Notes

Not open for applications. Executive Order No. 86 (24 April 2025) authorizes the Department of Foreign Affairs to issue a Digital Nomad Visa to non-immigrants who will work remotely, using digital technology, for clients or employers outside the Philippines. On 9 October 2026 the official e-Visa policy page still lists only 9(a) temporary-visitor categories, and the Philippine Embassy in Madrid states that the e-Visa portal processes only 9(a) visas. A holder may stay up to one year and may renew for the same duration. The Order does not cap the number of renewals, so no total maximum is stored. Multiple entry may be granted; it is not automatic. There is no published income amount, fee, processing time, reciprocity list or application form. "Sufficient income generated outside the Philippines" is the only income rule. Applicants must be at least 18, show remote work, show no criminal record, hold health insurance valid for the visa period, be a national of a country that offers digital nomad visas to Filipinos, and not be employed in the Philippines. A national of such a country with no Philippine Foreign Service Post may apply at the nearest post, once guidelines exist. The Order creates no tax exemption, dependent route or path to residence or citizenship. Local employment is a ground for revocation. Separate Digital Nomad Visa bills in Congress are not this program and are not law.
