🇵🇭 Philippines visa requirements for Burkinabe citizens

Entry rules for Burkina Faso passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Burkina Faso can travel to Philippines for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 30 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 30-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Philippines, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Philippines immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Burkinabe passport ranks #150 worldwide, opening 56 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (30 visa-free, 25 with a visa on arrival and 1 with an eTA). Philippines is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Filipino citizens need to arrange entry to Burkina Faso in advance (e-visa).

Across South-Eastern Asia as a whole, 5 of 11 destinations are open to Burkinabe travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
