Under the new policy, Indian citizens can enjoy a visa-free stay in the Philippines for up to 14 days. Additionally, those holding valid visas or residence permits from the United States, Australia, Canada, Schengen countries, Singapore, or the United Kingdom are eligible for a visa-free stay of up to 30 days.
