Philippines eTravel QR code: saving and retrieving your record

After submitting the required eTravel information, travellers are instructed to take a screenshot or download the QR code before closing or exiting the eTravel website or application. A printed copy may also be used.

The QR record is proof that the travel declaration was completed; it is not a visa and it does not replace passport, airline or border requirements. Keep the same passport and itinerary details consistent with the record.

If the screenshot is lost, the FAQ describes an edit or search function that can retrieve the personal QR record using the reference number and date of birth. Use the current live interface because labels and steps may change.
