What are the Consequences of Being a Blacklist?
After arriving at a Philippine airport, foreign nationals who are forbidden from entering the country and who receive Black List Orders (BLO) are denied to enter the country. On the other hand, foreign nationals who are unaware that they are on the BLO list may have to board their next flight back home.
The foreign nationals who violate the Philippine law and are subsequently deported are automatically reported in the Bureau of Immigration (BI) system. In contrast, foreign embassies based in the Philippines typically report foreign nationals with criminal histories or those who are wanted in their home countries. BLOs are issued after the aforementioned foreign embassies notify the BI of the information.
Furthermore, if an immigrant is already in the Philippines, he/she is automatically added to a blacklist and will be deported. If not, he/she will be listed on a blacklist. These individuals are considered threats or liabilities to the country. In this regard, the Bureau of Immigration may decide to add individuals to a blacklist at its discretion.
In addition, travel restrictions and conflicts acquiring foreign visas can result from being blacklisted in the Philippines. It might have an effect on international mobility, job opportunities, and travel plans.
