Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, the Philippine Government and airlines that have international flights bound for Manila, Cebu and Clark, have issued precautionary measures, mandatory protocols and requirements for entry to the Philippines as issued by IATF.
Please be advised that an Overseas Filipino Worker or OFW is a person from the Philippines, holding a valid Philippine passport or Philippine travel document, and who is living and working in another country, typically on a temporary basis. This includes land-based OFWs and seafarers/sea-based OFWs. Families travelling together with at least one OFW will be considered all OFWs. Non-OFWs refer to Returning Overseas Filipinos (non-OFW students, non-OFW Balikbayan, non-OFW tourist, etc.), spouse and children of Filipinos, diplomats, foreign officials accredited by the Philippines, and eligible non-Filipino/foreign citizens with long-term visas.
