📈 TOURIST ARRIVALS ARE CLIMBING AGAIN! 🇵🇭✈️

The Bureau of Immigration has reported a steady increase in tourist arrivals in the Philippines even during the lean season — a positive sign for tourism, travel, and business activity.

According to BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval:
🔹 April average daily arrivals increased from 1,337 to 1,358
🔹 May average daily arrivals rose from 1,299 to 1,309

🌍 South Korea remains the top source of foreign visitors, followed by the United States, Canada, Japan, and China.

The BI expects arrivals to plateau in Q3 before a possible surge in Q4 2026, which could bring stronger momentum for the tourism and hospitality sectors.

PACE Consultancy Advisory | Immigration Policy Watch

Malacañang has confirmed that the proposed PHP240 immigration fee for travelers entering and leaving the Philippines remains under review, with no final approval or implementation at this stage.

The proposal, which has been linked to the planned modernization of the Bureau of Immigration’s border control systems under the CAISS Project, is still in the discussion phase. Current reports emphasize that no final decision has been reached, and the public has been advised not to be alarmed.

For businesses, foreign nationals, frequent travelers, and families with upcoming travel plans, this development is worth monitoring closely—particularly where mobility planning, immigration compliance, and travel budgeting may be affected by future policy changes.

PACE Consultancy continues to monitor official immigration developments and policy announcements relevant to Philippine travel, mobility, and compliance matters.

Foreign nationals staying beyond their initial authorized period in the Philippines must apply for a visa extension with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) before their authorized stay expires.

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ALERT

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has announced stronger immigration enforcement in key tourist destinations following community concerns.

According to BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado, foreign nationals who violate Philippine immigration laws—including overstaying, engaging in unauthorized employment, and disorderly conduct—may face sanctions such as deportation and blacklisting.

The Philippines continues to welcome legitimate tourists, investors, workers, and residents who respect local laws and immigration regulations.

If you are a foreign national, employer, or business engaging foreign workers, ensuring immigration compliance is more important than ever.

The BIR List of Accredited Tax Agents allows businesses and taxpayers to verify whether a tax practitioner, accountant, or consultancy firm has valid accreditation.

Checking accreditation helps protect your business from unauthorized representation and ensures compliance with BIR regulations.

⚠️ BEFORE YOU DO BUSINESS, VERIFY FIRST.

Not all registered corporations remain active. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regularly publishes advisories and lists of corporations whose registrations have been revoked for failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Before entering into contracts, making investments, extending credit, or engaging in business transactions, take time to verify whether a corporation is still in good standing and authorized to operate.

Protect your business from unnecessary legal and financial risks by checking the SEC’s List of Revoked Corporations through the SEC website: sec.gov.ph
