Philippines Visas

Most nationalities receive a free 21 day tourist visa as standard on arrival in the Philippines. It is possible to get a 2 month visa at a Philippine embassy abroad before coming which may be cheaper for you and would mean you don't have to think about it when you are here.

If you need to renew, we take all the trouble out of visa renewal for you. You do not need to waste time, expense and hassle of a trip to the city or a border run. Just give us your passport and we will do the rest.

Get more information from the Philippine government web site and World Travel Guide.

Visa renewal is included in the cost of your package. For the 2 month package we will renew your visa for you to extend it to 59 days from arrival date. For longer packages, visa renewal for the duration of your package is included.

In some other countries you actually have to get a flight out of the country to renew your visa. At TSD it is as easy as handing us your passport.

Entry Requirements

Your passport should be valid for 6 months past your proposed departure date. Please make sure you have an ongoing flight when you enter the country. If you are not buying a return ticket, we advise trying Cebu Pacific to get a cheap 'throwaway' ticket to a nearby country.
