eTravel guidance for Filipino passengers
The eTravel FAQ identifies arriving Filipino passengers and departing Filipino passengers among the categories required to register or update, subject to special exemptions. The journey direction matters because the questions and travel details can differ.
Filipino passengers should complete the current record within 72 hours before the relevant arrival or departure. Use the passport or travel-document information that will be presented and review all dates before submission.
Keep the QR code available before boarding and at travel checks. If a permitted detail changes before processing and verification, use the current edit function and save the revised record.
