The Philippines eTravel Declaration is a government‑run digital registration platform for travelers arriving in or departing from the Philippines. Replacing the former paper arrival/departure cards and health forms, it streamlines immigration, customs, and quarantine procedures into a single online form.

If you're visiting for tourism, to see friends or family, or even transiting through the Philippines (unless you stay airside), you'll need to complete the eTravel Declaration within 72 hours before your arrival or departure date.
