Relative to the Resolution No. 97 Series of 2021 issued by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID), the Philippine Bureau of Immigration (BI) has issued a revised guideline last January 30, 2021 effective starting February 01, 2021. The Ph BI Revised Travel Restriction Guidelines, among others, updated and lifted the travel restrictions imposed on those coming from 36 countries on Covid-19 new variant threat, and starting February 01, 2021, allowed entry of certain foreign nationals, expatriates, and Philippines visa holders.
Under the revised guidelines, the following foreign nationals, expatriates, and Philippines visa holders will be allowed to enter the Philippines without the need for DFA authorization or endorsement provided that they meet the requirements prior to entry.
The aforementioned foreign nationals, expatriates, and Philippines visa holders must present the following requirements prior to entry:
All of the foregoing is without prejudice to the exercise of the mandate of the Bureau of Immigration in Arrival and Departure Formalities.
Summary:
Notably, the Philippine government has opened up its doors for certain foreign nationals, expatriates, and Philippine Visa holders on stringent conditions to do away, if not, minimize impact of Covid-19 in the country. Accordingly, while foreign nationals, expatriates and Philippine visa holders may have a very good reason to travel to Philippines, we highly recommend to strictly comply with such health and travel standards. Please feel free to contact us should you need assistance with your Philippine visa, work permits, and related documentations.
