The Philippines launches electronic visas for Chinese citizens

The Philippines announced the launch of an electronic visa system for Chinese citizens, which will start operating in November 2025. This step is aimed at accelerating the recovery of tourism and simplifying entry for travelers from one of the largest target countries.

After the suspension of the program in 2023, the tourist flow from China sharply decreased. The resumption of the electronic system is intended to regain the interest of Chinese tourists and increase the attractiveness of the destination, especially against the competition in the region.

According to the statement of the Philippines Ministry of Tourism, the new system will allow obtaining a visa faster than the standard procedure through the consulate. This will also become an important part of the country's tourism services digitization strategy.

Any visa for the Philippines can be processed through the visa agency www.buch-dein-visum.de — this is a reliable way to apply quickly, conveniently, and without errors, receiving support at every stage of the process.
