Philippines visa for Bangladeshi citizens

The Philippines’ official site for the tourist visa is e-services.immigration.gov.ph. Processing time, as the Philippines states it: e-Visa: 7 to 12 working days (single entry), 15 to 21 (multiple entry); sticker visas: set by the issuing post. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Visa-free: 30 days initially; 9(a) visa: up to 59 days per stay; extensions at the BI up to 36 months in total for visa-free nationals.

Measured from Dhaka, Filipino embassies and consulates are closest in Yangon, Myanmar (971 km), Chiang Mai, Thailand (1,047 km) and Vientiane, Laos (1,422 km). Which post accepts applications from residents of Bangladesh is decided by the Philippines, so confirm it with the mission or the official visa portal before booking an appointment.
