Entry for Thai passport holders

Thai passport holders can visit the Philippines for short tourism without a visa under the ASEAN arrangement, but work, study or long-term residence requires an appropriate visa.

Work and study visas

Work visas need a Philippine employer as sponsor, and student visas need an acceptance letter. Thai documents usually must be translated into English and certified.

Document legalisation

Thai official documents used in the Philippines must be certified by the Department of Consular Affairs and the Philippine Embassy in Bangkok before use.
