Passport and transit notes

- Passport should be valid at least 60 days beyond the permitted duration of stay, e-Visa, visa exemption or residence permit. Türkiye also advises having a passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival.

- Transit
- airside transit: not required; landside transit: required; Türkiye says no visa is needed if the traveller does not leave the international transit area. If the traveller leaves the transit area or passes passport control, they must meet Türkiye's normal visa, e-Visa or visa-exemption rule for their passport; narrow route-specific airport-transit rules can apply.

Why this verdict
Ordinary Philippine passport holders remain in Türkiye's visa-required bucket for the normal tourist case. The e-Visa is only a narrower shortcut for travellers who already hold certain qualifying third-country visas or residence permits.
Conditional rules
- Ordinary Philippine passport holder with a valid Schengen member state, US, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit eVisa
Up to 30 days. Eligible travellers can obtain a 30-day single-entry Turkish e-Visa. The qualifying third-country visa or residence permit must still be valid on the date of entry, and e-Visas issued by those supporting countries do not count.
