9A visa Philippines | Temporary Visitor visa or Tourist Visa
Whether you’re exploring the Philippines for tourism, visiting family, or attending business meetings, the 9A visa—also known as the Temporary Visitor Visa—provides legal entry for short-term stays.
This visa is issued to foreign nationals entering the country for non-working purposes, including travel, leisure, social visits, or short-term business engagements. Depending on your nationality, you may need to apply in advance or benefit from visa-free entry with extensions available through the Bureau of Immigration.
The 9A visa Philippines allows for multiple extensions, enabling some visitors to stay up to 36 months, provided all conditions are met. However, using this visa for employment is strictly prohibited and may result in fines or deportation.
For individuals planning a longer stay, life transition, or visa conversion, this permit often serves as the starting point toward residency or employment authorization.
