🎉 Good news for wanderlust souls: The Philippines will bring back its e-visa service for visitors from the Chinese mainland in November!
This move is all about strengthening people-to-people ties and giving a boost to economic, trade, and tourism vibes between the two nations. Think of it as leveling up your travel game — whether you’re chasing IG-worthy sunsets or networking like a boss, you’re just a few clicks away! 🌅🤝
Here’s what you need to know:
- Stay Duration: Up to 14 days (non-extendable) 🕒
- Entry Points: Manila International Airport or Mactan–Cebu International Airport ✈️
- Purpose: Tourism or business visits 💼🏖️
The system was first tested in China back in August 2023 but hit pause at the end of that November "until further notice." Now, it’s back on the menu, making travel planning smoother than ever.
Before the pandemic, the Chinese mainland stood as the Philippines’ second-largest source of tourists, with over 1.7 million visits in 2019. With this e-visa revival, travel dreams might just become reality again! 🌏✨
