Hi, I'm a US citizen and I am trying to go see my fiance in the Philippines. What do I have to do to get an entry visa from the Philippine consulate or Philippine Embassy in Washington DC? The consulate says I'm not eligible to apply for a visa right now bcs I don't meet the eligibility requirements? Can someone please let me know what to do? It's been just over 8 months since I was last in the morning to visit her.

If your only ties to the Philippines is a fiance, then you ain't gonna make it into the country. Been that way for many month now.

 

Your options are to fly her to  a central American country and visit her there.

 

 

Lol, I don't think so, bcs once they release the two vaccines for covid, countries will open up again.

If you do not have a spouse or a minor child residing in the Philippines, then you will not get a visa.

 

Find another country that you and your fiancee can both visit now and plan to meet there.

I don't see Philippines opening up until September to October if they start releasing vaccine in December.

 

Philippines isn't know for it's speed or being efficient.  Even in the USA they are saying regular people won't get the vaccine for many months, it will go to healthcare worker,  underlying symptons, elderly, etc first.

 

Not like they will release a vaccine and they next day Philippines say's Tourist are welcomed.   With Philippines poor infrastructure and lack of medical facilities it will be a long time until Philippines opens back up for tourist.
