The new guidelines cover fully vaccinated former Filipino citizens with Balikbayan privilege, including their foreign spouses and/or children traveling with them to the Philippines; provided that they are not restricted nationals; and fully vaccinated citizens of the United States and of countries entitled to stay visa-free for not more than 30 days under Executive Order 408, S. 1960.
Unvaccinated foreign nationals will be denied admission into the country.
When is a foreign national considered fully-vaccinated?

What do they need to present?
- Proof of vaccination;
- A negative RT-PCR test taken within 48 hours prior to departure;
- Valid return-tickets not later than 30 days after arrival in the Philippines;
- A passport valid for at least six months; and
- Travel insurance for COVID-19 treatment costs from reputed insurers, with a minimum coverage of USD35,000.00 for the duration of their stay.

- The national/state digital certificate of the country/foreign government which has accepted VaxCertPH under a reciprocal agreement;
- The vaccination certificate issued by any of the states of the United States, whether digital or physical; or
- The vaccination certificate issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, whether digital or physical.

- Foreign children from ages 12 to 17 years of age traveling with their Filipino parent, shall follow the protocols based on their vaccination status (i.e., vaccinated or unvaccinated). If the child is unvaccinated, either parent should accompany the child during their facility-based quarantine.
