What Is the Philippines eTravel?
The Philippines eTravel is an online system used to speed up immigration, health, and customs procedures.
The eTravel replaces the traditional paper cards that travelers previously had to complete when entering the Philippines.
By submitting your details online, you help the Philippine authorities process your arrival more smoothly. You’ll receive a QR code to show when requested during your trip.
What happened to the One Health Pass?
The One Health Pass is no longer in use.
In 2022, the Philippine government first replaced it with the eArrival Card. Then, from December 2022, the eArrival Card was replaced by the current eTravel system.

Each passenger must have their own eTravel registration and QR code.
