What COVID-19 Precautions Are in Place?

As of 2025, there are no longer any COVID-19-related restrictions for entering the Philippines or attending 3D ACADEMY. The pandemic is officially over in terms of international travel policies, and both government and school regulations have returned to pre-COVID conditions. However, we understand that some students and families may still have lingering concerns. That’s why we’re providing this detailed update on what to expect when coming to study at 3D ACADEMY in 2025.

1. No COVID-19 Requirements to Enter the Philippines

The Philippine government has completely lifted all COVID-19 entry requirements. This means:

• No vaccination proof is needed

• No PCR or antigen testing is required, either before departure or after arrival

• No quarantine upon entry

• No health declaration forms, tracing apps, or COVID insurance

Whether you are vaccinated or not, you are welcome to enter the Philippines freely, just like before the pandemic.

This policy applies to all nationalities and all visa types, including student visas, tourist visas, and special study permits.

2. Life Has Returned to Normal on Campus

At 3D ACADEMY, we have resumed 100% normal operations:

• Face masks are optional, not required

• Social distancing rules have been lifted

• Classroom capacity is back to normal, with group classes, one-on-one sessions, and electives running smoothly

• Dormitories and shared spaces are fully open

• Cultural activities, weekend trips, and city excursions are all available again

In short, you can enjoy a full study abroad experience without pandemic restrictions.

3. What If I Still Want to Be Cautious?

We understand that some students may feel more comfortable taking extra precautions. At 3D ACADEMY, we respect each student’s individual choice. If you wish to:

• Wear a face mask during class or in public

• Carry personal hand sanitizer

• Request private dining or isolated seating

• Have a single room for added privacy

—we will do our best to accommodate your preferences.

We believe in a balanced approach: there is no longer a need for strict public rules, but we will always support personal safety and comfort.

4. Cleanliness and Hygiene Are Still Prioritized

Even though COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, we continue to maintain high hygiene standards across the campus, including:

• Regular cleaning of classrooms, dormitories, and bathrooms

• Ventilation of common areas

• Hand sanitizers provided in public spaces

• Proper food safety practices in the cafeteria

These are not specifically for COVID-19—they are just part of our ongoing commitment to student health and comfort.

5. On-Campus Medical Support Is Always Available

If you ever feel unwell—whether it’s COVID-related or not—you are not alone.

3D ACADEMY provides:

• Daily on-campus doctor visits on weekdays

• Multilingual support staff who can assist you with medical concerns

• Hospital accompaniment service in case you need advanced care

• Cashless treatment options if you have proper travel insurance

While COVID is no longer a major concern in 2025, we are still fully prepared to help students handle any health-related issue, from colds and fevers to more serious conditions.

6. What Happens If I Get Sick During My Stay?

Even though the risk of COVID-19 is now very low, we understand that students may still catch a cold, flu, or stomach bug. If you experience symptoms that make you uncomfortable—such as fever, fatigue, or coughing—you can:

• Speak to our on-site Japanese, Chinese, or Arabic-speaking staff

• Request a consultation with our visiting doctor

• Visit a local clinic or hospital with staff accompaniment

• Use your travel insurance to receive treatment without cash payments (in most cases)

If COVID is suspected (though this is rare now), testing is still available at local clinics. We will never force quarantine, but we may suggest a few days of rest in your room, depending on your condition.

Our approach is supportive, not punitive—we focus on care and recovery, not enforcement.

7. The Local Situation in the Philippines (2025)

The situation in Cebu and the Philippines as a whole has fully normalized. Here’s what you can expect:

• No mask mandates in public

• Restaurants, malls, gyms, and tourist attractions are open as usual

• No social distancing rules in transportation or public events

• Vaccination is widely available, though no longer required

The general population is back to regular daily life. For most people, COVID is now seen in the same category as seasonal flu—manageable and no longer a public health emergency.

8. How 3D ACADEMY Handled COVID-19 in the Past

Although restrictions are no longer in place, it may help you to know how 3D ACADEMY responded responsibly and effectively during the height of the pandemic. In 2020–2022, we:

• Closed the campus temporarily in line with government policies

• Shifted to online classes to support continued learning

• Implemented strict health protocols upon reopening (distancing, masks, testing)

• Supported students who remained in the Philippines with housing and medical care

• Worked closely with embassies and consulates for student support

This shows our long-standing commitment to student safety and well-being, not just during the pandemic, but always.

9. Do I Still Need COVID-Specific Travel Insurance?

In most cases, COVID-related insurance coverage is no longer required. However, we still recommend purchasing general travel insurance that includes:

• Outpatient and inpatient medical care

• Emergency treatment and ambulance services

• Cashless payment options

• Basic coverage for COVID or other respiratory illnesses (just in case)

We also remind students that credit card insurance is not enough in most situations, especially if you need hospital care. Please choose a proper overseas insurance policy before coming to the Philippines.
