MANILA, Philippines — Fifty-four countries have lifted inbound border restrictions on Filipino travelers as of yesterday, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said.
The 54 countries now allow the entry of Filipinos subject to medical protocols such as testing and quarantine upon arrival as well as flight availability.
The countries include the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Guam, Cambodia, Laos, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and United Arab Emirates.
The DFA said over 130 nations remain closed to tourists.
Countries that have imposed travel ban on tourists were Canada, Australia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, China, Malaysia, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Entry to these nations is subject to exemptions.
While travel for leisure is now an option amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the DFA is advising Filipino travelers to check requirements set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) and implemented by the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
The DFA also advised travelers to always check ahead of travel dates with their airlines before departure or before booking a ticket as the information provided in infographics could change at any time.
