The Philippine government has allowed the reentry to the country of foreign nationals as long as they have valid and existing visas starting last Thursday.
Based on Resolution No. 89 of the Inter-agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, foreign nationals will be allowed to reenter the Philippines subject to the following conditions – valid and existing visa on the date of arrival, with pre-booked quarantine facility, with pre-booked COVID-19 testing at a laboratory operating at the airport, subject to the maximum capacity of inbound passengers at the port and date of entry.
The IATF has ordered the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to issue the guidelines on the reentry of foreign nationals.
The Commissioner of Immigration will have the “exclusive prerogative to decide on waiver or recall of exclusion orders for the above foreign nationals, including other foreign nationals who have entered the Philippines by virtue of Inter-Agency Task Force resolutions.” (Argyll Geducos)
