A Philippine visa, once issued, does not guarantee entry into the Philippines. A Philippine visa is an endorsement on a travel document by a consular officer at a Philippine Embassy or Consulate, confirming that the visa application has been reviewed and that the bearer is allowed to travel to the Philippines. However, issuance of a Philippine visa does not guarantee that the bearer will be automatically admitted into the country as admission of foreign nationals into the Philippines is subject to the discretion of the Philippine Immigration authorities at the port of entry
Inquiries regarding the status of a visa application will NOT be accommodated via the Consulate’s telephone hotline or email. The status and outcome of a visa application are confidential and will only be shared with the applicant or an authorized representative, on the date specified in the receipt.
Applicants for a temporary visitor’s visa should apply at the Philippine Embassy or Consulate that has jurisdiction over their place of residence. While some applicants may apply at any Philippine Embassy or Consulate, others must apply in their country of origin or legal residence.
Also note that the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai does not authorize any agency to process visa applications or collect related fees. All applications must be submitted in person at the Consulate General. Any transactions with unauthorized agencies will not be recognized.
Applicants must pay the corresponding visa fees at the Consulate’s cashier by cash only.
