palawan and Manila. We also help with eTravel, travel insurance and e-Visas when needed, so every part of your trip is planned together.
