How to use this list

Visa-free means you can board and get an entry stamp on arrival without applying in advance. Free on arrival means a free permit is issued at the border. Free online ETA means a free electronic authorisation you must get before you fly. In every case, carry your return ticket, hotel booking and proof of funds: the conditions column shows what each official source asks for.

Popular visa-free trips for Filipinos

The easiest first trips from Manila, Clark or Cebu are in the region: Hong Kong lets Filipinos stay 14 days visa-free, Singapore needs no visa either, and Thailand gives 30 days. Every ASEAN neighbour except Timor-Leste is visa-free in our list. Before any trip abroad, budget for the Philippine travel tax.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries are visa-free for Filipinos in 2026?

In our checked list, 26 destinations let Philippine ordinary passport holders visit without a visa, and 7 more give a free permit on arrival or a free online authorisation. Each row links to the official source and shows the date we checked it.

Is this list official?

No, it is our compilation, but every status comes from an official source: the destination government, its embassy, or a Philippine government page (DFA). Where we could not find an official source we say "check with the embassy" instead of guessing.

Does visa-free mean no documents?

No. Most visa-free countries still ask for a return ticket, proof of funds, accommodation details or an online arrival card. The conditions column lists what each official source states.

How often is this list updated?

Each row shows its own check date. The list as a whole was last checked on 24 October 2026. Rules change, so confirm on the official page before you book.
