About the Philippines visa
Philippines: tourist e-visa, student and 9(g) work routes. Government fee and the guaranteed decision window are confirmed before you pay.

Fees. The Philippines government fee is $0 and the vistolane filing fee is $25, an all-in price of $25 per traveller with no surcharge at the consulate. The published processing time is 5 to 7 days. vistolane commits to a decision date before you pay and shows the 7-day window on the price card above.
Validity and stay. A Philippines e-visa is valid for 30 days and allows a stay of up to 30 days on a single-entry basis. Routes covered on this page: Tourist, Student 9(f), Work 9(g).
