Brazil and Israel Citizens Granted 59-Day Visa-Free Access

The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that citizens of only two countries, Brazil and Israel, are eligible for a 59-day visa-free stay in the Philippines. This policy is outlined on the official Philippine eVisa portal and distinguishes these nations from most others, which either require a visa or have shorter visa-free durations.

The agreements allow citizens of Brazil and Israel to enter the Philippines without prior visa processing, enabling them to stay for nearly two months for travel, business, or family visits. However, travelers from both countries must still present a valid passport, proof of onward travel, and meet other standard entry requirements upon arrival, as specified in the eVisa policy guidelines.
