Philippines working to extend e-visas for foreign visitorsMANILA, Philippines — The government is “fine-tuning” measures to extend electronic visas for foreigners staying in the Philippines, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said. In response to Kumaran’s request for e-visa extensions for Indian nationals in the Philippines, Marcos said that the provisions for extending electronic visas would not only apply to Indian citizens but also to other foreigners staying in the country. “It won’t be just India, we are doing it with…several other countries as well to keep it. Earlier in January, Marcos ordered the extension of e-visas for Chinese, Indian, South Korean and Japanese nationals to encourage more visitors to come to the Philippines. The Department of Foreign Affairs launched the country’s e-visa system in August.
