Brazil to Philippines visa requirements

Q: How long can a Brazilian stay in the Philippines without a visa?

Up to 59 days from the date of arrival, based on an existing bilateral agreement between Brazil and the Philippines.

Q: What documents do I need on arrival?

A passport valid at least 6 months beyond departure, a confirmed onward/return ticket, and a completed eTravel registration. Proof of funds and accommodation are recommended.

Q: Can I extend my stay beyond 59 days?

Yes. You can apply for an extension at a Bureau of Immigration office before your authorized stay ends. Fees vary by extension type and must be paid to the Bureau of Immigration; the LSVVE program can allow up to 6 months in one transaction where available.

Q: Is the eTravel registration mandatory?

Yes. All arriving travelers must complete the free online eTravel declaration within 72 hours before arrival and show the QR code at the airport.

Q: Is there any fee for visa-free entry?

No. The 59-day visa-free admission and the eTravel registration are both free. Fees only apply if you choose to extend your stay.

Brazilian ordinary passport holders can enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 59 days for tourism or temporary business, 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 or temporary business 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 foreign service posts. To qualify, the passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the contemplated stay, 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 apply for an extension of authorized stay at a Bureau of Immigration office or, where appropriate, obtain a Temporary Visitor's (9A) Visa from a Philippine embassy before travel. Reverified as current on 2026-06-21; no recent policy change affecting Brazilian nationals was found.
