From July 20 (Monday), all foreigners (excluding Koreans, regardless of nationality) who depart from the Philippines and arrive in Korea (including transit passenger) are required to carry the COVID-19 PCR negative certificate issued within 48 hours of the flight departure date.

In this regard, recently, there have been cases where a negative certificate has been issued by a hospital other than the embassy designated hospital and submitted it during departure procedures to be denied boarding.

Therefore, please note that if you submit a negative confirmation to the airline issued by a hospital other than the one designated by the embassy, you will not be able to board.

(Example)
If the Medical city Clark asks Green City Medical to issue and submit a negative certificate, Green City Medical is not a designated hospital, so you cannot board.

Also, according to local media such as CNN Philippines on July 24, there were cases where police caught a photocopier shop selling fake COVID-19 negative certificates for 25 to 30 pesos.
