Philippines to Reintroduce e-Visas for Chinese Travellers
The Philippines Department of Tourism (DoT) has welcomed the reinstatement of electronic visas (e-Visas) for Chinese nationals, starting in November 2025.
The DoT noted that the suspension of the e-Visa system in 2023 affected tourism performance, particularly from China, one of its main pre-pandemic markets.
“The suspension of the e-Visa system in 2023 had a significant and measurable impact on our ability to meet tourism targets, particularly from one of our strongest pre-pandemic markets. This development is therefore both necessary and overdue.”
As of September 2025, the Philippines had received 203,923 Chinese visitors. The DoT continues to work with government and private partners to improve infrastructure and digital systems supporting tourism.
A major increase in arrivals is not anticipated before the end of the year, but the relaunch is expected to ease travel.
