Traveling to El Nido Palawan in 2022

 Traveling to El Nido Palawan in 2022

Something to note

- Manila was on Alert Level 2 when we traveled to Palawan. 

Primary Requirements

• Approved S-PASS / Travel Coordination Permit
• Negative Antigen Test Result (taken 24 hours before check-in to your flight to Palawan)
• RT-PCR is needed if you're not vaccinated
• Vaccination Card or Vaccination Certificate

Other Document Requirements

• Plane Tickets
• Hotel Accommodations
• Valid ID

S-PASS

This is fairly simple. 

1. Visit their website and create an account.
2. Click the APPLY PERMIT on the Are you Traveling? section.
3. Key in your Current Location. Key in El Nido in the "Where are you going?" part
1. If you are Flying into Palawan via Puerto Princesa, you still need to select El Nido since it's your final destination
4. It should display to you the requirements that you need. 
1. The requirements that I listed are for the time I traveled. You need to double-check the requirements on this part in case restrictions change.
5. Since I was required to submit a Travel Coordination Permit, I  applied at the bottom of the page.
6. I submitted the Negative Antigen, Plane Tickets, Hotel Accommodations, and Vaccination Cards as my documents.
7. Once you receive your Approved S-PASS/ Travel Coordination Permit, you are good to go.

Negative Antigen Test Result

Home Antigen Kit will not work. Make sure you get your Antigen test at an accredited clinic and they should be able to provide you with the certificate/documentation afterward.

• I got my Antigen Test at TPSN. Fairly Cheap. But their website is crappy.

Vaccination Certificate

You can get your Vaccination Certificate here. If it's not available, just bring your vaccination card.

Pro Tip

Save everything in your phone. They will check this every time!
