CALOOCAN CITY, (PIA) -- The Bureau of Immigration (BI) said starting February 10, it will allow the entry of foreign visitors who are fully vaccinated from countries that are permitted visa-free travel, including the United States.
The BI issued the advisory even after the US Centers for Disease and Control Prevention discouraged travel to the Philippines due to the “very high level of COVID-19” in the country.
The US CDC added the Philippines on its list of countries under “Level Four: Very High,” its highest tier on its travel health notices, that advise “avoid travel to this destination.”
In an advisory, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said that in compliance with the resolution from the IATF, fully vaccinated nationals of non-visa-required countries will be allowed to enter the Philippines.
A total of 157 countries are considered visa free, including the United States of America, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada, UK, Malaysia, and Singapore. (PIA-NCR)
