Philippines to Vietnam visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders can enter Vietnam visa-free for up to 21 days for tourism or short business under the ASEAN visa-exemption arrangement. As an ASEAN member, the Philippines has a reciprocal visa exemption with Vietnam. Filipino citizens holding an ordinary passport may enter Vietnam without a visa and stay up to 21 days per visit for tourism, family visits, or short business; no visa application or visa fee is required. Vietnam's foreign ministry lists the exemption for Philippine ordinary passports with a passport valid at least 6 months and a return or onward air ticket. The exemption is per-entry; a fresh visa-free stay is assessed on each arrival after departure, and frequent back-to-back entries may draw scrutiny. For stays longer than 21 days, or to secure a longer fixed period, Filipinos can apply for Vietnam's official e-Visa before travel; the e-Visa can be valid up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, with official fees of USD 25 or USD 50. Separately, Vietnam's Pre-arrival Information (PAI) system has been piloted and expanded for air arrivals since 15 April 2026. It is a free online declaration completed within 3 days before entry and generates a QR code, but official Vietnamese guidance describes it as an entry-processing support tool, not a visa application.
