Philippines

We've reviewed our advice for the Philippines. We haven't changed the overall level of our advice, exercise a high degree of caution. Higher levels apply. If you're fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with at least one booster, you don't need to undergo pre-departure COVID-19 testing. If you aren't fully vaccinated with one booster, you must provide a negative COVID-19 (RT-PCR) test within 48 hours or a negative COVID-19 (RAT) test administered and certified by a health care professional within 24 hours to enter. Children may be exempt from this requirement. If you're fully vaccinated, you can enter the Philippines without a visa or quarantine, provided you meet specific requirements. Transit restrictions are in place between some International airport terminals. Follow the Philippines Department of Tourism for the latest advice. You should also confirm the rules for your airline as it may vary between airlines.

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in the Philippines overall due to crime and terrorism.
