Travelling to PH from Oman? Here’s what you need to know

Fully vaccinated Filipinos from Oman can finally fly back home without having to undergo facility-based quarantine, starting today, November 16, 2021.

Oman has been added to the Philippines’ green list, IATF announced on Friday.

Here are the guidelines under the Philippines’ Covid protocol for green-list countries:

Fully Vaccinated Individuals

  • For Filipinos
    • Option 1: Facility-based quarantine until the release of a negative RT-PCR test taken in the quarantine facility upon arrival; or
    • Option 2: When a negative RT-PCR test was taken within 72 hours prior to departure from the country of origin, no facility-based quarantine shall be required but the passenger is enjoined to self-monitor for any symptoms until the fourteenth (14th) day with the first day being the dare of arrival.
  • For Foreign Nationals
    • A negative RT-PCR test shall be required to be taken within 72 hours prior to departure from the country of origin. Upon arrival, no facility-based quarantine will be further required but the passenger is enjoined to self-monitor for any symptoms until the fourteenth (14th) day with the first day being the date of arrival.

For unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or individuals whose vaccination status cannot be independently validated, and those vaccinated but failed to comply with the above test-before-travel requirements:

  • For Filipinos
    • Facility-based quarantine until the release of a negative RT-PCR test taken on the fifth (5th).
