Manila (Philippines) June 07: Starting June 8, the Philippines will allow Indian travellers to enter without a visa. This friendly move is meant to increase the number of Indian tourists. In 2024, nearly 80,000 Indians visited the Philippines, and now the number is expected to rise even more. The visa-free travel is valid for 14 days, making it easier for Indians to explore beaches, markets, and food without much planning.
What’s the Rule? Simple Travel, No Long Lines
Indian travellers can now enjoy a short and sweet trip to the Philippines without needing to apply for a visa. If you hold a valid visa or resident permit from countries like the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the UK, or Schengen areas, you can stay up to 30 days. For others, it’s 14 days visa-free. This change will help many who love sudden holiday plans or want quick breaks from daily life.
Why Philippines Wants Indian Tourists So Badly?
Tourism plays a big role in the Philippines economy. In the last few years, the country has welcomed millions of visitors, but Indians were a small group. By making travel easier, the Philippines hopes to see more Indian faces on its sunny islands. The culture, food, and shopping in cities like Cebu and Manila attract young Indian travellers, honeymooners, and adventure lovers alike.
Indian Travel Trend: Love for Beaches, Culture and Food
Indians are now exploring places beyond Dubai, Bangkok, and Bali. The Philippines has white sand beaches, friendly people, and tasty food, which feels both new and familiar. With this visa-free entry, more families and friend groups may try out this new place. From boat rides to historic churches and colourful festivals, the country offers much to explore for first-time visitors from India.
Flight Ready? Time to Pack Bags and Click Memories
With easy rules and no paperwork, the Philippines could soon become the new favourite for Indian tourists. Travel agents have started seeing more interest in Philippine packages. Flights from Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai to Manila are also expected to get busier. If you ever dreamed of visiting a peaceful island without the visa hassle, this may be your sign. So, is your passport ready?
