Last Friday (March 25th), the Philippine Presidential Office officially announced that the entry exemption document will be cancelled in the Philippines from April 1st, and foreigners who are fully vaccinated can enter the Philippines without the entry exemption document.

compared with the entry policy issued in February, the biggest change in the entry rules issued this time is that there is no restriction on which country foreigners come from (previously, foreigners who entered the country were required to come from visa-free countries in the Philippines), as long as they meet the applicable visa requirements and immigration rules.

At present, the epidemic situation in the Philippines has been effectively controlled, and 72.81% of the target population has been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine.

Even though the number of infections in COVID-19 is "very low" at present, President Duterte is not prepared to cancel the mandatory wearing of masks to cope with the possible long-standing COVID-19 pandemic or possible virus variants.

In parallel with the opening up, Duterte's "Ten-Point Policy for Economic Recovery" covers medical care, education, transportation, legislation and other aspects, and aims to ensure that the Philippine economy will accelerate its recovery from the damage caused by the new crown epidemic through the efforts of the whole country.

Looking at the Philippines as a whole, the first areas to take the lead in recovery are Manila, where a large amount of foreign capital has flowed in under the policy of opening up and supporting, and Cebu and other popular areas where the focus of tourism industry is located after the influx of tourists.

As mentioned by Xiaolu before, due to the repeated destruction of the epidemic, the real estate in all parts of the Philippines is at the lowest stage, and the best time to bargain-hunting is now, and Manila and Cebu are the best places to start.

Are you ready for the official opening, investment or immigration of the Philippines tomorrow?
