Other FAQs that may help you:

1. Should I purchase my flight ticket?

A ticket reservation is enough. You can purchase it after approval: A flight reservation can either be: 1. Confirmed Reservation – booking has been created, but it is on hold as stated by the flight itinerary; or 2. Ticketed Reservation – you have already paid for your ticket and have flight details and booking number

You can get it from us for only $30, read about rent a flight here.

2. How many days is processing?

It depends on the citizenship of the applicant visa processing will take 2 or 10 business days. Some cases take longer due to approval from Manila.

3. My flight is tomorrow, can expedite my visa?

The consulate will not speed up the processing of visas to accommodate the flight, apply as early as possible

4. Can the Visa fee I paid to be refunded?

Even if your visa is issued late or is denied; you can’t be refunded.

I hope this would help you with your visa application to the Philippines. It’s a bit of a hassle, but don’t worry the requirements are simple and there are many embassies and consulates to apply. While waiting, I might as well read some read about the Philippines in my blog to add in your bucket list. Happy Travels!

Visa information.

A Philippine Visa is an endorsement made on a travel document by a consular officer at a Philippine Embassy or Consulate abroad denoting that the visa application has been properly examined and that the bearer is permitted to proceed to the Philippines and request permission from the Philippine Immigration authorities at the ports of entries to enter the country.

The visa thus issued is not a guarantee that the holder will be automatically admitted into the country, because the admission of foreign nationals into the Philippines is a function of the immigration authorities at the port of entry.
