Can I go abroad to the Philippines now? Admissions policies have changed significantly since November 4th

Many people are talking about this Philippine visa issue recently. Many people are asking if they can go to the Philippines now. In fact, they can still go, but it’s more troublesome. It is said that there will be more changes starting on November 4th. So what are the specific changes? Let’s take a look.

As far as the current situation is concerned, you can go to the Philippines. But it takes a lot.

The Philippine Inter-Agency Anti-epidemic Task Force (IATF) has approved the conditional lifting of mandatory hotel quarantine measures for incoming passengers who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 starting from October 14.

< p>1. Quarantine-free requirements for entry into the Philippines:

Complete vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine approved by the Philippine authorities 2 More than 6 weeks ago;

Passengers need to submit a negative COVID-19 test report within 72 hours before departure.

2. Situation of quarantine for at least 6 days after entering the Philippines:

If minors travel with their parents or guardians and have been fully vaccinated, they must be accompanied by their parents or guardians.

4. Booking a quarantine hotel for entry into the Philippines (personal suggestion, for reference

We also know clearly that, Documents from the Philippines indicate that fully vaccinated people are exempt from hotel quarantine, and unvaccinated people need to book a 6-day quarantine hotel. However, there is still no model to base on whether the passenger's vaccine certificate is recognized by Philippine authorities. Do a nucleic acid test on the 5th day, and the test report will be issued within 24-48 hours (according to experience, it is usually issued around 5 to 6 pm on the 2nd or 3rd day). Therefore, it is not enough for us to book an isolation hotel according to the number of days recommended in the document The following is an example of using November 1 as the input date:

There are a few things to note here that I need to explain to you: (You have to look carefully

1. For friends who are not fully vaccinated, if your scheduled flight arrives in the Philippines (Manila) before 2 pm, then you have to book an extra night of hotel, because hotels in the Philippines basically check in at 2 pm. (Here , I suggest you book an extra night before booking an secluded hotel. Sometimes, the custom in the Philippines is to book an extra night to facilitate customs clearance. Why is this?

2. Even if you are fully vaccinated, you may still be quarantined in the hotel. It depends on whether the vaccine certificate is recognized by B0Q at the airport. (Personally, I suggest that you have already spent a lot of money on air tickets and visas. In order to enter safely, spend more. It is acceptable to book a few nights in a hotel for two to three thousand. After all, the key is to enter the country smoothly.

3. If your partner is not fully vaccinated, you should book a quarantine hotel for at least 7 days and 6 nights.

5. Issues that must be paid attention to when entering the Philippines:

After the new Philippine policy comes out, it will take some time to test the cooperation of various departments, such as China Customs, airlines, Philippine Customs, Philippine Entry Nucleic Acid Testing Team, Philippine BOQ Department (Philippine Bureau of Quarantine, etc.).

1. For example, a friend reported that when the Philippines issued an entry policy of at least 10 days, Cebu Airlines and Philippine Airlines allowed passengers to board a flight for 9 nights with a hotel reservation, but Xiamen Airlines required passengers to board the flight before boarding. Hotel reservations for more than 10 nights must be made before leaving the country. (So ??it is recommended that you book a hotel for one more night.

2. Enter the Philippines (At present, basically everyone enters with a business visa, so you need to prepare the materials (passport, approval document, invitation letter, work permit, Contracts, hotel reservations, etc. must be printed

3. If you want to be quarantined after entering the Philippines, you must not leave the house without authorization. If you are caught by the police, you are likely to be arrested. Deported directly to the country.
