Updated Advisory on Validation of Vaccination Certificate/ Card of Philippine-bound OFWs
16 October 2021- Further to the previous Advisories on the subject, the Philippine Embassy in Seoul wishes to inform the Filipino community that POLO is no longer required to validate the Vaccination Certificate/Card of OFWs who are travelling to the Philippines.
This is pursuant to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) Resolution Nos. 144-A and B, series of 2021.
Regardless of vaccination status, all returning OFWs are still required to register online through ONEHEALTHPASS PORTAL via https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC/ where copy of the vaccination certificate can be uploaded if the OFW has already been vaccinated.
For information and guidance. Thank you. END
