Are you dreaming of globe-trotting but fretting about the visa process? If you long for a worry-free vacation, consider exploring these visa-free countries that welcome Philippine passport holders. Additionally, this curated list also features countries that offer visa-on-arrival (VOA) and e-Visa facilities for Filipino citizens.

We’ve made it a breeze to achieve your #TravelGoals! We have sorted the countries by continent and indicated the maximum length of stay permitted. Visa-free access means you can travel with only your Philippine passport, but please ensure that it remains valid for at least six months after your planned departure. Bear in mind that some nations may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket, as well as evidence of financial capability when you reach their borders. So, be prepared to present all necessary documents at the immigration counter to avoid any complications.
