Current Travel Requirements for Unvaccinated Foreign Spouse and Filipino

[Jujusmom 49]

Hello! I know this has been discussed here before but I can’t find the most current discussion here and tried researching online but most are confusing infos. I’m looking for an up to date reliable website/info to check for travel requirements for unvaccinated foreign spouse/children and filipino national traveling to Philippines.

 

Thank you in advance!

Your not getting in until you are fully vaccinated currently. Current as of October 5th,2022

 

ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS

 

• Are U.S. citizens permitted to enter?  Yes.

Entry to the Philippines:  Although travel to the Philippines is now permitted, U.S. citizens should know and comply with arrival and departure requirements as promulgated by the Philippine government , which generally include the following as a minimum:

• Being fully vaccinated, except for minor children below age 12 traveling with fully vaccinated parents who can present acceptable proof of vaccination.  Unvaccinated foreign nationals will not be allowed admission into the Philippines, and;
• Passport valid for at least six (6) months at the time of entry.

When making travel plans, check destination-specific travel requirements to avoid unnecessary delays.

Foreign nationals who are fully vaccinated with at least one booster shot are no longer required to provide a negative RT-PCR test, provided they present proof of vaccination along with their valid passport; see IATF Resolution 168  for more information.

Foreign spouses and/or children of Filipino citizens and former Filipino citizens with balikbayan privilege under Republic Act No. 9174, including their foreign spouse and/or children who: (i) are not balikbayans in the own right and (ii) are traveling with them to the Philippines — who are unvaccinated, partially vaccinated and do not have boosters, are subject to quarantine upon arrival.  You have the option to choose your quarantine facility.  A list of quarantine facilities is available on the BOQ website .

The Philippine government requires all arriving passengers to complete a BOQ e-Health Declaration Card (e-HDC) .  This includes children.  You can register up to three days in advance of your departure for the Philippines through the BOQ’s One Health Pass webpage .  Remember to save a copy of the transaction number and QR code, which will be required by Philippine immigration authorities.

They can get in if they quarantine. It's literally in your copy and paste. We are in the same boat and we refuse to waste time on quarantine. So we have been doing domestic traveling for the time being. And my wife's parents will probably get immigrant visas before the Philippines govt gets with the times.

Thanks for this! I checked their website too and just like the Loren Y’s reply it still shows we can’t get in.

Thanks for your response! This is what I know but the official websites mentioned above by other helpful members don’t mention this enough on their website. At least I know now I’m not imagining things that a 5-day quarantine and negative test is still required to be allowed in Ph. 
 

We are doing the same too! It sucks to not be able to go home yet but quarantine will waste most of my husbands time off so we are just waiting it out so we are just traveling domestic. 
 

 

Thank you for the replies everyone! God bless you all!
