eTravel for Filipino and foreign crewmembers
The eTravel FAQ identifies arriving Filipino and foreign crewmembers as a category that may be required to register or update, with special categories handled separately. Crew travel should use the flow presented for crew rather than copying a passenger record.
Prepare the travel document, carrier or voyage information and the arrival details requested by the live system. The permitted window remains an important part of preparation, and the QR record should be saved after submission.
Crew procedures can involve carrier, port and border instructions beyond the eTravel system. Keep those records organised and follow the current instructions for the actual assignment.
Crew checklist

Crew cautions
