eTravel: Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System

#BOCDigitalization | The eTravel Customs System serves as a digital data collection platform for both travelers and crew members arriving in and departing from the Philippines. The primary features of this web portal include the Bureau of Customs’ Electronic Customs Baggage and Currency Declaration interface, aimed at improving border control, bolstering health surveillance, and facilitating economic data analysis. The BOC is set to initiate its pilot implementation at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Clark International Airport.

How to Accomplish eTRAVEL Form for Philippine Departure and Arrival

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

What is eTravel?

The eTravel form is an online form used to collect personal and travel information from passengers entering and exiting the Philippines for the purpose of immigration, border control, data analysis, and health surveillance. It serves as your departure/arrival card, health declaration, and contact tracing form.

It was first implemented at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce physical contact between the passengers and airport personnel, replacing the traditional paper departure cards. Today, no more pandemic, but it has remained in use.

Who are required to accomplish the eTravel form?

Most travelers are required to complete and submit the form, including the following:

• arriving Filipinos and foreign nationals
• departing Filipinos

Adults and children alike falling under these two categories must submit an eTravel form. That covers most travelers.

I say “most” because, as you can see, it does not include departing foreigners. The following are also exempted from submitting eTravel:

• foreign diplomats and dependents
• foreign dignitaries and members of delegation
• 9(e) visa holders
• holders of diplomatic and official/service passport

The eTravel form must be completed and submitted as early as 72 hours (3 days) before your departure from the Philippines or expected arrival time in the Philippines.

If you’re traveling with family, you can also complete this form on behalf of your family members.

How to Create an eTravel Account

Whether you’re outbound or inbound traveler, the first step is to create an account, if you don’t have one yet. You can do so in two ways:

• the official eTravel website: etravel.gov.ph
• the official eGovPH app: Android , iOS (Apple)

If you have traveled internationally and submitted an eTravel form before 2024, it doesn’t mean that you automatically have an account. Prior to 2024, creating an account was not a requirement. One could simply accomplish the form and submit without having to sign up for an account. However, in early 2024, this has become mandatory. Don’t worry. It does feel like a lot of work in the beginning, but it will make your subsequent submissions a breeze because, unlike before, the system is now able to save your personal details and automatically fill in some of the fields with pre-saved data.

If you don’t have an account yet, here’s how:

• Visit the etravel.gov.ph/authentication . This is the official sign-up page. Make sure you’re on the right website.
• Enter a valid email address. Make sure it’s correct because the system will be sending a one-time password (OTP) to this email address.
• Enter the OTP. Check your email to retrieve it. It should have 6 digits.
• Create a password. The password must have at least 8 characters, with at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter. Re-enter your password to confirm.
• Enter your personal information. The system will ask for the following: – Full name – Sex – Birth date – Mobile number – Citizenship – Country of birth – Passport number Tap NEXT.

• Enter your residential address. Click NEXT after.
• Review all the information you entered. The system will show you a summary of your details. If every thing is correct, hit SUBMIT.

That’s it! You now have an eTravel account!

Using this account, you can register a trip for yourself and even family members.

Now, it’s time to register your trip.

How to Accomplish eTravel for DEPARTING Passengers

Now that you have an account, all you need to do is register your upcoming trip. Every time you do so, you’ll be asked if you’re completing the form for yourself or for a family member. (Yes, you can submit a form on their behalf.) You’ll also be asked if it’s for ARRIVAL or DEPARTURE.

This section is for DEPARTURE , i.e. for those flying OUT of the Philippines. This applies to all Filipino passengers and crewmembers. Foreign nationals departing the Philippines do not need to register their departure trip.

Here’s how to register a departure trip:

• Select whether you’re accomplishing the form for yourself or a family member. You should also select whether you’re traveling by air or by sea. Let’s assume you’re flying, so choose AIR.
• Choose DEPARTURE (Leaving the Philippines). Make sure you select the right one! Then click CONTINUE.
• Enter your travel details, including the following: – Your occupation . Select the industry closest to yours) – Purpose of travel . If you’re traveling as a tourist, choose HOLIDAY/PLEASURE/VACATION. Other choices are OFW, Convention/Conference, Education/Training/Studies, Religion/Pilgrimage, and Transit. Just pick what applies to you.. – Traveler type . Choose AIRCRAFT PASSENGER. – Destination country and address . If you’re staying at a hotel, enter your hotel’s address. If you’re staying with someone else, type their address.
• Enter your flight information. Provide the following details: – Date of departure – Name of airline – Flight number – Airport of departure. If flying out of Manila, choose NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (MNL). But make sure you pick the right terminal, too. – Seat number (optional) Click NEXT.
• Review your details. You’ll be shown a summary of all the info you entered. Make sure everything is correct. If so, click SUBMIT.
• Save or take a screenshot of your eTravel QR code. This will also be sent to the email address you used.

That’s it! All your information will also be sent to the Immigration Officer’s database. In most cases, they won’t even ask to see your QR code because they can already see it on their screen as you clear Immigration Check.

How to Accomplish eTravel for ARRIVING Passengers

Assuming you already have an eTravel account, you only need to register your trip. For ARRIVAL registration, all passengers — Filipinos and foreigners alike — must complete and submit an ARRIVAL eTravel form. Just follow these steps.

• Choose ARRIVAL (Entering the Philippines). Make sure you select the right one! Then click CONTINUE.
• Enter your travel details, including the following: – Your occupation. Select the industry closest to yours) – Purpose of travel. If you live in the Philippines and you just went abroad for business or holiday, choose RETURNING RESIDENT. Other options are OFW, Convention/Conference, Education/Training/Studies, Religion/Pilgrimage, and Transit. Just pick what applies to you. – Traveler type. Choose AIRCRAFT PASSENGER. – Country of origin. This is the country where you will be flying from.
• Enter your address in the Philippines. Choose where you will be staying in the Philippines: Residence, Hotel/Resort, or Transit. Once you select, type in the address of your residence or hotel, whichever is applicable.
• Enter your flight information. Provide the following details: – Date of arrival – Name of airline – Flight number – Airport of arrival. If flying to Manila, choose NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (MNL). But make sure you pick the right terminal, too. – Seat number (optional) Click NEXT.
• Fill out the Health Declaration Form. Enter all the countries you have visited within the past 30 days. You’ll also be asked if you have been sick, have experienced symptoms, or have been exposed to someone with symptoms within the past 30 days. After answering all the items, click NEXT.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I want to change something after generating the qr code. how to correct it.

You can still edit your info if you noticed a typo error or you entered wrong data. However, note that you can only do this BEFORE it gets validated or verified by the BOQ officer upon your arrival sa Pilipinas. Ensure that you make your corrections before your flight to the Philippines.

To do this, just go to the main page or home page of eTravel, then click the UPDATE REGISTRATION button. Provide your reference number or transaction number and birth date.

At what point of the airport process should I present the QR code?

In most cases, you won’t be asked to present this at any point. But it doesn’t mean you can skip it. The Immigration Officer can see on their screens if you’ve accomplished this form.

• If they see that you have, they usually won’t ask for it.
• If they can’t find your eTravel for this trip, they will ask you to step aside and accomplish one at the tablet station nearby.

Do I have to pay for eTravel QR Code? How much is the charge?

No, you don’t need to pay anything for the eTravel QR Code. It is FREE of charge. If you landed on a website requiring you to pay for the service, it’s definitely a scam.

I’m traveling with family. Does every one of us need to accomplish eTravel?

YES and NO. YES, every member of the family on your trip must have an eTravel record, but not everyone needs to create an account. One member can create an account and then they can register all the accompanying family members under that one account. I’ve done it myself for my mother and sister on our most recent trip, and we didn’t encounter any problem.

Note that this does not apply to friends, colleagues, or romantic partners. If you’re not family, each of you must create an account.

Is there a Tagalog version of this article?

We will be publishing a Tagalog video version of this on our YouTube channel .

Do I still need to accomplish One Health Pass and eArrival Card?

No need. The eTravel has officially replaced the now obsolete One Health Pass and eArrival Card starting 2 December 2022.

To be honest, all these systems are very similar. The changes are not too drastic. Some items were removed such as the Philhealth Number, and then some required items are now optional. The noticeable difference is not really the content but the appearance or the user interface.

One Health Pass to Travel to the Philippines

The One Health Pass for the Philippines has been replaced by a new electronic migratory form , the Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System (previously called the eTraveCard).

This updated health system performs the same function as the One Health Pass and eTravel. However, it is more streamlined and quicker to use.

The One Health Pass is no longer a requirement . Instead, all travelers must complete the Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration.

This page provides information about the one-stop system for the Philippines and explains how to submit the health declaration .

Are the One-Stop eTravel Declaration and the One Health Pass the Same?

The One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration is the latest upgraded version of the One Health Pass.

Both are online health declarations for the Philippines introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The One Health Pass is no longer in use, having been replaced by the improved One-Stop system . The new digital form is shorter and the process of arriving in the Philippines with the new QR code or barcode has been simplified.

When was the One Health Pass replaced by the One-Stop Declaration?

The One Health Pass was a travel requirement for the Philippines until the end of October 2022 .

On November 1, 2022 , the One Health Pass was replaced by the Philippines eArrival Card. The name was later changed to Philippines eTravel Card, and finally the Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System.

What was the Philippines One Health Pass?

The One Health Pass (OHP) was an online platform for people visiting the Philippines. It was introduced to facilitate safe travel to the Philippines during COVID-19 .

Now, inbound travelers must instead complete the updated version of the One Health Pass , called the one-stop system.

Incoming passengers need to register their details and flight information before taking a flight to the Philippines as well as completing the mandatory electronic Health Declaration .

They must provide contact details, health data, and other information about their trip.

Who Needs the One Health Pass for the Philippines?

No one currently needs the One Health Pass , as it has been discontinued.

Instead, all foreign visitors must fill out the new electronic travel registration online before flying to international airports in the Philippines, including:

• Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), also known as Manila Airport
• Clark International Airport (CRK)
• Matcan-Cebu International Airport (CEB)

The first 2 airports serve the Greater Manila Area and all are major international ports of entry in the Philippines.

Do residents and citizens of the Philippines need One Health Pass?

While residents and citizens do not need a travel authorization or visa to enter the country, Filipino nationals and residents returning from overseas must supply their health information to enter the country.

Therefore, they were also required to register with One Health Pass and complete an eHDC, until this system was replaced. Now, they are required to register with the new system.

Is One Health Pass still required for the Philippines in 2022?

As of November 1, 2022, the One Health Pass is no longer required for the Philippines.

Instead, travelers must use the upgraded one-stop electronic Travel system to complete the required health declaration.

Many travel restrictions for the Philippines have now been lifted.

However, the health declaration is still a mandatory requirement regardless of vaccination status, although it is no longer referred to as the OHP.

How to Get the One Health Pass for the Philippines

Travelers accessed the One Health Pass for the Philippines through the web-based online portal . Applicants did not need to download a mobile application.

The first time they entered, they had to register their details. Once registered, users could access their One Health Pass by entering their login details.

How did the One Health Pass work?

These are the steps that passengers had to take before boarding a flight to the Philippines :

• Register details with One Health Pass
• Update the OHP registration with the eHDC
• Present the QR code to airline staff

Passengers would only be allowed to board a flight for the Philippines if they had filled out the One Health Pass health declaration form in the last 24 hours and had a unique QR code.

The new system is similar to the OHP . However, you now have 72 hours before traveling to complete the health declaration.

• Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System — the online platform where travelers provide their information
