United Kingdom to Philippines visa requirements

Full British citizen ordinary passport holders can visit the Philippines visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism or business; free eTravel registration with QR code is required within 72 hours before arrival. Full British citizen ordinary passport holders may enter the Philippines without a visa for tourism or business for an initial stay of up to 30 days. DFA/eVisaPH lists the United Kingdom in the 30-day visa-free group under Executive Order 408, and GOV.UK confirms the same rule for British citizen passports. Travellers should hold a passport valid at least 6 months beyond the intended stay, carry a return or onward ticket, and be ready to show accommodation and funds if asked. All arriving passengers must complete the free eTravel registration at etravel.gov.ph within 72 hours before arrival and save the QR code; the eTravel customs rollout also covers the electronic customs baggage declaration and, where thresholds are exceeded, the currency declaration. To stay beyond 30 days, apply to the Bureau of Immigration before expiry: the first visa waiver adds 29 days, and later temporary-visitor extensions can be requested monthly, every 2 months, or in some cases 6 months, up to the maximum stay allowed for non-visa-required nationals. Work, study, residence, journalism, paid activity, and other non-visitor purposes require the appropriate Philippine visa or immigration authorization before doing that activity.
