Canada passport Philippines

Do Canadians need a visa for the Philippines?

No visa needed.

Visa free 30d

You can board a flight to Philippines on a passport from Canada with no visa. You may stay up to 30 days per visit. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.

Status

Government fee
Nothing to pay
Typical decision
No application

There is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay.

Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a Philippines visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.

If you are travelling on a different passport, Philippines's official entry rules are at evisa.gov.ph.

What Philippines asks for

  • Passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
  • Completed visa application form
  • Proof that you are a genuine tourist or business visitor
  • Confirmed return or onward ticket

Worth knowing

  • e-Visa fees are not refunded if the application is refused.
  • Pay within 48 hours of applying, or you must start a new application.
  • A Philippine e-Visa cannot be converted to another visa type, and the stay it grants cannot be extended.

How long it takes

The visa officer may ask you to attend an interview at the embassy or consulate.
