菲律宾(Philippines) 前往 萨尔瓦多(El Salvador) 签证要求

A Philippine ordinary passport holder generally needs a visa (an authorization/consular visa) to enter El Salvador for tourism. El Salvador classifies the Philippines in its restricted nationality group, so there is no automatic visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel. There is one practical exemption: if you already hold a valid US, Canadian, or Schengen/EU visa or residence permit, you may enter visa-free for up to 90 days, paying only the US$12 tourist card on arrival. El Salvador operates a tiered visa policy. Philippine ordinary passport holders fall into the restricted group that requires prior authorization (an entry permit/consular visa) before travel, rather than visa-free entry or a standard visa-on-arrival. The most reliable short-stay route for most Filipinos is to first obtain a valid US, Canadian, or Schengen/EU visa or residence permit, which El Salvador accepts for visa-free entry of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. In that case the traveler only pays the US$12 tourist card fee on arrival. Without one of those qualifying visas/residences, the traveler must secure El Salvador authorization in advance through a Salvadoran consulate, as the Philippines is not on El Salvador's no-visa list. El Salvador is in Central America (not the Schengen area), so ETIAS and the Schengen 90/180 rule do not apply to El Salvador itself. El Salvador is part of the CA-4 agreement (with Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua), so the permitted stay is shared across all four countries. Passport must be valid at least six months and have a blank page; proof of onward/return travel is commonly requested. Travelers should confirm current requirements with the Salvadoran consulate in Manila before booking, as policy in this region has changed in recent years.
