The Philippines has launched two new visa-free entry options for Indian tourists starting May 2025. Indian nationals can now visit the Philippines for either 14 or 30 days without a visa, depending on their passport and residency status. This initiative aims to boost tourism and strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. The 14-day visa-free entry is available for tourism purposes with specific requirements, while the 30-day visa-free option is granted to Indian citizens holding valid visas or permanent residency from countries like Australia, Japan, the USA, Canada, Schengen countries, Singapore, and the UK.
