Dubai: Filipinos who want to visit Oman for 14 days without a visa will not need to show a certificate saying they do not have HIV. This is because Oman has changed its policy, and the Philippine government is happy about it.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said that Oman does not require this certificate from Filipinos who want to visit the country without a visa. This makes it easier for people to go to Oman.

In April, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said it had asked officials to change this rule. Omani officials said that only Filipinos who wanted to visit Oman without a visa needed to show this certificate. Filipinos who were working in Oman did not need to show it.
Filipinos With Work Visas Were Not Affected
The Embassy of Oman had said that Filipinos who were working in Oman did not need to show this certificate. They told workers that they did not need to worry about this rule.
The Embassy of Oman also said that they were thinking about changing this rule. The Philippine government was hopeful that it could resolve this issue by talking to each other.
Philippines and Oman Have Good Relations
This decision will help more people travel between the Philippines and Oman. Many Filipinos work in Oman in jobs like healthcare, construction and hospitality.
