One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration to the Philippines (eTravel) (2024)

What Is the One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration for the Philippines?

Electronic travel registration includes providing a health declaration and information about the trip.

The data collected from eTravel enables Filipino authorities to perform contact tracing in the event that a traveler is found to have an infectious disease. In this way, it is an important measure to protect public health for both residents and visitors.

You must register with eTravel online before any trip to the Philippines, as well as before departure from the country. Once completed, you will receive a QR code or barcode to present on arrival or departure.

The declaration is the latest iteration of the Philippines’ digital health form. It has replaced the eArrival Card, which, in turn, replaced the One Health Pass. The original name for the form was the e-CIF. It also replaces the paper-based departure card.

The one-stop registration is now the only required health form. The eArrival Card, One Health Pass, and e-CIF are no longer in use.
