Travel ban on 7 countries extended

16 Jun 2021 / Philippines

The Philippines Bureau of Immigration has announced the extension of the arrival ban on 7 countries until June 30.

The ban on arriving passengers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, United Arab Emirates, and Oman shall remain until the month's end.

Those with a travel history from these countries within the last 14 days before arrival are also temporarily banned from entering.

Transiting passengers, or those who did not exit the airport or were cleared by immigration in said countries are not covered by the ban.

Arriving aliens will still undergo regular immigration inspection, and must have outbound tickets, as well as documentary proof of their purpose in the country. Improperly documented aliens are excluded and sent back to their port of origin.
