Updated Health Protocols and Minimum Public Health Standards for Travelers to/from the Philippines
The public is advised of the following updated protocols* on vaccination certificates for travelers to and from the Philippines, in view of the lifting of the state of public health emergency throughout the Philippines:
- For International Arrivals: Presentation of vaccination status and vaccination certificate for COVID-19 is not required. All arriving international travelers are accepted regardless of their vaccination status;

- For OFWs and Seafarers: The issuance of the International Certificate of Vaccination for Prophylaxis for Yellow Fever Vaccine and other vaccination depends on the requirement of the agency/company.
Please be guided accordingly.
