UPDATE: In view of the temporary travel ban for foreigners coming from Norway and Iceland until 31 January 2021, visa issuances are suspended until further notice. Information about the travel ban is available here. Thank you.
A Philippine visa is an endorsement made on a travel document by a consular officer at a Philippine Embassy or Consulate abroad denoting that the visa application has been properly examined and that the bearer is permitted to proceed to the Philippines and request permission from the Philippine immigration authorities at the ports of entry to enter the country. The visa issued is not a guarantee that the holder will be admitted into the country - the admission of foreign nationals into the Philippines is a function of the Bureau of Immigration authorities at the port of entry.
