Why this matters

This visa can potentially simplify long-term stay requirements for remote workers in the Philippines.

Key facts

  • EO 86, signed 24 April 2025, authorises the DFA to issue Digital Nomad Visas to non-immigrant foreigners staying temporarily while working remotely for clients or employers outside the Philippines.
  • Applicants must show proof of remote work and sufficient income generated outside the Philippines, hold health insurance for the visa period, and not be employed in the Philippines.
  • They must be nationals of a country that offers digital nomad visas to Filipinos and where the Philippines has a Foreign Service Post.
  • The Presidential Communications Office said applications will be screened tightly; no dollar income threshold was found in the sources reviewed, so confirm with the DFA.
