Flying to Philippines soon. Need help.

[AmericanNomad 16]

I will be flying to the Philippines in a couple of weeks with Philippine Airlines on a one-way ticket. Can someone tell me if I am missing anything?

 

- Sign up one health pass
- Bring covid vaccine card
- Dummy onward ticket. What should I use for this? I've seen some people use onwardticket.com.

I am fully vaccinated with 1 booster. So I do not need negative covid test right?

Travel insurance is not required either right?

I have a one-way ticket because I don't know when I want to come back to the US and I am planning to extend my stay at the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines.

Buy a cheap flight to Hong Kong that's refundable.  That's generally how I've done it.  I've done this directly through AirAsia - In the past I'd see tickets ~$50 (I don't even refund these anymore, I just toss them lol) but I'm sure the price has gone up lately.

I don't know if they're using the health pass stuff, I didn't need it at all but that was last year.  Definitely bring the vaccine card.  I'm not sure if you need the negative covid test, I know you don't going to the US, but I'd guess you do require one coming here.  They still have mask mandates in effect and have been talking about doing some lockdown stuff again.

Travel insurance is no longer required luckily as of May

According to this: https://www.philippineairlines.com/en/ph/home/covid-19/arrivingintheph

 

It says a negative covid test isn't required if you are fully vaccinated with at least 1 booster. Otherwise it is required.

It also says you have to sign up for One Health Pass 48 hours prior to departure.

 

As for the onward ticket, I would rather use this site if someone can confirm it will work. https://onwardticket.com/

I suggest to buy a return ticket with flex date.
