Update December 14, 2022: This concession is no longer available.
The Philippine government introduced a concession that allows fully-vaccinated Ukrainian nationals to enter the Philippines without a visa by presenting proof of COVID-19 vaccination, a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result taken within 48 hours prior to departure or a negative antigen test taken within 24 hours prior to departure from the country of origin and COVID-19 travel insurance with minimum coverage of USD 35,000. Although fully-vaccinated travelers can enter the Philippines quarantine-free, they must still self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms for seven days from arrival and report to the local government unit if any symptoms are observed. Previously, Ukrainian nationals had to obtain an entry visa to enter the Philippines.
