The Philippines will be implementing electronic visas for foreign visitors starting in the third quarter of this year to make visa application and processing faster and more efficient, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Wednesday.
Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Jesus Domingo said the country’s e-Visa system will allow foreign nationals to apply for appropriate Philippine visas remotely through personal computers, laptops, and mobile devices.
The meeting was jointly chaired by Domingo, who heads the DFA Office of Civilian Security and Consular Affairs, and Bensurto. Domingo and Bensurto said visitors from China, one of the top sources of foreign tourists in the country, would greatly benefit from the new e-Visa system.
