Is it illegal to fly a drone in the Philippines? Are drones illegal in the Philippines? Yes, if you don't have written permission from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). These are the drone laws in the Philippines.
I contacted the CAAP before I went to the Philippines to request permission to fly my drone also known as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). It will take about 1-2 weeks to get permission from the CAAP so you may need to plan ahead before you leave for your trip.
The CAAP also noted that Airport customs may confiscate your drone if you don't have written permission from the CAAP to fly the drone in the Philippines. Furthermore, the Airport Customs may charge you an import tax of 100,000 PHP (about 2000 USD). This is video shows you what you need to know bring your drone to the Philippines.

Dear Sir/Madam:
Greetings from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines!
Please be informed that the Bureau of Customs (BOC) and this Authority had a discussion regarding the importation of Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) or commonly known as drones, to the Philippines.
During the discussion, both government agencies agreed that AUTHORIZATION for the importation of drones to the Philippines is no longer required. However, all RPAS owners and/or operators, whether engaged in commercial or non-commercial operations shall strictly adhere to the provisions stipulated in Philippine Civil Aviation Regulations Part 11; 11.11. (Electronic copy of PCAR Part 11 is attached)
Moreover, this Authority has also requested the BOC to advise all customs personnel in NAIA Terminals and other concerned offices not to require drone importers to secure an import clearance/permit from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
Should you require further inquiries, you may call the Flight Operations Department of the Flight Standards Inspectorate Service at Tel.: (+63) (02) 944-2172.

Out sobrang STANDING! (taglish, hahaha) Thank you for clarifying that. We are bringing our Phantom 4 Pro with us this December/January and plan to film our favorite locations in Palawan. Maraming salamat para sa informacion.

@Mike-hm2gc 6 лет назад

Paolo fromTOKYO so this means that there's no longer a risk of customs asking for an import fee, right ?

@argelquiane9021 6 лет назад

So this means, I don't need to email CAAP to get permit?

@user-jo3dn6cg9p 6 лет назад

hi is there any official links for this? i'm going to boracay this week and kinda worry.

@Mike-hm2gc 6 лет назад

陳安德 any issues flying in Boracay? Was it too windy? I'm going in 3 days

@tsvetaan2733 6 лет назад

Great video and cool drone shots!! Thank you very much for sharing your drone travels and talking us through local regulations! This is really helpful!

@CollosalTrollge 5 лет назад

Hi Paolo, what is your take on the Mavic Air for beginner? and or long time usage? I was looking at the Pro1 r Pro2 , but really after watching so many videos, i reckon the Air is also very good in comparison and so much smaller to travel with, not to mention the rear cameras it also has.

@bryanortiz8450 6 лет назад

Thank you for this video! I was also questioning myself regarding in bringing my drone to the Philippines.

@BuddyMoran 7 лет назад

Nice video, Paolo! Thanks for sharing your experience. Which of the emails you shared replied? I plan to go there in January; to Bohol and El Nido.

@JulitoBernales 5 лет назад

Hey dude you can bring your drone and fly here in the Phil. but be reminded of the restricted area or what they call GEO ZONE ...these are airports , ports, military installations

@diegorenevelasquez 7 лет назад

Thanks for the heads up. I like the fact that you were prepared and sought official permission. I'll be doing the same for my trip to Palawan later this year.

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey Rene, I here Palawan is beautiful. You'll get some great drone shots out there. Hope to talk to you again soon.

@guardianangel6119 7 лет назад

@happytimeadventures9492 6 лет назад

Hey, you're going to Palawan too??? We'll be there December/January. I highly recommend staying at Palo Alto if you're looking for a unique place to stay.

@GamerxC-xo2jt 6 лет назад

@melinatrovatello5596 6 лет назад

Thank you for this very informative video, Paolo 😊 I‘ve seen your update but I can’t find anything official on this topic on the website of the CAA... Because I‘m kind of afraid I will loose my brand new Mavic at customs I‘ve send the email to them with no reply so far ... do you have any official source that states that I don’t need a permission to bring my drone to the Philippines? Best, Melina

@destinationdezz1588 2 года назад

Do scanners not pick up drone images when going through customs? I have a DJI mini which is very small. I wonder can that be detected? Did you just have your drone in a regular bag? Thanks for the video.

@richardretirado6261 7 лет назад

thanks for the video, did you have any problems on your way out? Go thru security easily in your hand carry. also did the authorities you asked locally even look at your papers before they said yes?

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey 83fb Chich, no I didn't have any issues on my way out. All the drone gear was in hand-carry. The local authorities I asked didn't as to see the written permission. Thanks for watching and hope to talk to you again next time.

@fringes475 5 лет назад

Any updates for this year? Do you still need to register your drone to CAAP? Do you have to pay fees? How much? What forms do I need? Where can I find them?

@edbjr8 7 лет назад

great video. have the rules changed? is it really necessary to get a authorization letter as of aug 2017?

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey edbjr8, I think the rules still apply, but just in case I sent the CAAP a follow enquiry about the rules and still have not received a response.

@bessiedouglas4530 6 лет назад

This is the right video for anyone who needs to search out out about this topic. You notice so much its almost onerous to argue with you (not that I really would needHaHa). You positively put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply great!

@Sharkhunter317 7 лет назад

Great video Paolo. I will do the same since I'm taking my mavic to the Philippines in 2 months. all the best

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hi Alejandro, thanks for the feedback! enjoy your drone flying in the Philippines.

@katseeloeydo6188 6 лет назад

Great vid bro! and the info within and the update below is wonderful news! I was about to call my friend back home in the Philippines who's father is an ex-president of FSIS-CAAP, so I can get a clearance to fly my drone when I go visit our beloved Philippines very soon!

@josephlontoc4055 6 лет назад

Hi Paolo, This is Joe from California. Thanks for all the info concerning drones in the Philippines. Your RU-vid channel is one of our favorites. My wife and I love your videos about Japan. I’m glad to hear the Philippines is not requiring CAAP clearance anymore, your video must have had an impression on them. My question for is about drones in Japan. See, we’ll be taking a family vacation to the Philippines and Japan in June. I’ll have my mavic with us in the Philippines then we’ll be heading to Tokyo and Osaka before heading back to California. Will I have any issues carrying my drone into Japan? Please advise. Can’t wait to visit Japan again! Keep up your outstanding videos, we’ll keep watching!

@senseofstile 7 лет назад

Did you get a permit In Boracay?

@jonfrederickdino4408 6 лет назад

Did u acquire your drone there in Japan? How much did u score it? Just like to compare prices. Thanks!

@Daniella3d 7 лет назад

Very cool! At least you did your research and followed the regulation, asked permissions etc...you did the right things the right ways. If more people do that and fly their drones responsively, then it's going to affect the regulations in the future and flying drones will be easier for everyone.

@mykenearthurso8314 7 лет назад

Thanks Paolo fromTOKYO! This is very informative! Just like to ask. Im from Philippines and DJI spark is not yet available here. So i bought 2 spark drones online for me and a cousin and asked my aunt to bring it here in PH since she's coming this july. Does she need to declare it with customs? Coz she will leave the drones with us. Any insights? thanks

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey Mykene, CAAP say that you need to register any drones you are bringing into the country. Customs may or may not ask to see the drone, but it's probably best to have the written CAAP permission or you'll have to pay an import tax. In my case, Customs didn't ask me about the drone.

@mykenearthurso8314 7 лет назад

thank you very much!

@PNOYPWR 5 лет назад

I just came back from Philippines on vacation from January and February 2019 with my DJI Mavic Pro. Yes, they did not check my baggage coming in. Going out of the country, the X-ray operator ask me if that's a drone inside. I told him "Yes" and just told me, Ok and let me take my baggage straight to the check in.

@filofpv1102 7 лет назад

Bro Paolo, man I really confused about getting the permission, I try to look it up on the link that you put in the subscription. But the thing is where do you ask for permission to fly my drone in Philippines. There is a lot of information that I'm really confused and where do I ask for permission to fly my drone. Please HELP ME...

@umang567 6 лет назад

I tried many time, i even sent reminder to the given email ids, but i am not receing any response, can you please guide what are the other ways to do this. i am going after 10 days i.e. on 2nd february please let me know how do i contact them to get permission. i am carrying Dji spark

@MaykTime 3 года назад

@timothys2928 7 лет назад

How long did this process take?

@youtubevideo8820 4 года назад

Correct matched!😊

@izenphotography8615 7 лет назад

Hey paolo how long can you use that printed permission to fly your drone? For instance you will stay in the philippines for years will that be good as your permanent pass to fly?

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey iZen Photography, there doesn't seem to be an expiration date so I assume you can use it indefinitely for that specifically REGISTERED drone. If you get a different drone in the future, you probably have to get another letter. But please double confirm with CAAP. Their contact info is in the description of the video. Hope to talk to you again soon.

@MAGICJ23 7 лет назад

Paolo, just how did you word your request to fly your drone in the philippines to the CAAP? We will be going there in july so i want to get this done as soon as possible, can you help me out with the wording of my draft request to them?

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey MAGICJ23, a simple email requesting written permission to fly your drone will suffice. Include: Name, Full Address, Purpose, Time of travel, Drone Make/Model/Serial Number and specs (dimensions/weight). Should be all you need. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

@MAGICJ23 7 лет назад

@mikeka6676 5 лет назад

Thanks Paolo, if it weren’t for folks like you trying to do the right thing and contacting CAAP for rules and permission for vacationing in the PH with our drone to get great pics, they may not have revised their restrictions and “taxes” being imposed on unsuspecting PH tourists. 👍🏼

@DensioJimenez 6 лет назад

Hello kabayan thanks for the info.....this is my first time to bring my drone from Kuwait to Philippines should I check in my drone or hand carry it? Because I'm worried just to avoid the problem in the airport.

@PaolofromTOKYO 6 лет назад

I always hand carry. Also less likely for someone to steal it out of your luggage.

@daflyingsamoan3079 6 лет назад

I had my drone in a carry on bag and no one said anything about it when it went through the x-ray machine. So it's absolutely LEGAL!

@johnmichaelumbac9897 4 года назад

@akatyper3766 7 лет назад

@uz2bbad 7 лет назад

thanks for the video, will be travelling to Cebu soon and I'm glad I've seen your video. I have the phantom 4 which is much bigger than the mavic but if the limit is 100kilograms, then I should be good. Thanks again..

I've brought three drones to the Philippines on two separate occasions without an issues at all, they weren't even mentioned. To be sure they were cheap drones bought at Dubai duty free, but still, it doesn't seem to be an issue with smaller toy like drones.

Hey Florante, that's faster than expected. Good to hear that the process is speeding up for them. Remember to carry the written permission around with you anywhere you fly. Happy droning!

This is helpful. By the way, Im planning to bring my drone from Japan to Philippines..

@jasongoestohell 7 лет назад

Hi Paolo! I am unable to reach the CAAP website and whenever I send an e-mail, I always get a message saying their message list is full. My flight to the Philippines is this coming June 23rd and it is already the 9th. All attempts to contact CAAP have failed. Should I just leave my DJI Mavic Pro at home then?

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey Jason, that's so weird. I just checked the website as well and it looks down. Maybe they are just having issues with their servers at the moment. I would suggest waiting a few days and try again. It would be such a waste to not bring your Mavic to the Philippines.

@MonneJ 7 лет назад

Paolo fromTOKYO is it possible for you to dm me the email you sent to? The websight is still down. Great Regards Emanuel

@jasongoestohell 7 лет назад

I'll just take a chance and bring the Mavic Pro anyways and hope they don't check. My departure date is a few days away and the CAAP website is still down. This waiting is ridiculous.

so how was it?

@jamespaatmag6782 7 лет назад

Hi. I have a question. Is it a written letter you had to send them or is it an email? how long until they send you the official letter. I'm also flying to manila next month and I have a phantom 4 pro.

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey James, all of it was done via email and the entire process took about 2 weeks. You should have plenty of time to get the permission letter. Good luck and hope you stick around for other videos. talk to you soon.

@jamespaatmag6782 7 лет назад

Thanks. I subscribed to your channel btw. great videos.

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey James, cool! thank you for subscribing. hope to get more of your feedback in future videos.

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey jrfvismanos, I hope regulations stay consistent. You'll have a great time with your Mavic. take it easy and talk to you in the next one.

Hey great content, you deserve a bigger audience and you will get it because you got great quality. Make sure you use great titles and tags to promote your videos.

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey Sentinel HDD, I appreciate the positive feedback. Titles and tags are a work-in-progress. Talk to you again soon.

Hello Paolo....nice and very useful vid, thanks. So im planning to go to Phils on sept and bringing my bebop 2. Did you have an update on the official email address where you sent the request?

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey saviour, I'm still waiting for the CAAP to get back to me, but I will be sure to update you as well as the description when I get a response from them.

@jeff5982457 7 лет назад

Thanks Paolo....in 2:35 the letter says "Send us a formal request letter in this email address...." - that's the email address I need (which is redacted as shown) . Please send to jeffreysal@yahoo.com if its confidential. Thanks.

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey saviour, sorry I contacted the CAAP person twice now. He still has not got back to me with confirmation on a general email address. Don't know if it is right to share his email address at this point. If you can't wait, just send a general request to all the email addresses in the description. Someone will get back to you in a day or 2. At least that is what happened in my case.

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Just got a response. For drone inquiries, you may use the email, flightoperations@caap.gov.ph or weguevarrajr@caap.gov.ph

Thanks a lot !!!

@TopsMiah 7 лет назад

thanks for sharing, I was planning to visit in 2018 this is a lot of hard work. £2000 import tax fee that is nuts

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey JustOneForAll, yeah, better to be safe than sorry. In my case, it took a couple weeks to get the paperwork cleared so best to plan ahead. Once I had the permission though, I was less anxious about flying in the Philippines. well worth it.

@TopsMiah 7 лет назад

Thank you for thinking of others and sharing ...awesome job all the best ...

@JazMoody 7 лет назад

next on the list is to invest on a drone..after i buy a good camera to shoot my videos..great video again

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey Tuan, I'd agree with your plan. First get yourself a good camera then the drone. I do most of my filming with my regular camera. I only use the drone for background shots in my video. (at least in my case). Thanks for the feedback. Talk to you again soon.

@rainierfernandez9236 7 лет назад

its very informative. I already planned to go for vacation this summer in the Philippines and bring my dji magic pro. Hope there ins no hassle and headache, thanks

@PaolofromTOKYO 7 лет назад

Hey Rainier, glad that you found it informative. Should be no hassle getting written approval. someone reported that it took only 5 days, but I would give yourself at least 2 weeks just to be safe.
