Philippines visa fees

General guidance for international travellers. Requirements vary by nationality — confirm with the official visa authority for your passport.

Short answer: Official Philippines visa fees vary by nationality, category, and whether you use a visa centre. This site does not invent fee amounts — confirm the current schedule on the official portal or embassy notice.

Fact: Government visa fees and optional visa-centre service charges are set by authorities and change without notice. Amounts may be quoted in Philippine peso (PHP) or another settlement currency.

Recommendation: Budget separately for photos, translations, insurance, courier, and Prince Visa service fees if you use assisted filing. Never pay unofficial “guaranteed approval” sellers.

What fee components usually exist

  • Government / consular visa fee
  • Visa application centre (VAC) service fee, if used
  • Optional courier or SMS tracking
  • Third-party document services (translations, photos)

How to confirm the official amount

  1. Open the official guidance linked on our embassy page.
  2. Select your nationality and visa category.
  3. Note whether biometrics or VAC fees are extra.
