Which classification applies to a passenger arriving in the Philippines for purposes with a visa exemption?

The correct classification for a passenger arriving in the Philippines with a visa exemption is Non-Restricted National. This term refers to individuals from countries that are allowed to enter the Philippines without a visa for certain durations, facilitating travel and tourism.

Such travelers are recognized by the Philippines as having fewer restrictions in terms of entry conditions compared to those who require visas. Non-Restricted Nationals often benefit from simplified entry procedures, making it easier for them to visit the country for tourism, business, or other purposes within the allowed timeframe.

The other classifications do not apply in this case: Transit Passenger typically refers to individuals who are merely passing through a country en route to another destination without intending to enter the local territory. Layover Passenger usually describes those who have a scheduled stopover for a short period on their flight but might not leave the airport. Restricted National would apply to individuals from countries that do face entry restrictions or require a visa to enter, which is not the situation here given the visa exemption.
