To improve the travel process and make it smoother and more efficient, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) has created an innovative electronic travel declaration system called eTravel registration.

The eTravel System is designed to simplify the travel experience for both local and international travelers.

It works as a digital platform to collect data, serving as a vital tool in border control, health surveillance, and economic data analysis.

By modernizing travel procedures, eTravel aims to improve the overall efficiency of the travel experience, ensuring a seamless journey for all.

PASAY, Philippines — Amidst the holiday season, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) reminded the traveling public that registration in the one-stop electronic travel declaration system (eTravel), is a requirement for international passengers who arrive and depart from the country’s ports of entry and exit.

Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco reiterated that all arriving and departing passengers should register in the eTravel, as it is a prerequisite for the conduct of immigration formalities by BI officers manning the Bureau’s counters in the international airports and seaports.

Tansingco said eTravel registration, which can be done via the eGov PH App or via the government website https://etravel.gov.ph, strengthens border control services, and results in seamless travel experience for the public.

The BI Chief further urged the airlines to cooperate in the implementation of the project, adding that airline companies are responsible in advising their customers that registering in the eTravel system is mandatory.

“We have sent reminders to airline companies to remind passengers to register on the eTravel platform prior to arrival or departure from the country,” said Tansingco.

He added that they are set to procure eTravel kiosks to allow individuals who have no access to smartphones or the internet to register on the spot.

Under the rules, those who are required to register in the eTravel are arriving Filipino and foreign crew members and passengers, as well as departing Filipino passengers.

Passengers exempted from registering are foreign diplomats and their dependents; foreign dignitaries and members of their delegation; holders of 9(e) diplomatic visas; and holders of diplomatic and official/service passports.

Launched the several months ago, the eTravel is a joint project of the BI, Department of Information and Communciation Techonology (DICT), Department of Tourism (DoT), and other government agencies and stakeholders in the travel and tourism industry.

The eTravel replaced the arrival and departure cards that international passengers were required to fill out by the BI prior to being cleared by immigration officers. It lessened paper-based requirements by harmonizing all data needs in one joint platform.
