Dear Larsevert,

If his stay in the Philippines is 30 days or less, then there is no need to
apply for a visa. However, your ex-wife should execute an Waiver of Exclusion
Ground (WEG) and have it notarized by our office.

For a stay of 30 days of more, he needs a visa as well as the WEG. Below is an
information and requirements on:
