Update: PH eases Arrival requirements starting April 1
The Department of Tourism announced on Friday, March 11, 2022, that the IATF has lifted the arrival quota for unvaccinated passengers in all ports of entry in the country starting April 1.
Moreover, foreign and returning Filipinos are now allowed to present a negative result of a laboratory-based antigen test upon their arrival in the Philippines, instead of a negative RT-PCR test result taken 48 hours prior to departure from their point of origin.
Visa issuances by Philippine embassies and consulates will also resume on April 1.
“This latest development opens the country to all fully vaccinated tourists from all countries, and means the country’s tourism industry is well on its way to recovery,” Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat said in a statement.
