As per IATF Resolution 150-A, select foreign nationals are allowed to enter the PH sans Entry Exemption Documents (EED) or existing PH long-term visa from December 1 to 15, provided that they satisfy below conditions:

1. Should be a national of countries not required to secure entry visa to the PH

2. Should have received complete dose of Covid-19 vaccine and present acceptable proof of vaccination

3. Have stayed exclusively in a “Green” country for 14 days prior to arrival in the PH (Updated list of Green countries shall be posted once available)

Other Relevant Aspects:

  • Those who merely transited through “non-Green” countries (did not pass through Immigration) and just stayed within the airport shall not be considered to have stayed in said country.
  • While eligible travelers shall not be required to go through facility-based quarantine, they are strongly encouraged to self-monitor for Covid-19 related symptoms for 14 days from arrival in the PH
