157 Countries Eligible for Visa-Free Entry to Philippines
The Philippine government has published a comprehensive list of 157 countries whose nationals are eligible to enter the Philippines without a visa under the Balikbayan Program. This program was established through Republic Act 6768 and later amended by Republic Act 9174, aiming to attract and encourage overseas Filipinos to visit their homeland.
Citizens from the listed countries can enter the Philippines provided they are traveling alongside a former Filipino citizen. However, those from countries not included in the list must obtain a valid entry visa prior to traveling.
The list includes countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and many others, reflecting a broad international scope for the program.
