The Philippines accepts a limited number of Afghan migrants applying for U.S. visas.
The Philippines temporarily accepts a limited number of Afghans who are applying for U.S. visas.
This hosting is still under discussion and negotiation between the two governments based in Manila and Washington, and the exact timing and number of people to be accepted have not yet been determined.
With this decision by Manila, which may host thousands of Muslim refugees, there was initially opposition in the Philippines for security reasons, where the majority of the population is Catholic.
A spokesperson for the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said that each applicant must first obtain a Philippine visa and undergo a medical examination in Afghanistan.
