USA travel to MNL and them to DPG

Anyone have an opinion on when US travel will open up?  The wife and I are looking to going to Liloy, PH (Mindanao) and don't want to deal with quarantine.

There's a report that the Balikbayan visa on arrival privilege might be available again starting Dec 7.  Stay tuned.

 

This topic might get more attention in the Philippines regional forum.

Will definitely keep my eye out for the once. 

 

My one buddy flew to MNL 3 weeks ago and had to get a COVID test on arrival and then a 14 day quarantine once he got to Dumagette .  We'll be traveling for 5 to 6 weeks, so the quarantine would be hard.

What do you mean might? It's back on the 7th. The official notice was posted by the Philippine government. Having to quarantine however, won't be stopping anytime soon.

You will have to quarantine if you come from the states. It's not going to change by then. You will also get tested, I'd suggest looking into this more. The Philippines doesn't joke around with covid.

The latest I have :  You get a approved hotel and once you arrive in Manila,  you pay around 100 bucks for a COVID test, if you pass after a couple of days you can move on to your next destination.

 

The wild card will be your next destination and how long and if they are making travelers coming in quarantine and how long and where.  One American left his province and went to another town in Philippines to extend his tourist visa and had to spend 14 days on a makeshift housing on a basketball court along with others.

 

Just be aware some place have 24 hour liqour ban, many have curfews like 8pm till 7am you can't leave your residence, and places like Davao CIty have FM pass which will only allow one person to leave  their residence for either Food or Medicine.

 

Not the best time to go right now
