The Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT) is ensuring that tourism stakeholders implement the safety protocols and series of precautionary measures set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Department of Health (DOH), and is promoting habits that the public can adapt to contain the spread of the COVID-19.

The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) has given the Department of Tourism (DOT) a SafeTravels Stamp in recognition of its adoption of “health and hygiene global standardized protocols” that will ensure safe travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SafeTravels is the stamp of approval given by the international organization to certify compliance with its global health standards to allow for safe travels.

WHO CAN VISIT THE PHILIPPINES

Fully-vaccinated tourists from all countries, including their children, can visit the Philippines starting April 1, 2022.

You are considered fully vaccinated when you have received the 2nd dose in a two-dose series or a single dose vaccine more than 14 days prior to the date of departure from the country of origin.

The vaccine used must be one that is authorized by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the World Health Organization (WHO). Children below 12 years old, regardless of vaccination status, can also travel to the country. They will follow the protocol for the accompanying fully-vaccinated foreign parent.

Starting April 1, 2022, there will be no limit to the number of international passengers arriving at all ports of entry in the country. The resumption of visa issuances by Philippine embassies and consulate will also start on the same day.
