Immigration Consequences of Being Blacklisted

Foreign nationals whose names are listed in the Bureau of Immigration (BI)’s blacklist system are prohibited from entering the Philippines. If they are already in the country and unaware that they are included in the Blacklist Order, they will be deported.

According to the Philippine Immigration Act or Commonwealth Act No. 613, foreign nationals are barred from entering the country if they are identified as:

  • Sex offenders
  • Violators of Philippine laws
  • Criminally convicted
  • Undocumented
  • Supporters of subversive acts

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. Being blacklisted has an effect on international mobility, job opportunities, and travel plans.
