First, let’s discuss what it means to be a visa-free country before getting into the list of visa-free nations for Filipino citizens.

What is visa free country means?

Usually, when traveling to a foreign country, you will need either a visa or an e-visa. Visa is granted by embassies of other countries, while e-visas are issued electronically through electronic travel authorities (ETA).

However, in some situations, a country will allow visitors from other countries to enter without a visa. To put it another way, these nations open their borders to foreign persons for a fixed period. Visa-free countries are those that allow foreign citizens to travel without the need for a visa or an e-visa.

Now that you know what it means to be a visa free country, here is the list of nations where Philippines passport holders can travel without a visa or an e-visa in 2024.

We have compiled this list based on a report published by Henley & Partners.

How does the Philippines get a visa on arrival?

When visiting a country that issues an on arrival visa to the Philippines, it simply means that you can obtain a visa at the port of entry.

For example, let’s say that you are planning to visit Thailand. After arriving at the airport in Bangkok, an official from the Thai government will stamp your passport.

However, to obtain a visa on arrival, you must have the following documents with you.

• Ensure that you have a valid Philippine passport with at least six months validity from the date of entry and one completely blank page.
• Passport-sized photos.
• Any document that proves the purpose of your visit to the country.
• Evidence of travel including return tickets, hotel booking/reservation, etc.
• Proof of vaccinations if required.

The requirements for each country vary from one to another. So it is best to visit the official website of the destination country’s embassy to find out what documents you need.

How to get an e-visa with a Filipino passport?

Obtaining e-visas is quite simple – you need to complete an application form, pay the fee, then submit it online.

You will then receive an approval letter via email, which you have to print out.

Finally, present the printed copy together with your valid passport at the port of entry upon travel.

This entitles you to enter the country for a determined period as indicated in e-visa.

Important things to know before traveling to visa free nations

To avoid possible issues when visiting a visa free country, here are some of the things you need to know before you go.

• Double-check if your passport is still valid and has at least six months of validity left.
• Make photocopies of your documents or scan them before you travel.
• Do not overstay your visit because it will create many problems for you when leaving the country. Pay attention to the duration of your stay and make sure that you won’t violate immigration laws and regulations.
• Keep in mind that rules and requirements could change anytime without notice, so always double-check with the embassy or consulate of the country you are visiting.
