The Philippines has decided to allow visa-free entry to Indian passport holders, in a major step that could provide a fillip to tourism and strengthen people-to-people ties.

Reciprocating the gesture, India has decided to extend the facility of free e-visas to tourists from the Philippines. Apart from this, there may be direct flight connectivity between India and the Philippines in the coming months.

In a statement on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: “We welcome the decision of the Philippines to grant visa-free entry to Indian tourists. India, in turn, has decided to extend the facility of free e-visas to tourists from the Philippines. Efforts will also be made to launch direct flights between Delhi and Manila within this year."

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal also said the Philippines has made visa-free entry possible for Indian tourists up to a period of 14 days. “We expect that these measures would bolster our tourism exchanges, commercial linkages, and people-to-people interactions," he added.
