I have a few class constants in my entity class, e.g.:

class Entity {
    const TYPE_PERSON = 0;
    const TYPE_COMPANY = 1;
}

In normal PHP I often do if($var == Entity::TYPE_PERSON) and I would like to do this kind of stuff in Twig. Is it possible?

Just to save your time. If you need to access class constants under namespace, use 

{{ constant('Acme\\DemoBundle\\Entity\\Demo::MY_CONSTANT') }}
