How to Fill Philippines Arrival Card? Requirements & Entry Guide
If you’re traveling to the Philippines in 2026, forget about old paper arrival forms—everything’s digital now. The Philippine government replaced the traditional arrival card with the eTravel registration (officially called the Philippine e-arrival card) back in 2022, and it’s still a mandatory step for most travelers.

What Is the Philippines Arrival Card (eTravel)?
PH replaces One Health Pass with new eArrival card. Here's what ...
The Philippines Arrival Card is a digital immigration and customs declaration form, it’s not a visa. It replaces the old paper forms you used to fill out on planes or at the airport. The government uses it to collect essential info:
- Basic personal details (full name, date of birth, contact info)
- Passport details (number, issue/expiry dates, issuing country)
- Travel info (flight number, country of departure, accommodation address)
- Customs declaration (food, agricultural products, cash over USD 10,000)
- Health declaration (recent travel to restricted areas, illness history, vaccination status if required)
It’s 100% online, free to use, and takes 5–10 minutes to complete. Once submitted, you’ll get a QR code—save it digitally (phone) or print a copy to show at immigration and customs.
Who Needs to Complete Philippine eTravel Card?
Most people traveling to the Philippines need to fill it out, but there’s one big exception (this rule started in late 2025 and still stands):
- You need it if: You’re a foreign tourist, business traveler, student, transit passenger, an OFW who’s not coming back to stay, or any non-Filipino citizen.
- You don’t need it if: You’re a Filipino citizen coming back home (including returning residents).
Quick heads-up: Even if you don’t need a visa (like Singaporeans or Malaysians staying up to 30 days), you still have to do the eTravel. It’s separate from visa rules.
How to Get & Fill the Philippine eTravel Card
Follow these steps—do it within 72 hours before your departure from your home country to avoid long airport lines. The official portal is the only one you need.
- Access the official eTravel portal: Go to etravel.gov.ph on your phone or computer. Select the “Arriving” option (for travelers entering the Philippines).
- Fill in personal & passport details: Enter your full name (as shown on your passport), date of birth, nationality, passport number, passport issue/expiration date and country of issue. Check it carefully - mistakes can cause delays.
- Add travel details: Enter your flight number, the date/time of departure from your home country, the date/time of arrival in the Philippines, and your accommodation address (hotel name, address, or a friend/family member's home if you are staying with someone).
- Complete customs declaration: Be honest here - if the food, plants, animals, or cash you carry exceeds $10,000 (or equivalent), declare. Undeclared items can be seized.
- Finish health declaration: Answer some simple questions about recent visits to restricted countries, exposure to infectious diseases or recent illness. In 2026, most travelers will not need proof of vaccination (unless the government updates it).
- Submit & save your QR code: After viewing all the information, submit the form. You will receive a QR code via email (or you can save it directly from the portal website). Carry this QR code with you at all times - you can scan it upon entry.
If you forget to do so before departure, the staff of the Philippine Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) will assist you at the airport, but this will slow you down.
Required Documents for Philippines eTravel Card
New Arrival and Departure Cards News from the Philippines
Prepare these when you fill out the form - you need to refer to them:
- Valid passport: It must be valid for at least six months after arrival. Also, make sure there are two blank stamps (not just the small back pages). A damaged passport (tears, water damage) cannot be used. If your passport is damaged, please renew it.
- Confirm flight information: your flight number, departure and arrival dates, and the name of the airline.
- Accommodation information: The complete address of your hotel, Airbnb or the place where you and your friends/family are staying.
- Children: Even infants need their own passports (you cannot add them to your passport) and their own electronic travel forms. They also have to follow the same passport rules.

How to Enter the Philippines (Step-by-Step Entry Process)
New Arrival and Departure Cards News from the Philippines
If you are ready, entering the Philippines is very simple. The following is the complete process from before departure to upon arrival:
1. Pre-Departure (Do This Before You Fly)
- Complete eTravel registration: Do so within 72 hours of departure (using etravel.gov.ph). Save the QR code digitally and print a backup.
- Check visa requirements:
- Visa-free countries (such as ASEAN countries, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia) : Stay for 30 to 60 days (varies by nationality - please check the website of the Philippine Immigration Bureau in your country). No visa is required, but electronic travel is still mandatory.
- Non-exempt countries: Apply for a tourist/business visa at the Philippine embassy/consulate before traveling. Take the visa approval form.
- Pack required docs: passport (in compliance with regulations), eTravel QR code, confirmation of return air ticket (the immigration office may ask to view it to prove that you have not overstayed), accommodation reservation (confirmed by hotel /Airbnb).
2. On the Plane
- Flight attendants may issue physical customs declaration forms, but this is optional. Your e-travel already includes customs information - as long as you show the QR code at customs, you can skip the paper form.
- Keep your electronic travel QR code, passport and visa (if applicable) easily accessible - you will need them immediately upon landing.
3. Arrival at the Airport (Immigration)
- Join the “Foreign Nationals” line (or “Visa-Exempt” line if applicable—look for signs).
- Hand over: passport, electronic travel QR code (digital or printed) and visa (if you are not a visa-free visitor).
- The immigration authorities might ask some simple questions: "How long will you stay?" Where do you live? What is the purpose of your trip? Answer clearly, no detailed explanation is needed.
- They will stamp the date of entry and the duration of stay on your passport, carefully check the stamp to ensure it matches your planned travel time.
4. Baggage Claim
- Head to the baggage carousel with your flight number. If your bag is lost/damaged, report it to your airline’s baggage service desk immediately (keep your boarding pass handy).
5. Customs
- If you have nothing to declare (no food, plants or more than $10,000 in cash), please go through the "Nothing to Declare" line.
- If you do have something to declare, use the "Declare" line. Show them your electronic travel QR code - they will cross-compare it with what you say.
- Don't lie about restricted foods such as fresh fruits or meats. Customs inspection is very strict. If they find undeclared items, you will be fined.
6. Post-Arrival
- You can go now! Call a taxi, Grab (the Philippine version of Uber), or take the airport shuttle to your accommodation. Visitors do not need to register separately.
- If you need to stay longer than the time permitted by the stamp on your passport (and you meet the requirements), you can extend your stay at the immigration office in major cities such as Manila or Cebu.

Manila Bay City of Manila|3.27km from city center
While the breakfast buffet was a notable highlight with its quality and variety, my overall stay was significantly hampered by procedural and service-related friction points.
Parking: A Major Inconvenience
The process for securing complimentary parking is excessively complicated and needs to be streamlined. For a 5-night stay, having to follow these steps every single day was truly exhausting and time-consuming:
Validate the ticket at the Front Desk for complimentary status.
Go to the Parking Cashier for a zero-value receipt.
Surrender this receipt at the parking exit.
This multi-step, daily requirement detracts significantly from the convenience expected of a hotel in this category, and I urge management to simplify it for long-term guests.
Front Desk & Check-In Issues
Service at the Front Desk also presented some challenges:
The check-in process was not smooth and took longer than expected.
I often had to wait for an extended period for the front desk to answer my phone calls, which was frustrating when trying to resolve issues or make simple requests.
Value for Money
The breakfast buffet, while excellent, is priced quite high, making it feel less like a value-add and more like an excessive cost for those paying in addition to their room rate.
Overall: The quality of the breakfast is great, but the cumbersome parking procedure and the inconsistent front desk service created daily friction that significantly impacted the overall comfort and convenience of my extended stay.FromSEK 1,266

The Hotel is quite dated but clean, would have been a great hotel during those days. Staff are friendly and approachable.
Just a heads up; they require a deposit per night. If you have a credit card you can pre-auth. Since I stayed for 1 night, I put 2000 piso cash for deposit. A family who checked in before me had 2 rooms for 5nights, had to put deposit of 2x5x2000piso=20,000piso (325usd).FromSEK 438

My stay at Century Park Hotel was truly exceptional from start to finish. The hotel strikes a perfect balance between classic elegance and modern comfort, creating a welcoming atmosphere the moment you arrive.
The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering a relaxing retreat after a long day. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the attention to detail—from the amenities to the housekeeping—made the stay feel effortless and luxurious.

Stayed at Rizal Park Hotel and it honestly felt like stepping into another era—very Somewhere in Time kind of vibe. The building itself has a lot of character, which makes sense since it used to be the old Army Navy Club (built in 1911), and you can feel that old-world charm throughout the property.
Location is a major advantage—right beside Rizal Park, near the US Embassy, and overlooking Manila Bay. Great for staycations, especially if you want that sunset view. Convenience stores are about a 5-minute walk away, and food delivery is easily accessible.
We booked a junior suite and it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was notably fresh-smelling, which stood out. Bed was comfortable, aircon was cold, and Wi-Fi was fast. The pool area was a highlight—relaxing with a great view of the bay, especially at sunset. The hotel also has a gym and sauna; we were able to use the sauna, which was a nice addition to the overall experience.
Most of the staff were friendly, often greeting us with smiles and good mornings/evenings, which made the stay more pleasant. Special mention to Ma'am Jenna from the amenities building—very friendly and accommodating. There were a few instances where some staff didn't greet, but overall service was still warm and welcoming.
That said, the building does show its age in some areas. There were occasional noises at night (likely ongoing maintenance or renovations), and some facilities feel dated—TV could definitely be upgraded to a smart TV. We also noticed some ceilings and walls with visible cracks and signs of mold, which could use better upkeep. Breakfast buffet was okay—decent, but not a standout.
Overall, still good bang for buck. Best suited for staycations or travelers who appreciate historic hotels with character rather than modern luxury. Would definitely come back.FromSEK 527

For my stay in Manila, I chose the Red Planet Manila Bay, part of the well-known Red Planet chain. And I can say – it was the perfect decision!
The hotel primarily impresses with its excellent location. It's within walking distance of the Old City, the historic heart of the capital. All the main attractions seem to be right on its doorstep, which is incredibly convenient for any explorer.
My check-in was fast and very comfortable. I was greeted at the reception by a pleasant and attentive young woman. While check-in was officially at 2 PM, I was happily handed the keys to my room at 11 AM – completely free of charge! Such care and flexibility truly speak to their amazing service.
An added bonus is the cozy cafe on the ground floor. The food is tasty, portions are decent, and the prices are very affordable.

I had a pleasant stay at Red Planet Binondo. One of the best things about this hotel is its very convenient location. It’s within walking distance to the Pasig River Esplanade, where you can enjoy the river view and find plenty of food choices around the area. It’s also just a short walk to Ongpin Street, which makes it perfect if you want to explore the heart of Binondo and try different Chinese restaurants and food spots.
One thing to note is that the lobby is located on the 4th floor, which might be a bit unusual at first, but the check-in process was smooth.
The rooms are spacious with a modern and clean design, making the stay comfortable and relaxing. It feels well-maintained and practical for travelers who want a simple but nice place to stay.
However, the hotel does not provide slippers, toothbrush, or toothpaste for free. If you need them, you can buy a set from the hotel for ₱45.
Overall, Red Planet Binondo is a great option if you want an affordable, modern hotel in a very strategic location, especially if your goal is to explore Binondo’s food scene on foot.FromSEK 229

The location is good, close to Intramuros and the coast. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk from the station, but it's a nice walk to see the city. There's a large supermarket nearby and a 7-Eleven, which is very convenient.
Many of the staff were very kind. Thanks to them, I had a pleasant stay, which really made up for any shortcomings of the hotel. The doorman who opened the door for me every day even stopped an Uber taxi for me at the end and opened the door. He was very pleasant, and I left feeling good. Thank you.
Breakfast didn't have a huge variety, but the omelets made fresh every day were delicious, and since it was a buffet, I was able to eat my fill. For this price, there's even a small gym, so I think the cost-performance is good.
From here on, I'll list the downsides, but even with those, I still felt it was good value for money (again, thanks to the kind staff). The hotel is old and dusty. My room had no view from the window. The strange doll on the bedside lamp was a mystery (lol). The room was reasonably spacious, and the air conditioning worked great. However, when you remove the key card, everything turns off, so it gets hot again when you go out. There are no amenities at all, so I recommend bringing your own from home. There's no box of tissues either. There's only one roll of toilet paper, so if you use it as tissue, you'll run out. For towels, there's only a bath towel; no face towel. Maybe you can ask the front desk for a toothbrush? The toilet is the kind where you shouldn't flush paper. Please be careful.FromSEK 236
