    It's still longer than that, I think the conclusion we reached last week was still 10 days, 6 in a facility and 4 at home.

    Hi OSS

    What are the full requirements for Brits entering Phills? A breakdown would be appreciated or a verified link. Do I need pcr test before arrival for airline, or phills entry requirements,etc? Thanks for any guidance.

    There isn't one page with everything laid out in detail.

    It's still no tourists, can only travel if a native Filipino or married to and travelling with Filipino spouse or reuniting with spouse or travelling to see Filipino children in the Philippines or returning foreign resident (I think).

    From your own link we are not on their green list so our quarantine restrictions are longer, recognition by the UK of VaxCertPH required by Philippines before they will recognise our NHS vaccination status.

    This page Approved COVID-19 vaccines and countries with approved COVID-19 proof of vaccination - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) implies that we recognise some Philippine administered vaccinations but not Sinopharm or Sinovac.

    From the above link :

    The other links regards Balikbayan and other Visa requirements are on the other threads where this is being discussed at the moment.

    So is my NHS Certificate valid on arrival, astrazenica ?

    1) 6 days quarantine and then 4 days ar home.
    2) fill in Philippines travel pass before arrival
    3) day 5 covid test at hotel
    4) 9a visa

    Is that the lot or does the airline require pcr test before leaving?

    That's the page I clipped from above but you make a good point as the link taking you there is this one which does state recognised proof of full vaccination what the Philippines have not yet acknowledged is that our recognition is equivalent of recognising their VaxCertPH, it probably is but we could do with clarification on that due to the effect it has on length of quarantine at the Philippine end.

    I think also you all need to watch the rising covid case figures in the UK , Morroco has just cancelled all UK flights in and out of Morroco others may follow suit

    Hey all,

    Do I need a PCR Test before leaving UK to transit through Singapore Changi Airport to Philippines if fully vaccinated.

    Very confusing

    Hi. If you are transiting (not leaving the airport) then you don't need a PCR test to enter the Philippines. Testing on your 5th day.

    Is that the same transiting through Singapore Airport. I believe Singapore need a PCR test 48 hours before flying?
