Visa applicants are strongly advised to finalize their flight booking only after the visa is granted. The Embassy will not hasten the visa processing to accommodate the applicant’s flight schedule.

Visa processing time is dependent on the applicant’s nationality and usually takes two (2) to ten (10) business days. Processing could be faster if the applicant’s country has an existing visa agreement with the Philippines. For some applicants, evaluation may take longer.

Please note that no refund of the visa application fee will be made if the visa application is denied or if the visa is approved after the applicant’s scheduled departure date. Further, the Visa Officer reserves the right to issue the appropriate validity of the visa based on the applicant’s supporting documents.

The maximum period of stay the Embassy may issue is 59 days. Those wishing to stay for a longer period may look at requirements from the Bureau of Immigration: http://immigration.gov.ph/visa-requirements/non-immigrant-visa/temporary-visitor-visa/extension-of-authorized-stay-beyond-59-days
