If you're a US Citizen who's banned from entering the Philippines like I am, why put yourself through a quarantine and all that red tape?  After having my flight cancelled 4 times and paying multiple times to re-book it, I gave up on visiting the Philippines altogether, I concluded the country is not going to reopen to US Travel without restrictions for another year or more. 

 

Solution; Meet in another country with no quarantine, I'm meeting my Fiance in the Maldives next week, a country that is far more deserving of my hard earned money than the Philippines is.

 

 

Please post on her experience through immigration when she leaves. It may help a lot of others who are considering the same thing.

Theirs a lot of required documentation on her part that's for sure, fortunately she's traveled to Dubai once before and she's very organized, however, there is always that one chance things don't go right, and considering my flight departs before hers does, I won't know if she made it through immigration until I arrive in Dubai,  The plan is for us to meet in Dubai and take a connecting flight to the Maldives.

Some people need to visit others in the Philippines who aren't their fiances. As you know, extended family matters a lot. Others need to take of business or property and can't do it online or through representatives. 

 

Good luck to your fiance - hopefully she doesn't have issues with exit immigration.

Well, before you fly out you should know and check the travel restrictions goin to the Philippines. We don’t come home to our motherland, risk and pay everything out of pocket just for pleasure. We come home bcoz of our family before it’s too late. 
 

Have fun on your trip! 😉

Just know too, that when she returns to Philippines, she will need to Quarantine in a controlled hotel just like any returning Filipinos.  7/10/14 days.  I think Maldives is not in green, so 10 days.  If her trip is short in Maldives, she may be asked of the reservation already.  I spent about $750 for the 10-day hotel, car service airport to hotel, RT-PCR test.  Plus a lot of prayers that my result is Negative 🙂
