MANILA, Philippines — Foreigners who do not need a visa to enter the Philippines may come to the country again as it now allows them to make a visit without quarantining provided that they are fully-vaccinated, come from a “Green List” country and present a negative RT-PCR test taken 72 hours before departure.

 

This new policy, adopted by the government’s pandemic task force, will be in effect from December 1 up until December 15 and will affect nationals of 159 countries and territories who are not required to obtain a visa to come to the Philippines.

 

Foreigners who fall under this category must have stayed exclusively for 14 days in areas placed by the Philippines under its “Green List” for them to be allowed entry.
