reader Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 From The Star MANILA (AFP): The Philippines will re-open to fully vaccinated tourists from most countries on Feb 10 and lift quarantine requirements, officials said Friday (Jan 28), nearly two years after closing its borders to contain the coronavirus. A previous plan to welcome back tourists from Dec 1 was suspended after the emergence of the hyper-contagious Omicron variant that has since ripped through the Philippines. Friday's announcement allows for the resumption of visa-free travel for short visits by nationals from the 157 countries who already enjoyed permit-free entry to the Philippines before the pandemic began. Fully vaccinated tourists from countries on the list will need to test negative for Covid-19 shortly before flying to the Philippines and will not have to quarantine on arrival. https://www.thestar.com.my/aseanplus/aseanplus-news/2022/01/28/philippines-to-re-open-to-vaccinated-foreign-tourists-on-feb-10 10tazione 1 Quote
