The Philippines will allow Chinese nationals to enter without visas for stay of up to two weeks for tourism or business purposes, which will be effective on June 16, Bloomberg reported citing a source from the Department of Foreign Affairs.

It is also only valid for those entering through the Manila and Cebu airports, and the 14-day stay period is not extendable, Inquirer news site reported.

The visa-free arrangement will be in effect for a year and will be reviewed before expiring.

The Philippines welcomed 5.6 million foreign visitors in 2025, nearly equal to the figure it logged in 2024, but remained about 37% below the pre-pandemic level of 2019, when 8.26 million visitors were recorded.

Cambodia will launch a pilot visa-exemption program for Chinese citizens this summer, Khmer Times reported.

Under the pilot programme, which runs from June 15 to Oct. 15, Chinese tourists will be granted visa-free entry regardless of their point of departure.

The move comes as the industry faces a cooling period.

Cambodia welcomed 5.17 million foreign tourists in the first 11 months of 2025, a 13% decline compared to the same period the previous year.

Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia already waived visas for Chinese tourists.
