Philippines Seamen Visa
Are you a sailor headed to the Philippines? You will need to get a Seamen visa. This type of visa is available to a seaman serving in a vessel arriving at a port of the Philippines and seeking to enter temporarily and solely in pursuit of your calling as a seaman.
Go to my Philippines visa page for information on other types of visas for the Philippines.
I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Philippines Seaman Visa.
- If you’re inside the U.S., click here to find the Embassy or Consulate for the State you live in (there are 10 in total).
- If you’re outside of the U.S.: Click here.
The best list of required documents is here at the Embassy of the Philippines (in Washington D.C., USA). However, I recommend you check the website of your embassy or consulate to confirm the required documents for your situation.
- Go to the website of the Embassy or Consulate you found in Step 1 to find out your visa fees.
- It is tough to find, but the fees (if you scroll down the page) for those applying in the United States can be found here.
- Submit your required materials from Step 2 and visa fee from Step 3 to the Embassy or Consulate you found in Step 1.
- Submission instructions will vary from consulate to consulate.
Congratulations! The Embassy or Consulate of the Philippines will give to you your brand new Philippines visa.
Don’t get sick! Check vaccination requirements here.
