移民局于3月13日星期五宣布，为因中东持续紧张局势导致航班取消的外国国民提供签证宽免。这允许签证于2月28日到期的外国人无费用或罚款留在菲律宾直至2026年4月1日。移民局局长弗雷德里克·维达称，这是政府在全球社会经济和政治动荡期间提供支持的方式。
3月13日，移民局（BI）发布了一项部门命令，为受美国和以色列对伊朗发动打击后中东暴力升级导致航班取消影响的外国国民提供签证延期。移民局局长弗雷德里克·维达的命令允许签证于2月28日到期的外国人合法留在菲律宾直至2026年4月1日，无需额外费用、罚款或处罚。维达表示：“这是菲律宾政府的一种简单方式，不仅向直接受中东持续敌对行动影响的人伸出援手，而且是在这一社会经济和政治动荡的艰难时期，向全世界表达支持和声援的同情姿态。”以色列-伊朗冲突已波及全球经济，包括德黑兰封锁霍尔木兹海峡进行报复后燃料价格飙升。在菲律宾，这已导致燃料价格创纪录新高，尽管政府保证国家没有直接威胁。分析人士担心战争可能延长，因为双方均无降级迹象。
