Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from the Philippines | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the day you leave the Philippines. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Philippines | Immigration officers at Manila, Cebu, and Clark ask for a confirmed onward ticket within your 30-day visa-free stay. Budget airlines like Cebu Pacific and AirAsia enforce this strictly at check-in — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask for your first night's hotel booking or a letter of invitation from your host. A simple booking confirmation email or Airbnb receipt works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Officers sometimes ask for proof of at least ₱10,000 (around $180 USD) in cash or a bank statement. A credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If you have less than 6 months left, you won't be allowed to board. Renew your passport well in advance.
