Travel in the New Normal: Bound for Siargao Island Requirements


1. A Negative RT-PCR Result


For cheaper alternative, we opted for RT-PCR (Saliva) from Red Cross Philippines. Advanced booking via https://redcross.org.ph/covid19/saliva-test/ is required a day before the date of scheduled testing. The result will be out in 24 hours and should be within 48-72 hours prior to flight, so pick your scheduled date properly. We chose the SM Megamall drive thru for the location; it was more convenient and faster.

2. Flight Details


Self-explanatory though but you have to keep this handy as this is needed as a part of requirements to bet sent to Siargao Island’s Local Government Unit.

Siargao Airport

We decided to spend our first 2 nights at Tarzan's House. This is the Deck area for in-house guests.

3. Confirmed 2-night DOT-Accredited Accommodation


Good thing is, the lgu only requires a 2-DOT accredited hotel or resort booking. If you are planning to stay longer, book a 2-stay stay first and then look for a cheaper option such as homestay or hostel. For list of accredited accommodation, check Siargao Tourism Assistance Center Facebook Page, https://web.facebook.com/Siargao-Tourism-Assistance-Center-125025018174348.

4. Valid ID


A valid id such as SSS UMID, Driver’s License, Passport, among others as this is also needed as a part of requirements to bet sent to Siargao Island’s Local Government Unit.
