1Overview
The Philippines eTravel registration is a mandatory electronic registration that combines immigration, health and customs declarations into one filing. It is not a visa and does not grant entry, which depends on your visa or visa-free status.
A new registration is needed for each trip, covering both arrival and departure.
Who needs it
- Effectively all arriving and departing travellers need it, including visa-free tourists, visa holders, Filipino citizens, children and crew.
- Exempt: foreign diplomats and dignitaries, delegation members, and holders of diplomatic or official service passports.
- Transit is generally not covered if you stay in the international transit area, but it is mandatory if you must enter the country, for example to re-check bags or change terminals.
- Requirements may vary by nationality.
- Filipino citizens register for both arrival and departure, so a round trip means two registrations.
2Requirements
- PassportValid for at least 6 months from arrival.
- Travel detailsFlight and accommodation details.
- Email addressA valid email address.
Important to know
- A mistake in the form can produce a red code, meaning manual document verification or health screening on arrival, typically adding 5 to 15 minutes; it does not mean denial.
- A green code means the express lane.
- Most airlines deny boarding without a valid QR code.
- Arriving without one means completing it on-site, causing delays or missed connections.
