At the moment, citizens of the Russian Federation, for visiting the Philippine visa is not required. Staying in the country is allowed for a period of thirty days, and the day of arrival does not go to the standings. So exactly a month can be enjoyed by natural, historical and other beauty of this exotic country. At the same time there is one curious moment. If you decide that this period is not enough for you, you can not only arrange a longer type of visa at the Philippine Embassy, but also take the next step. By arrival in the country, instead of an ordinary stamp to a passport, which allows you to be in the country of thirty days, for seventy-five dollars a different type of stamp is put, allowing the finding in the Philippines to a period of up to fifty nine days.
It eliminates hiking to the embassy and collect the necessary documents. In the event that a longer stay is needed, from three months and above, then you can get the necessary type of visa at the Embassy of the Philippines or consular departments. Such representative offices are in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Vladivostok. To obtain a visa, you will need the following documents:
An abroad passport, with a period of at least six months.
Photocopy of passport (turn with depicted personal information).
Two color photography (3x4).
The invitation letter from the Philippine side (with an accurate description of the purpose of the visit and the time of staying in the country). For a tourist visa, it will be necessary to confirm the booking room at the hotel or other type of real estate.
Application (in Latineta), where you will need to give answers to a number of questions.
Flights to the country and back (indicating the exact date).
Bank documents (receipts) confirming the payment of the consular fee.
Invitation letter from the Philippine company or a foreign organization in the territory of the Philippines (in case of obtaining a working visa).
The consular fee for visas for a period of up to three months is forty dollars, six-month - eighty dollars, one hundred and twenty dollars.
Citizens of Belarus, Ukraine and other CIS countries, to visit the Philippines will need to open a visa. Please note that not in all republics there is an embassy of this country and the documents are issued in the nearby states in which they are. For this, it is not necessary to personally attend, and all the necessary documents can be sent by mail. More details (for each country) should be specified on the websites of consulates, where the full list of the necessary documents and the conditions for obtaining a visa are presented. The consular fee is practically no different from the fact that I called previously (40, 80 and 120 dollars) and depends on the type and duration of the visa.
Please note that for a trip to the Philippines with children, you will need a power of attorney from the parents, certified by the notary (if only one of the parents is rifled). In the absence of parents and accompanied by children by third parties, even in the presence of power of attorney from parents, in obtaining a visa very often refuse. Therefore, in such a situation, so as not to throw money into the wind before sending documents to the embassy, consult about this with the employees of the consular department on the phone.
