    Philippine ordinary passports: Angola tourist-visa exemption

    A current Government/CIPRA retrospective identifies the Presidential instrument integrating the Philippines into Angola’s tourist-visa-exemption regime. The original regime’s tourism-only purpose and ordinary border formalities continue to limit this classification.

    • Tourist visits only; the Government source does not establish work, study, medical-treatment, residence, transit, crew, diplomatic, official/service or special-document treatment.
    • The reviewed current Government confirmation establishes the current inclusion but does not publish the amending decree’s operative-text PDF or a precise effective date; no date is normalized here.
    • Normal border admission and document requirements remain separate.

    Kuwaiti ordinary passports: advance embassy visa destinations

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort

    The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule labels this exact destination cohort "Visa is required" and separately labels electronic and arrival-issued routes elsewhere in the same schedule. It is normalized as advance visa required.

    • This is the Ministry's ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline. The source separately labels eVisa and visa-on-arrival rows, so a bare "Visa is required" row is not recast as either route.
    • Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas. Those conditional document routes are excluded from this passport-only baseline.
    • Mission availability, passport recognition, individual admission, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official, service and other special-document treatment are outside this policy.
