You Need This: eTravel Replaces One Health Pass for Arrivals in the Philippines
Here's what you need to know.
(SPOT.ph) All inbound travelers to the Philippines, including returning residents, will now be required to register their arrival information and health declaration through eTravel, a single platform that will streamline the entry procedures and data collection of international passengers.
eTravel is a new platform that will integrate quarantine and immigration arrival requirements for international travelers.
It will replace the existing One Health Pass that inbound passengers had been using to register their travel and health information prior to their arrival to the Philippines.
