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.

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.
