Generally, under the Philippines’ Visa Policy, foreign nationals who are citizens of ASEAN member states, residents of non-ASEAN member states whose nationals are allowed to enter the country visa-free, and balikbayans (returning Filipinos who worked or lived abroad) temporarily returning to the Philippines do not have to obtain a visa.
