Philippines visa fees & timelines
| Visa type | Government fees | Our fee | Processing | Validity | Entries | Max stay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tourist visa | Tourist visa fee – 9(a) Temporary Visitor's Visa, e-Visa single entry (3-month validity) ₹6,240CORRECTED. Official Philippine Embassy New Delhi 'Schedule of Fees effective 01 November 2025', read directly off newdelhipe.dfa.gov.ph/index.php/fees. Indian nationals applying via the online e-Visa channel (evisa.gov.ph) pay Rs. 6,240 for a 9(a) single-entry (3-month) tourist visa. E-Visa multiple-entry alternatives: Rs. 10,080 (6-month) and Rs. 13,920 (12-month). A lower WALK-IN counter fee applies if applying in person at the Embassy: Rs. 3,840 single-entry / Rs. 7,680 (6-month) / Rs. 11,520 (1-year) for Indian nationals. Paid to the Embassy's DBS Bank account (e-Visa online) or by UPI (walk-in). The optional Expedite fee is Rs. 960 and is excluded as non-mandatory. The previously reported figures (Rs. 3,520 / 7,040 / 10,560) do not match either channel on the official schedule and were incorrect. | ₹3,500 + 18% GST = ₹4,130 | e-Visa: 7-12 working days (single entry); 15-21 working days (multiple entry) | 6 months or 1 year, single or multiple entry, at consular discretion | — | Up to 59 days per entry, set by immigration on arrival |
| Business visa | 9(a) Temporary Visitor's Visa - business visitor (9a-1), single entry (3-month validity) ₹6,240Current fee charged by the Philippine Embassy in New Delhi under its Schedule of Fees effective 01 November 2025, payable by Demand Draft in INR (cash not accepted; non-refundable regardless of outcome). The Philippines has no separate short-stay 'business visa'; business travel uses the 9(a) Temporary Visitor's Visa, subcategory 9a-1 Business Visitors, applied via the e-Visa system. The 9(a) fee is set by entry type, so single-entry is INR 6,240 for both tourist and business subcategories. Multiple-entry options cost more: 6-month multiple entry INR 10,080; 12-month multiple entry INR 13,920. IMPORTANT: since 08 June 2025 Indian nationals may enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 14 days for tourism OR business (or 30 days if holding a valid US/Japan/Australia/Canada/Schengen/Singapore/UK visa or residence permit), so a short business trip may require no visa and no fee at all; this fee applies only when a visa is actually needed (e.g., stays beyond the visa-free window). | ₹3,500 + 18% GST = ₹4,130 | e-Visa: 7–12 working days (single entry); 15–21 working days (multiple entry) | Single entry: 3 months from issuance. Multiple entry: 6 months or 1 year | — | Up to 59 days per entry, set by immigration on arrival |
Government and VFS fees are paid directly to the authorities in the local currency shown and are subject to change at the discretion of the concerned consulate or embassy; our service fee is in INR and includes appointment booking. No consultant can guarantee a visa — the decision rests with the embassy or consulate.
