Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit Philippines?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders can enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 59 days for tourism — a special privilege longer than the standard 30 days, based on a bilateral agreement. A Brazilian ordinary passport holder does not need a visa for a short tourist visit to the Philippines. Unlike most nationalities — who receive a 30-day visa-free stay under Executive Order 408 — Brazil (together with Israel) is granted an enhanced 59-day visa-free stay based on an existing bilateral agreement, confirmed by the Philippine DFA eVisa portal and Philippine embassies. To qualify, the passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of departure from the Philippines, and the traveler must hold a confirmed onward or return ticket. There is no application or fee for the visa-free entry itself; immigration officers grant the stay on arrival. Travelers wishing to stay beyond 59 days can extend at a Bureau of Immigration office in 29-day or longer increments for a fee, or obtain a Temporary Visitors' (9A) Visa from a Philippine embassy before travel. Verified as current on 2026-05-30; no recent policy change affecting Brazilian nationals.
