Travelers visiting for tourism, seeing friends or family, or even transiting through the Philippines (unless remaining airside) must complete the eTravel Declaration within 72 hours before arrival or departure, in line with government requirements.

What Happens Next?

Philippines eTravel Decision

Once submitted, the eTravel form is processed by the Philippine government’s online system. Travelers typically receive an official confirmation of their registration by email.

Successful Registration

When accepted, the eTravel information is electronically linked to the traveler’s passport and journey details within the government system. There is no need to print or present a separate document at the border — Philippine immigration officers can verify the registration electronically. A new eTravel form must be completed for every entry into the Philippines and must be submitted within 72 hours before arrival.

Issues or Errors

If there are problems with the eTravel registration — such as missing or inaccurate information — the authorities or airline may require you to correct or resubmit your details before boarding or on arrival. It is essential to ensure all personal, travel, and health information is accurate. Incomplete or incorrect submissions may cause delays or, in some cases, prevent entry until the form is properly completed.

Important Note

Our role is to assist travelers in completing the Philippines eTravel form accurately and on time. The review, confirmation, and use of the eTravel system are managed solely by the Philippine government.
