I want to change something after generating the QR code. How is it corrected?

You can still edit your information If you noticed a typo or entered wrong data. However, note that you can only do this before you have been validated or verified by a BOQ officer upon your arrival in Pilipinas. Make sure to make the corrections before your trip to the Philippines.

To do this, simply go to the eTravel homepage or home page, and click on Registry update button. Enter the reference number or transaction number and date of birth.

At what stage of the airport process do I have to provide a QR code?

From the team’s experience, we were asked to present our QR Codes at these stations:

1. Check-in counter, before leaving abroad (in the country of origin)
2. Quarantine District Office, after disembarking from the plane and before immigration counters in the Philippines. The staff/officers will scan the QR code. It’s a very quick and smooth process if you have a green QR code.

Staff may also request it at the boarding gate (country of origin/outbound), so just have your copy ready during these times.

attention! Travel requirements change from time to time, so it is best to check with the government of the country you want to visit updated travel restrictions and requirements before you travel. For updated entry requirements in the Philippines, you can check the official eTravel website: https://etravel.gov.ph/entry-guidelines.

Do I still need to get a single health declaration and electronic access card?

no need. eTravel has officially replaced the now-obsolete One Health Pass and eArrival Card as of December 2, 2022.

Honestly, all of these systems are very similar. The changes are not very drastic. Some items such as the Philhealth number have been removed, and then some required items are now optional. The noticeable difference isn’t really the content but the appearance or user interface.

Do I have to pay for an e-travel QR code? How much is the charge?

No, you don’t need to pay anything for a QR Code. it’s free. If you land on a website that asks you to pay for the service, this is a scam.
