IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? The Philippines has expanded travel restrictions to and from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau because of the coronavirus.
What does the change mean? Foreign nationals will not be able to travel to and enter the Philippines from Mainland China or the Special Administrative Regions. Additionally, Filipinos are banned from traveling to the aforementioned regions. Exempt nationals traveling from these regions will be subject to quarantine.
Analysis & Comments: Employers should note the temporary travel ban and reconsider filing immigration applications for workers from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau until the ban is lifted. Deloitte will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as they become available.
