IATF Resolution No. 2
Travel to the United States from the Philippines
As of 12 June 2022, the CDC rescinded its Order requiring all airline or other aircraft passengers to show a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 to board flights to the United States from a foreign country. CDC’s Order requiring proof of vaccination for non-U.S. citizen non-immigrants to travel to the United States is still in effect. All non-immigrant, non-U.S. citizen air travelers to the United States are required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding. This requirement does not apply to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders), or immigrants. For more information, see CDC regulations on international travel.
The CDC will consider exceptions to COVID-19-related vaccination and testing requirements on an extremely limited basis. Click here for more information on how to apply for an exception through the U.S. Embassy in Manila. Please see the CDC website for information about exceptions to, exemptions from, and other details of the COVID-19-related vaccination and testing requirements.
For more details and updates, visit the website of the US Embassy in the Philippines.
Note for all travelers: Travelers transiting through other countries will need to check the travel restrictions regarding that country and are recommended to further inquire with their airline carrier of choice.
