eTravel is a travel declaration, not a visa

The Philippines eTravel system is an electronic travel declaration used for international arrivals and departures. It does not replace a visa when one is required and does not guarantee permission to enter or leave.

The official website is etravel.gov.ph. The Philippine government states that official registration is free of charge.

Information to prepare

The exact fields can change, but travelers should generally have the following ready:

  • Valid passport and personal details
  • Contact information
  • Arrival or departure date
  • Flight or cruise details
  • Address or accommodation information when requested
  • Health and customs declaration information when applicable

One registration per traveler and trip

Each traveler should have a registration that matches the current trip and passport. Review names, dates and document numbers before generating the QR code.
