MySejahtera cert now recognised in Philippines

Feb 15, 2022

Malaysians are now allowed to enter the Philippines using the COVID-19 vaccination certificate on MySejahtera.

Travellers from the Philippines can also come into Malaysia with their respective cert.

Wisma Putra says this is after the two governments reached an agreement to mutually recognize the certs as proof of vaccination.

This, after seven Malaysians were initially denied entry into the Philippines due to authorities earlier not recognizing our cert.
