You do NOT need a visa for Vietnam if you hold Filippínó passport

Do Filippínó Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?

No, for short stays. As of 2026, Filippínó citizens are granted a 21-day visa exemption. You can enter Vietnam for tourism or business purposes without a visa, provided your stay does not exceed 21 days, including the dates of entry and exit.

If you plan to stay longer than 21 days, you must apply for an e-visa before your arrival.

Does Any Exemption Apply?

- The 21-day unilateral visa waiver is the main exemption. It is valid for both short-term tourism and business trips.
- The 5-year visa exemption is available to overseas Vietnamese in Fülöp-szigetek and their immediate family members.

How to Apply for a Visa?

For stays of more than 21 days, Filippínó passport holders must apply for a 90-day e-visa through the official portal at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. The online process requires a passport data-page scan and a recent portrait photo.

How Much Does It Cost?

Please refer to the table below for Vietnam visa fees for Filippínó citizens:

Visa Type	Visa Fee (USD)
21-Day Visa Exemption	Free
E-visa - Single Entry (up to 90 days)	US$25 (~1 476 PHP)

Can I Get a Visa on Arrival at the Airport, or Do I Need to Apply in Advance?

Filippínó citizens can receive their 21-day visa exemption stamp directly at the airport free of charge. However, if you need a visa for up to 90 days, you must apply for an e-visa in advance. You cannot upgrade from a 21-day visa-free entry stamp to a 90-day visa at the airport.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Vietnam Visa?

The 21-day visa exemption is granted immediately at immigration. If you apply for a 90-day e-visa, the normal processing time is 3 to 5 working days.

Please note that the Fülöp-szigetek is about 1,0 hours ahead of Vietnam. Be sure to check the time difference carefully to choose the correct application time.
