If permission is required, what permission is it, where/how is it obtained, and what core onward-travel evidence is required?
The permission is a 9(B) transit visa, applied for at a Philippine embassy (example: Tokyo) by foreign travellers using the Philippines as a transit point to another final destination. The basic requirements are a passport valid at least six (6) months beyond the intended stay, a signed non-immigrant visa application form, a photograph taken within the last 3 months and a confirmed onward ticket showing flight details from the country of origin to the destination country via the Philippines.
