Philippines to Liberia visa requirements

Q: How much does the Liberia e-VOA cost?

The official fee is USD 102.50 and is non-refundable, paid online by Visa or Mastercard. Budget extra for yellow fever vaccination if needed.

Q: How long can I stay in Liberia?

The immigration officer at the airport grants either 30 or 90 days. The e-VOA approval itself is valid for 3 months, within which you must enter the country.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever certificate?

Liberia is a yellow fever risk area and proof of vaccination is commonly required on arrival, so carry your certificate.

Q: Where do I apply for the visa?

On the official Liberia Immigration Service portal at visaonarrival.lis.gov.lr. Avoid third-party sites that charge higher fees.

Q: Is Liberia part of Schengen or ETIAS?

No. Liberia is a West African nation, so Schengen 90/180-day rules and ETIAS do not apply to this trip.

Philippine passport holders need a visa for Liberia. The standard channel is the electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA): apply and pay online at the official Liberia Immigration Service portal before flying, then collect the visa sticker on arrival. The fee is USD 102.50 and the approval is valid for 3 months. Liberia is not visa-free for Philippine (ordinary) passport holders, and it is not in the Schengen area (it is a West African country, so ETIAS and the Schengen 90/180 rule do not apply). Because there is no Liberian embassy or consulate in the Philippines, Filipino travelers use Liberia's electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) system, launched in recent years and run by the Liberia Immigration Service at visaonarrival.lis.gov.lr. Applicants create an account, upload a passport bio-page scan and a portrait photo, complete the form, and pay the non-refundable USD 102.50 fee by Visa or Mastercard. After online approval (recommended at least 7 days before travel), the traveler receives a confirmation with a QR code; the approval is valid for 3 months from issuance, and the actual permitted stay (30 or 90 days) is set by the immigration officer at the airport. A passport valid at least six months beyond the stay and proof of onward travel are required. Travelers who happen to be residing in a country that hosts a Liberian embassy must instead apply at that mission rather than the online portal.

No Liberian embassy in the Philippines

Without a local mission, Filipino travelers default to the online e-VOA channel rather than embassy application.
