In most cases tourist visas aren’t required for entry to the
Philippines. You will, however need, a valid passport and tickets and documents
for a return or onward travel. You are allowed to stay for up to 21 days. If
you plan to exceed that you need to apply for a visa extension at the local
immigration office before the 21 days are up. The extension will allow you to
stay for an additional 38 days (59 days total). You can extend your stay beyond
59 days, but do it before the 59 days are up. Below is a partial list of Visa
extension fees and a link to the Philippines Immigration web site for
additional information.
