Vietnam to Philippines visa requirements

No visa needed. Vietnamese ordinary passport holders are listed under E.O. 408 and may enter the Philippines visa-free for an initial 30 days for qualifying temporary visits. As of 29 June 2026, Vietnamese ordinary passport holders remain eligible for visa-free entry to the Philippines for an initial stay of 30 days under Executive Order No. 408. The route covers qualifying temporary visits such as tourism, visiting family or friends, short business meetings or conferences, and transit, but not employment, study, residence, or other long-term purposes. No visa application, visa fee, or pre-approval is required before travel. You must still complete the official eTravel registration within 72 hours before arrival, save the QR code, and present a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay plus a return or onward ticket. Immigration officers make the final admission decision and may ask for accommodation, funds, or purpose evidence. If you need to stay beyond 30 days, apply for the initial 29-day visa waiver extension through the Bureau of Immigration office network or BI eServices; the BI fee schedule lists PHP 3,030 for that initial extension, with possible extra online payment charges.
