Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Jaime Morente announced that they will implement the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) Resolution No. 89 allowing the re-entry of certain foreign nationals to the country.
The resolution allows the re-entry of 9(e) and 9(g) visa holders who left the country starting Dec. 17.
In an advisory, Morente clarified that not all 9(e) and 9(g) visa holders are allowed to return, following the revised ruling.
“Those who have left prior to Dec. 17 are still not allowed to enter the country,” said Morente.
The move would allow these foreign nationals to return to their countries for the holidays and subsequently re-enter the Philippines after.
