- Up to 30 days per visit.

- Return or onward ticket to your next destination

- Good to know
- German nationals are on the DFA's list of countries whose nationals may enter visa-free for an initial stay of 30 days under Executive Order No. 408 (checked 2 Oct 2026); they are not on the separate 59-day bilateral list (only Brazil and Israel). The stay can be extended at a Bureau of Immigration office (the French MFA cites up to 29 more days, 59 in total, for a fee). Cross-checked against the German foreign ministry's travel advice (checked 2 Oct 2026). The German Federal Foreign Office describes the free entry stamp as a 'visa on arrival'; in Philippine terms it is visa-free entry under EO 408.
