Visa on Arrival Procedure & Documentation at Manila Airport

And, rather weirdly, proof that our daughter is indeed our daughter. Our Indian passports have parents’ names endorsed in passports - so this was not an issue. But I have never been asked this before.

LOT of child trafficking incidents hence they need to ensure this. Ideally they ask for birth certificate.

so I am in the Philippines now. Below is my experience from Immigration at Manila airport.

I went straight to Immigration - there was no separate visa-on-arrival counter. The waiting time at immigration was longer than 1 hour though — very poorly managed queues, and slow moving officers.

The officer looked at the following:

  • Philippines e-travel pass (its a QR code covid check thing). You can get one here: https://etravel.gov.ph/. My travel agent did not know about this, and luckily the airline made me register before checking me in.
  • Passports - obviously
  • Singapore Visa
  • Return ticket

They did not ask for hotel bookings, photographs, or any kind of payment.
