How long does it usually take to get a Philippine visa?

After the Philippine visa is submitted to the consulate, the results can be obtained within 4-5 working days.

Visas in the Philippines can be divided into three categories: visas applied according to the investment law, corresponding visas stipulated by the special law and investor visas. These three types of visas are divided into several subcategories:

The types of visas that can be applied according to the investment law include short-term visit or sightseeing visas and work authorization visas (pre-entry employment visas, treaty businessman visas and other work authorization visas); The corresponding visas stipulated in the special law include multiple round-trip special visa, subic special work visa and Clark special work visa; Investor visas include special investment resident visas, special investment resident visas for tourism projects and tourism investors, special Subic investment visas, special Clark investment visas and special resident retirement visas.

Temporary visitors holding China diplomatic passports and official passports can stay in the Philippines for 30 days without a visa. Holders of ordinary passports from China and valid visas from Schengen, Australia, the United States, Canada or Japan can enter the Philippines visa-free for 7 days.

Precautions for entering the Philippines:

1. Passengers coming to the Philippines should dress appropriately and have appropriate luggage. The purpose of coming to the Philippines should be consistent with the contents of the visa, otherwise it may be refused entry.

2. Passengers who have been to the Philippines and have been refused entry should apply to the Philippine Immigration Bureau for qualification review or check with the Philippine embassies and consulates in China according to the Philippine Immigration Law before reapplying for a visa to the Philippines. Otherwise, even if they get a visa, they will still be unable to enter the country.

3. Passengers with high name repetition rate (including the same pinyin) may have an impact on their entry because people with the same name, surname or pinyin are blacklisted in the Philippines. Relevant passengers can check with the Philippines and embassies and consulates in China before coming to the Philippines.

4. Passengers who stay in the Philippines for less than 24 hours with tourist visas will be regarded as impure motives for coming to the Philippines and will not be allowed to enter the country (the Philippine side calls such ID cards RUNVISA).
