The Philippine Embassy in Seoul informs the public on the implementation of the Philippine e-Visa system in the Republic of Korea starting 23 June 2025. 

Residents of the Republic of Korea entering the Philippines for temporary visits who are eligible for Philippine e-Visas may apply remotely by visiting the official website evisa.gov.ph and paying e-Visa fees online via direct bank transfer in a secure manner. e-Visa fees are non-refundable.

Once issued by the Philippine Embassy in Seoul, the approved e-Visa can be accessed by holders remotely (e.g. personal computers, laptops, mobile devices, etc.) and can be presented in either digital or printed format. The e-Visa will no longer be affixed to passports. 

e-Visa holders are reminded to accomplish the online Philippine e-Travel registration form (https://etravel.gov.ph) only after the issuance of the e-Visa by the Philippine Embassy in Seoul to avoid experiencing difficulties in Philippine ports of entry. 

e-Visas issued for tourism purposes are not valid for conversion to other types of Philippine visas, and their authorized period of stay are not valid for extension. Foreign nationals who intend to visit the Philippines for studies, employment, and other non-tourism purposes are advised to apply for a regular visa sticker at the Philippine Embassy. END

DFA Statement on the Ninth Anniversary of the 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea

DFA Statement, 12 July_2.jpg 1.26 MB
MANILA 12 July 2025 – Today, the Philippines commemorates the ninth anniversary of the landmark ruling on the South China Sea Arbitration. Since its promulgation by the Arbitral Tribunal, this Arbitral Award continues to serve as a guide for the peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law and its dispute settlement mechanisms, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which is considered the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried out.

Now entrenched in international jurisprudence, this historic ruling has been cited by the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in rendering their decisions, further reinforcing the legitimacy and finality of the 2016 Arbitral Award.  It is an illuminating precedent for States facing similarly challenging circumstances in the seas, and the clearest of reminders to the international community that the rule of law can be the great equalizer between and among nations, and serve as the bedrock of peace and stability for the international community.

Beyond marking this milestone, the Philippines continues to honor this Arbitral Award by its commitment to both enhancing public awareness of maritime entitlements and other rights and obligations under the UNCLOS, and leveraging more partnerships with like-minded countries in upholding the rule of law.

Along with the UNCLOS, the Arbitral Award will continue to be a cornerstone of Philippine maritime policy and the country’s unflinching advocacy for a rules-based order governed by international law. The Filipino nation will always look to the enduring guidance of the 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea in asserting its rights and entitlements in its maritime domain and in protecting its sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction.
