Why This Move Makes Travel Easier for Indian Tourists

The Philippines’ decision to grant visa-free access to Indian nationals marks a significant boost for tourism and bilateral ties. With simplified entry rules, Indian travellers can now explore the Philippines with minimal paperwork and faster travel planning. The 14-day visa-free stay applies to all Indian passport holders, while those with valid visas or residence permits from countries like the U.S., U.K., or Schengen nations are eligible for up to 30 days of visa-free travel.
 

This initiative reflects the Philippines’ commitment to attracting more Indian visitors, especially as Indian tourist arrivals grew by 12% in 2024 alone. By reducing entry barriers, the country positions itself as an attractive and accessible destination in Southeast Asia for Indian holidaymakers.
