The Philippines is waiving quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated visitors from countries classified on the government’s “green list.”

The Philippines, home to over 7,000 islands in Southeast Asia, is now accepting fully vaccinated visitors from countries on the “Green List”, but they must submit a negative RT-PCR test done within 72 hours of departure, rather than quarantine or an on-arrival RT-PCR test.

Meanwhile, travelers from “Yellow List” countries will be quarantined for three days instead of the previous five.

The Philippines’ Department of Tourism and the International Association of Tourism Federations said the country will reopen to international tourism soon, possibly before the New Year.
