Welcome to the official guide for Filipino travelers and professionals planning a visit to Vietnam. As fellow ASEAN members, Philippine citizens enjoy specific privileges; however, depending on your duration of stay and purpose of visit, the consular requirements for 2026 have specific technical nuances.
At vietnamembassy-japan.org, we provide professional facilitation and deep data auditing to ensure your journey from Manila, Cebu, or Davao is 100% compliant and stress-free.
1. Visa Exemption Policy for Filipinos
Under the bilateral agreement, Philippine citizens are exempt from requiring a visa to enter Vietnam under the following conditions:
-
Maximum Stay: Up to 21 days (including arrival and departure dates).
-
Passport Validity: Must be valid for at least 6 months with at least 2 blank pages.
-
Supporting Documents: A confirmed return ticket or onward ticket to a third country.
Important Note: If your itinerary exceeds 21 days, you cannot enter under the exemption. You must secure a valid E-visa before boarding your flight in the Philippines.
2. Visa Types for Philippine Citizens
A. Vietnam E-visa (90-Day Electronic Visa)
This is the most popular choice for Filipinos planning extended holidays or business trips:
-
Validity: Up to 90 days.
-
Entry Type: Single or Multiple Entry options.
-
Process: 100% digital—no need to mail your physical passport.
B. Business & Work Visas
For Filipino professionals (such as English teachers or corporate experts) working in Vietnam. This process requires a sponsoring company and a more rigorous document audit.
