Ce qui a cha⁠n⁠g⁠é

On October 5, 2026, the Philippine Bureau of Immigration (BI) reminded people entering the country to register or update their eTravel details.

You are asked to do this on the eTravel website or the eGov PH app at least 72 hours before you travel. This applies to foreign travellers too.

According to the advisory, foreign nationals who deliberately enter false information may be refused entry. This is a reminder, not a new rule.
