Philippines

To curb the spread of COVID-19, General Community Quarantine (GCQ) is in place for Manila. Cebu has been placed under the stricter Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ). Other regions of the Philippines are under forms of GCQ, Modified GCQ or Modified ECQ. If you travel to the Philippines, you'll be subject to COVID-19 rapid testing (RT-PCR) and quarantined in a government facility at your own cost. If you’re in the Philippines and wish to return to Australia, more commercial options are becoming available and transit hubs such as Hong Kong are starting to re-open. Philippines Airlines, Qatar Airways and ANA are offering flights to Australia either directly or via other locations. Follow the Australian Ambassador's social media and check the embassy website for latest information.

We now advise you to:

Do not travel to the Philippines.
