Starting 05 October 2026, Egyptian and Sudanese nationals, including permanent residents in Egypt, are advised to lodge their visa applications through the official Philippine Electronic Visa (e-Visa) system (evisa.gov.ph).

​

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

• The E-visa is NOT CONVERTIBLE, NOT EXTENDABLE

• Payment is NON-REFUNDABLE, if application is denied.

• Visa applicants who plan to convert (such as students) or extend their visa while in the Philippines CANNOT use the e-Visa system and must follow the manual application procedures provided in www.philippines-egypt.com/visas.

• A Philippine e-visa serves as a pre-entry clearance. Visa holders are still subject to standard immigration controls at ports of entry into the Philippines. Airport immigration officers have the authority to deny or restrict / limit the entry of a foreigner, as may be warranted by circumstances.

• You may reserve a plane ticket for submission but do not pay for it until you have received your visa because your visa may be issued after the date of your reserved plane tickets. 

• Approved visa applicants must register to Etravel.gov.ph within 72 hours from the intended flight to the Philippines.
