Israel to Philippines visa requirements

Israeli passport holders can enter the Philippines visa-free for tourism. Thanks to a bilateral agreement, Israel (along with Brazil) receives an extended 59-day visa-free stay, instead of the standard 30 days granted to most other nationalities under Executive Order 408. Holders of an ordinary Israeli passport do not need a visa for short tourist visits to the Philippines. Most visa-waiver nationalities receive 30 days under Executive Order 408, but Israel and Brazil benefit from a special bilateral arrangement granting 59 days of visa-free stay. No application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required; the stay is granted automatically by immigration officers upon arrival. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay and present a confirmed onward or return ticket, plus proof of accommodation and sufficient funds if asked. The 59-day permit can be extended at a Bureau of Immigration office (or online via the eServices portal) up to a total cumulative stay of around six months before requiring conversion to another visa type. Visa-free entry is strictly for tourism, family visits, and short non-remunerated business meetings; paid work and employment are not permitted. This verdict is confirmed by multiple official Philippine government sources, including the Bureau of Immigration, the Department of Foreign Affairs, and Philippine diplomatic missions.
