Apply for your Philippines eTravel Registration online

Yes. The eTravel registration is a mandatory requirement for all travelers, including visa-free tourists, visa holders, and Filipino citizens (including OFWs).

The official registration is free. If you want to avoid government website crashes, need assistance with the complex health/customs fields, or want a professional review to avoid errors, iVisa offers these premium services for a fee.

Upon successful submission, you will receive a QR code via email.

• Green QR code: You are cleared for the express lane.

• Red QR code: You may need to undergo manual document verification or health screening upon arrival. You should screenshot or download this code to your device.

A red code does not mean you can’t travel. It simply means you will be directed to manual screening upon arrival for document verification, typically adding 5-15 minutes, but it does not mean denial.

You can also find your confirmation and QR code in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.

Yes. Since 2023, the Philippines has required eTravel registration for both arrival and departure. All departing passengers (both Filipinos and foreigners) must register within 72 hours of their flight out of the country.

If you apply through iVisa, we can assist you with both forms to ensure a smooth round trip.

The eTravel card is a declaration form, not a visa. Your stay duration depends on your nationality’s visa-free agreement (usually 30 days) or the specific visa issued by the Philippine Embassy.

No. It is a separate requirement. If your country is not on the visa-exempt list, you must apply for a Philippine visa (such as a 9A Tourist Visa) in addition to completing your eTravel registration.

The form can be completed up to 72 hours before your flight.

However, with iVisa, you can submit your details at any time; we will hold your application and submit it at the optimal window to ensure the QR code is valid for your specific travel dates.

Yes, every traveler must have an eTravel Registration. However, for families or groups traveling together, you can complete a single application form that includes all members of the household.

iVisa’s "Add another person" feature makes this process simple for families.

If you are staying in the international transit area and not passing through immigration to enter the Philippines, you generally do not need it. However, if you have to re-check bags or change terminals that require entering the country, the card is mandatory.

No. The eTravel Registration is for single entry only. A new registration must be submitted every time you enter or exit the Philippines.

Most airlines will deny boarding without a valid QR code. If you arrive without one, you will be stopped by the Bureau of Quarantine/Immigration and forced to complete it on-site, which can lead to long delays or missed connections.

iVisa offers Super Rush process options to help you get the eTravel Registration quickly, if required.
