Please go to Visa Application Requirements to get this information. Please note that the consular officer may ask for additional documents to support your application apart from those indicated in the Visa Application Requirements.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that your passport has enough pages for us to put the visa sticker on and is still valid for at least six (6) months beyond your contemplated stay in the Philippines. If your passport will be expiring in three months, for instance, yet your visit to the Philippines is only for one week, it is suggested that you still get your passport renewed or its validity extended through the Indian Passport Office nearest you. Subject to the approval of the visa officer, your application may still be accepted for processing. However, even if you will be granted a visa, the Philippine Immigration Officers at ports of entry may or may not allow your entry into the Philippines with your passport having less than 6 month validity. They may, however, exercise their discretion to admit holders of passports valid for at least sixty (60) days beyond the intended period of stay.
