Guidelines Travel to the Philippines
For the information of the Filipino Community in Pakistan and the
general public, in line with the announcement by President Rodrigo
Roa Duterte of the Enhanced Community Quarantine for the Entire
Luzon area, following are the latest travel-related guidelines for
the Philippines:
• Outbound passengers intending to depart the
Philippines from any of the international airports in Luzon shall be
allowed to travel for a period of seventy-two (72) hours
from effectivity of the Enhanced community quarantine;
• Inbound international passengers, in transit upon
effectivity of the Enhanced Community Quarantine, shall be allowed
entry, subject to applicable quarantine procedures if coming
from countries with existing travel restrictions imposed by the
Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF).
• All inbound Filipino citizens including their foreign spouse and
children, if any, holders of Permanent Resident Visa, and holders of
9(e) Diplomat Visas issued by the Philippine Government shall be
allowed entry, subject to applicable quarantine procedures if coming
from countries with existing travel restrictions imposed by the IATF.
• The movement of cargoes within, to and from the entire Luzon shall
be unhampered. For this purpose, guidelines for the accompanying
crew or personnel of transiting cargoes shall be formulated by the
Department of Transportation; and
• Land, air and sea travel of uniformed personnel for official
business, especially those transporting medical supplies, laboratory
specimens related to the COVID-19, and other humanitarian
assistance, shall be allowed.
Further, upon arrival at the ports of entry, triage will be
conducted for travelers who are coming from countries with high risk
of COVID-19 importation to the Philippines:
• Based on the Philippines’ Department of Health guidelines, these
countries include South Korea, Singapore, Australia, China,
Malaysia, Japan, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Sweden,
Belgium, Germany and the United States of America. Please refer to
the triage procedure in the image below. Please note this list is
subject to change.
• The Philippine Bureau of Immigration also implemented expanded
travel restrictions for travelers coming from, or who have transited
through Iran and Italy in the last fourteen days. They shall be
required to present a medical certificate by competent medical
authorities within the last 48 hours prior to arrival in country
certifying that they are COVID-2019 free. Exempted from these
restrictions (medical certificate requirement) are Filipino citizens
including their foreign spouse and children, holders of permanent
resident visas, and members of the diplomatic corps.
