The Philippine Embassy in New Dehli may issue visitation visas valid for up to 59 days for pleasure trips.

Generally, if an applicant can supply all the documentation required and it appears that the applicant bis a financially capable person who is likely to return to India, a visa will be granted. Documents which show that an applicant has business, income, family and other ties that will cause him or her to return home are generally helpful.
