Indonesia to Philippines visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders can visit the Philippines visa-free for an initial stay of up to 30 days. Submit the free eTravel registration within 72 hours before arrival. Indonesian ordinary passport holders are listed by the Philippine eVisa/DFA Office of Consular Affairs visa-free policy under Executive Order 408. They may enter the Philippines without a visa for an initial stay of up to 30 days, provided they hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the contemplated stay and a return ticket to Indonesia or an onward ticket to another destination. No Philippine eVisa, visa-on-arrival, or embassy visa is needed for a qualifying short tourist, social, or temporary business visit. Before boarding, travelers should complete the official eTravel registration, which is free and may be submitted within 72 hours before arrival; keep the QR code available for airline and border checks. If staying beyond the initial 30 days, Bureau of Immigration guidance says a non-visa-required visitor may first apply for a 29-day visa waiver, completing a 59-day stay, and may then request further extensions before the current stay expires.
