From January 16, 2026, Chinese ordinary passport holders can enjoy a 14-day visa-free stay in the Philippines, with entry limited to NAIA (Manila) and MCIA (Cebu). The one-year trial policy is subject to security-based adjustments.

A visa is mandatory for stays over 14 days, entry via non-designated ports, or purposes like study tours, long-term business, employment and study. Check the latest policy on the Philippine DFA website or Chinese Embassy in the Philippines before travel.
