What Is the Philippines eTravel Registration?
The Philippines eTravel system is a digital registration platform used by immigration, customs, and health authorities to collect passenger information.
Registration is required for international arrivals, including Filipino citizens and foreign visitors, as well as departing Filipino passengers.
You'll need to provide your personal information, passport details, travel itinerary, and relevant health declarations.
After registering, save your eTravel QR code to present when requested. This declaration does not replace a visa if one is required for your visit.

Essential Requirements for the eTravel Form
Have your passport and trip information available before beginning your Philippines eTravel registration. This can make the application faster and reduce the chance of having to stop midway to find missing details.
You just need the following:
- Valid passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the contemplated stay.
- Active email address: Check the address carefully before submitting.
- Travel details: Have your arrival date and relevant carrier/flight or travel information ready.
- Accommodation details: Keep the name and full address of your hotel or accommodation available.
- Credit or debit card: The Philippine government's own eTravel registration has no government application fee.
Once you have everything listed above, you can start the online application process.
Who needs to complete the Philippines eTravel?
For arrivals, eTravel generally applies to:
- Foreign passengers entering the Philippines
- Filipino passengers returning to the Philippines
- International passengers arriving by air or sea
- Children and infants traveling internationally
Departing Filipino passengers are also required to register or update their information in the eTravel system.
What is the eTravel QR code?
After successful registration, the system generates a unique QR code linked to your submitted information.
Before traveling, you should:
- Save or screenshot the QR code on your phone
- Keep it accessible during airline check-in and boarding
- Present it when requested by Philippine border authorities
- Optionally print a copy as a backup
The QR code acts as proof that your eTravel registration has been completed.
Note: Completing eTravel does not replace normal airline check-in, security, immigration, customs, or visa requirements.
When Should I Fill Out the eTravel for the Philippines?

FAQs about the Philippines eTravel
Does eTravel replace the visa for the Philippines?
Toggle faqs
No. The Philippines eTravel is not a visa and does not replace one.
It’s a digital passenger-registration system used for border control, immigration-related data, and health surveillance. Whether you also require a Philippine visa depends on factors such as your nationality, passport, and purpose or length of stay.
Is it mandatory to print the eTravel QR code?
Toggle faqs
No. You can save or screenshot the QR code on your mobile device and present it electronically. You can also print it if that is more convenient.
Saving an offline copy before leaving for the airport can be useful in case you have limited mobile data or Wi-Fi access.
Do children and infants need to register for eTravel?
Toggle faqs
Yes. The government's current requirements apply to arriving Filipino and foreign passengers and don’t provide a general age exemption for children or infants.
What is the difference between receiving a green or a red QR code?
Toggle faqs
A green QR code indicates that the information required by the eTravel system has been submitted properly and completely. Travelers receiving a green code may proceed directly to immigration inspection on arrival.
A red QR code can be issued when information is incomplete or incorrect, or when certain health-related answers require additional review. Travelers with a red QR code must undergo further Bureau of Quarantine inspection before continuing with immigration formalities.
Can I modify my eTravel details if I made a mistake?
