DOT chief hails reinstatement of Chinese e-Visa
Manila Bulletin
|October 18, 2025
Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco said on Friday, Oct. 17, that the reinstatement of electronic visas (e-Visas) for Chinese nationals demonstrates the country's readiness to welcome more travelers and its renewed confidence in advancing the tourism market.
The e-Visa system, set to take effect in November 2025, is expected to help revive arrivals from China, historically one of the country's largest source markets for visitors.
Arrivals fell sharply after the system's suspension two years ago, compounded by pandemic-related travel restrictions that slowed recovery across the sector.
"The suspension of the e-Visa system in 2023 had a significant and measurable impact on our ability to meet tourism targets, particularly from one of our strongest pre-pandemic markets," Frasco said.
