Visitor visa

Travelers need a visa to visit the Philippines for Business or Tourism. Travelers must provide a Chinese Social Insurance Record Certificate registered for at least six (6) months before submitting the visa application. Travelers currently enrolled in primary, secondary, or college education and retirees above 55 years old do not require a Chinese Social Insurance Record Certificate. A paper or embassy visa is the only visa available for travelers visiting Philippines. The visa is typically a stamp or sticker added to the passport. Travelers must obtain this visa from a local embassy, consulate or visa center before traveling.
