Hello sir/mam, 

I wanted to inquire regarding visa on arrival for Indians in the philippines. As many countries are allowed to travel to Philippines, if they are fully vaccinated, India, however, is still not allowed and many fully vaccinated indian citizens are wanting to travel to the Philippines.

Sincerely requesting you to share the data on Visa on Arrival or Visa Issuance to Indian citizens.

Warm Regards
