Officers have the authority to grant or deny admission. Visa holders are subject to normal immigration control at

the port of entry.

VALIDITY OF VISA: The period of validity of a visa indicates the time within which entry into the Philippines may

be affected. It does not refer to the length of stay in the Philippines. Please note that for Irish citizens who are
