About this tool
Check your Philippines visa-free allowance, the eTravel registration window, passport validity beyond the stay and the extension you will need.
The Philippines admits nationals of around a hundred and fifty countries without a visa for 30 days under Executive Order 408, but the passport rule is measured six months beyond the period of stay rather than beyond arrival, and the free eTravel registration can only be filed in the 72 hours before you land. This checklist turns those rules into dates: the day your admission expires, the earliest day eTravel opens, and the exact validity your passport needs for the trip you have booked.

The six-month rule is applied to the end of your stay, which is how the Philippines applies it.
You get the day the admission expires, not just the number of days it lasts.
30 days, 59 days, 14 days, 7 days and the Balikbayan year are separate options, not footnotes.
Most nationalities are admitted for 30 days under Executive Order 408, provided the passport is valid six months beyond the period of stay and a confirmed onward or return ticket is held. Brazilian and Israeli nationals get 59 days; Hong Kong and Macau SAR passport holders and several other nationalities get 14 days, and some get 7.
Yes. Extensions are granted at a Bureau of Immigration office inside the country, and the first one normally adds 29 days. Apply before the current admission expires rather than after, and remember that main offices and larger city sub-offices handle extensions while small island towns generally do not.
eTravel is a free online registration required from every arriving and departing traveller, including children. It is submitted within the 72 hours before arrival, which means you cannot file it weeks ahead — airlines check it at the gate, so set a reminder for three days out.
At least six months beyond the period of your stay, not beyond your arrival date. A five-week trip therefore needs more remaining validity than a five-day one. You also need a confirmed onward or return ticket, which is the condition airlines most often refuse boarding over.
