How many visa-free countries with a Philippine passport?

62 destinations out of 198 open without a prior application (34 visa-free, 3 with an electronic authorisation, 25 with a visa on arrival). Counting e-visas too, which remain an online application, the total is 110. Data dated 2026-02-17.

Why do websites give different numbers for the Philippine passport?

Because they count different things. Strictly visa-free gives 34 countries; adding electronic authorisations and visas on arrival (the Henley Passport Index count) gives 62; adding e-visas gives 110. An outdated source adds another gap.

Why you read different numbers elsewhere

For the same Philippine passport, websites give totals that don't match. They are not necessarily wrong: they count different things, without saying so. Here are the three definitions, applied to the same data.

Strictly visa-free: 34; You show your passport, nothing else.
No prior application: 62; + electronic authorisation and visa on arrival. The Henley Passport Index count, and ours.
Counting e-visas: 110; + e-visa. More flattering, but still an application.

What this page does not replace

Entry rules change often, sometimes overnight. This record gives the known state, with its source; it does not replace checking with the destination’s embassy or consulate, the only authority on the day you leave.
