02、Philippines repatriation process

In order to facilitate your understanding, I have briefly summarized the return process for you.

I. Before boarding

*If you have not been diagnosed and are not a close contact, you need to take: 2 times nucleic acid test → apply for health code → check-in

Step 1：The first nucleic acid test will be conducted within 48 hours before boarding, and a negative certificate will be obtained from the designated testing institution.

Step 2: Take the 2nd nucleic acid test within 24 hours before boarding and obtain a negative certificate.

Step 3: Apply for a health code

Step 4: Check-in with the "blue" health code and the negative antigen test result.

*If you are a close contact.

Anyone who has had unprotected contact with confirmed cases or asymptomatic infected persons, people with suspected symptoms, i.e. people who have tested positive for nucleic acid, people with "indeterminate" nucleic acid test results before boarding, people with fever, cough, malaise, respiratory discomfort before boarding, etc., are required to undergo five days of health monitoring, and the monitoring period is completed and If there is no abnormality during the monitoring period, the requirements for subsequent flight testing are the same as those for ordinary passengers.

*If you (have) been diagnosed with.

1. After 2 weeks of recovery, the applicant must send a negative nucleic acid test certificate issued by a legally qualified local testing institute (24 hours or more between tests, cross-testing by different testing institutes) and his or her passport/travel document page to the Embassy's pre-screening email address (chinaembassy_ph@163.com), which will be reviewed by the Embassy staff.

The subject of the email should be labeled as "Name + Passport/Travel Document Number + Confirmation of Cure".

2. After the applicant has received the email reply from the embassy, "Passed the confirmation of recovery", he/she can start the health monitoring and pre-trip testing, and apply for the health code according to the requirements of the corresponding documents for the general personnel coming to China.

For the list of nucleic acid testing institutions, please check: http://ph.china-embassy.org/chn/lsfw/t1802803.htm

Warm Tips.

1、Two nucleic acid tests must be done at different institutions designated by the Embassy

2. If you are a Chinese company project staff in the Philippines (including central/state/ private enterprises), you need to be quarantined at home 10 days in advance before doing the nucleic acid test, and the company will issue the "Quarantine Management Commitment Letter".

2, waiting for the plane

1, into the airport hall, according to their scheduled international flight number, and then find the airport counter for their own boarding pass and baggage check (for the boarding pass staff will check your health code, it is recommended to fill out carefully)

2、After checking your boarding pass and luggage, go through the security check and enter the departure hall, and go to the window if you have not applied for customs clearance and visa renewal (personally, I recommend that you apply for visa renewal and customs clearance before entering the airport to avoid unnecessary troubles.)

3, after all the procedures can enter the waiting hall to wait.

3. Take off to return home

1、Before the plane takes off, board the plane in batches according to the seat number in turn.

2、After boarding, you need to search through WeChat applet: Customs Passenger Fingertip Service and fill in the entry health declaration. After filling in the QR code will be generated, you need to take a screenshot and save it, after arriving at the destination, there will be airport personnel to scan the code. (This code is very important, do not understand where you can consult the aircraft flight attendants do not fill in blindly).

3, the aircraft arrived at the destination, the border police will enter the aircraft to take away some illegal personnel by name. Subsequent passengers need to get off the plane in groups.
4、After landing, the airport personnel will guide into the channel, to the first border guard, you need to show your passport and the screenshot saved in front of the entry health declaration two-dimensional code.

5、After completing the code, the airport staff will guide you to receive the required statements and materials for the nucleic acid test (there will be staff to guide you throughout the process,) nucleic acid testing is essential, and the process of doing so is not so painful.

6, after completing the nucleic acid test through the channel to the customs office, customs staff will ask questions, such as: when to leave the country and the purpose of the exit (not too detailed, the passport blackout is also rare).

7, after leaving the customs, remember to pick up the luggage. After the staff guide into the hotel arrangement, the staff will temporarily receive your passport, enter the hall, you need to scan the code to fill in: airport entry passenger information two-dimensional code (after filling in the screenshot to save), in batches by car into the isolation of the hotel, after arriving at the hotel will return the passport.

8、Entering the quarantine hotel, the epidemic prevention staff will check in after measuring the body temperature.

Related policy explanation :

Final destination province on the implementation of 7 + 3 in the province where the entry isolation, the final destination is not in the province where the first point of entry, consult their own community whether to receive; receive then 7 days after the end of isolation to return to the community (call the community to issue a certificate of acceptance); do not receive then inform the hotel behind the 3 days to continue the hotel isolation in line with the conditions of 7 + 3.

Home can meet the conditions of home isolation.

1, the requirements of each place is different, some cities require that they must be alone, some cities and family members together is also possible.

2, the community where your hometown agrees to receive, and give you a community acceptance certificate, and will send a car to your hometown high-speed rail station or airport to pick you up.

3, the isolated hotel where you are located is a perfect system of closed-loop delivery to the plane / to the high-speed rail.

The above 3 points also vary because different isolated hotels, different cities, different community requirements, in short, you need to take the initiative to contact the local community, to understand the actual local requirements, and then communicate with the hotel.

You can search for "State Council Client" in WeChat or Alipay, and then enter the small program. You can see [Prevention and control policies around the country] on the home page of the State Council client, and then click into it to inquire about the implementation of an entry and prevention policy around the country.

If there are changes in the policy, the latest policy will be implemented.

05、Note for returning to the Philippines

1, before returning home to watch their own ticket date, check the flight required boarding requirements (health code and nucleic acid test report required for charter flights) from the airline to ask for an itinerary (itinerary is very important, enter the airport and highway exit will check).

2, do a good job of customs clearance and visa renewal.

3, do a good job of personal protection, masks, protective clothing, glasses, gloves, disinfectant alcohol.

4, you need to arrive at the airport 3 hours before the departure of the plane can (too early into the airport, you need to get off at the outside of the airport, it is best to travel in a group, many Filipino children will ask you for tips or even rob you, especially girls are best to travel in a group.

06、Philippines repatriation FAQ

Can I fly without a passport and only have a travel document?

Yes, a travel document can be used as a passport.

What will the customs ask when I return home with a travel permit?

The only difference between a travel pass and a passport is that a travel pass is valid for two years and cannot be transferred to a third country in the Philippines but can only be returned to the Philippines.

How long does it take for the embassy to complete the health code audit?

Once the test report is successfully uploaded, the embassy will complete the review as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours. Due to the huge amount of work involved in the review, there is no expedited service for the Health Code application. Please be patient within 24 hours after uploading the report and do not make inquiries by phone, weibo or email, as this will affect the progress of the review.

What is the name requirement when filling out the Nucleic Health Code application?

Please fill in your Chinese name when filling out the Nucleic Acid Code application. If the spelling of your foreign name on the test report does not match your Chinese name, please upload the passport page when you upload the Nucleic Acid Test Report so that the Embassy staff can check it.

How long is the health code valid and how is it calculated?

The validity period starts from the date of issuance of the negative nucleic acid test certificate and is automatically assigned in conjunction with the flight. Applicants should fill in the nucleic acid code test certification time based on the date the test report was issued, not the time they went for the test.

07、Notes for returning to your home country with a travel permit

1, after the Chinese Embassy for a travel permit is an empty book, 100% is not able to return to the country, because the Philippine Customs is not able to find any information about you when leaving the country, will think you entered illegally, serious cases will also confiscate your travel permit.

2、After you get your travel permit, you need to go to the immigration office to get your entry stamp, airline certificate, renewal record, etc. (You can ask EasyGo International professional customer service to help you with this!)

3, after the completion of the travel permit stamp whether you need to apply for visa renewal, whether the visa is overdue, whether you need to apply for ecc clearance, as well as with the travel permit back to the country whether the same name blacklist situation exists and other issues have to take into account.

*These issues need to be handled with care, otherwise it will probably result in not leaving the country, or worse!
