Thank you Jocelyn. I followed your advise to the letter and my stay was flawless. I plan on returning in October for permanent stay. I will be in touch. Ghanks again
I have entered the Philippines three times now in 2022 & 2023. Each time I showed our marriage license and had no issues getting the one year Balikbayan visa. One thing I made sure to do is follow all the requirements that were in place at the time of travel. Why people want to gripe and complain so much I dont know. I enjoyed each visit and will return again in 2024.
Af ter my 30 days was up I went to extend it cost five thousand five hundred peso for extra month. I then extended another month and that was another five thousand five hundred. Total 3 maths. So for the extra 2 maths was eleven thousand. Be aware you can only extend for one month. Then you have to go back to extend another month if you want to stay three months.
The only time they ask for Etravel was when I boarded in LAX. They still have the paper declaration, but didn’t need it because I filled it out onl8ne and they didn’t even ask for it when I got to the Philippines May 11th.
That's because your eTravel registration is automatically linked to your passport. So when the immigration officer scans your passport upon arrival in the Philippines, they will see if you've registered to eTravel or not.
We understand the need to fill out the ETravel 72 hours prior to our arrival in the Philippines. But what if we are just going to be in the Philippines for 1 day and then go to Guam the next day after arriving in Manila? Will be need to fill out the ETravel for our departure 72 hours prior to departing the Philippines even if we have not yet arrived in the Philippines? (We will be back again in the Philippines after 3 days in Guam and stay longer at that time).
It's ok to do the eTravel departure registration even on the day that you fly out. Please take note to register to eTravel departure form at least 3 hours (or earlier) before you board the plane.

Thank you Jocelyn for sharing your expertise on the subject matter. Next year, Jan ‘25, my wife and I will be going home, for a total of 60 days. We both are US citizens and I still have my old original PI passport but my wife does not (she never had one). From what I’ve read on the Phil. Embassy website in DC, returning Balikbayans or former Filipinos may also enter the Philippines without a visa and stay for a period of one (1) year, provided that they have a passport valid for 6 months beyond the intended stay in the Philippines, and proof of former Philippine citizenship (e.g. old Philippine passport or PSA-authenticated birth certificate). Foreign spouses and their children may also avail themselves of this privilege if traveling with the Balikbayan, subject to a presentation of a proof of affiliation (e.g. marriage certificate for spouse and birth certificate for children). Jocelyn, do we have to do anything upon landing at NAIA to get our visas? Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.

I'm a former Filipino citizen (66 yrs old) wish to travel to the Philippines in December with my husband (65 yrs old), as a seniors both of us are not into computer or online business. This etravel find us very stressful, we don't plan to carry a cellphone that will work in the Philippines, our cellphones will only work in the US. Is there any option? Help please. Thanks a lot.
Hello. The way I was told to do it, I go through TMobile, as no other U.S. cell phone really works in PH, and went to TMobile and bought a $150 (+$30 activation fee) cell phone and had them clone it to my main phone. Then they take the block off to free up your spare phone, then hand it over in PH to get your PH SIM card with your PH phone number with all your information from your main cell phone that was cloned to it. Can still use data (no calls) with your Tmobile for codes and social media etc.., no calls or it's $$$$$$. And then use your PH phone while there also. I run Express VPN, so with your U.S. cell phone, you can just VPN your usual U.S. location. All this technology (not a fan) seems to have made life more difficult rather than make life easier. 👍
Hello po. Before traveling, you can ask a family member or friend to register you for etravel. Some planes may or may not board passengers without etravel. But since there is time to learn to register, you can create an account for now, which means that you must have an email address and password to login in.
Yes, eTravel is required nowadays to travel to the Philippines. Especially for Americans and other foreign nationals traveling to the Philippines under the visa waiver.
eTravel is a system where you can input your travel details and health declaration, replacing the physical arrival cards and health declaration forms which are now phased out.
Yes, you will need an ETravel declaration with QR code. Times have changed. They are working on a new Immigration law which will bring many more changes this year.
Actually, it's not visa on arrival but visa waiver. Yes, Indonesians are qualified to travel to the Philippines under the visa waiver for stays of up to 30 days. 😊
I'm confused. you first mentioned that E408 is basically a list of countries who can stay in the Philippines for 30-days visa free. After that you said there's a list of countries that can stay for up to 59 days. Are you talking about the same countries in the E408 list? thanks
Brazil and Israel are also included in the EO408 (PH visa waiver), just like many countries in that list. However, because Brazil and Israel conclude visa waiver agreements with the Philippines, their citizens are allowed to stay in the Philippines for 59 days without a visa.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this matter-it is very helpful! However, I have a question: Is travel insurance required for Italian nationals travelling to the Philippines? Thank you!
Ms. Jocelyn, just to ensure I understand correctly, as an American with a Passport, under #408, I don't need a visa if I'm staying less than 30 correct or incorrect? Thanks in advance.
Hi great video but I have come up on a problem while filling out my etravel form its at the dates of return I select the month but the drop down down calender is greyed out or It will not allow me to select my return dates what shall I do I travel today HELP!!!!!
Maybe you tried filling it up way too early. You are allowed to fill up your eTravel within 72 hours(3) before your flight. No earlier than the required 3 days.
Can you please do a video detailing the process for a foreign national traveling with their filipino spouse including the process for those who intend to reside in the Philippines indefinitely. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the info, I was in the Philippines in February and I haven’t been there since before the pandemic and couldn’t believe the changes I am going back in late august and will be staying until mid January do you have any suggestions for my visa extension.
Thanks for the reply, im currently in the process of applying for a visa for my trip to the Philippines in September. While the officer at the Counsulate was really nice there was nothing I read about only able to apply for a visa 45 days before my trip. Also there were several steps that were not mentioned. I feel that this might be a good topic for another video.
I plan on visiting my girlfriend in November and spending Christmas with her and family. I plan to bring two new unopened laptops to give to her two girls. Should I declare these two computers when going through customs in the PH?
Today is May 30, 2024 and if I got it right your vlog is dated about 3vweeks ago and that's around first week of May, 2024. So, your mention of the "vaccine requirement" you said its no longer needed, is there a new update on this? We're scheduled to leave for the Philippines from the US 3rdvweek of July this year. We're "non-vaxxed", please give us an update, thank you.
I have a dual citizenship. I came to the Philippines with my US passport. Do I need to show my Philippine passport to the Immigration Office to stay for good to the Philippines?
What answer would I put for the e travel question when asks for date of return if I only have an onward ticket and not a return ticket? Would I just put the date of the onward ticket? Thank you
Nag dual citizen po ako pero US passport and the citizenship paper lang meron ako pwede po kayo ako mag stay ng 2 months? Ma question po kaya yon? Sana po ma sagot 🙏🏼 salamat po
@@JaneHill-o9jYes you can stay as long as you want since you are dual citizen. Just show your 3 document papers of your Reacquisition of Philippine citizenship at immigration.
Just got back from the Philippines visiting my girlfriend and her family it was a great experience and your information made it easy for me to navigate the requirements for my travel requirements of the etravel and the custom form since I’m coming from the USA to the Philippines. Do you have any detailed steps for Filipinos to gather all the requirements for the vacation visa of the B1/B2 steps on documents that need for travel visa to the USA
Hi. Thanks for all this good information. As I am married to a Filipina. Is it best to petition for a permanent residency as a spouse before or after arriving to the Phil? Also. As a spouse, we will be moving there for good early next year. Do I need a return ticket to show immigration in the airport when we arrive?
Hi Ate Jocelyn, so we’re visiting the Philippines in November for a total of 31 days, as I am a former Filipino, now British and married to a British man will I be able to get a balikbayan visa? Or will I have to get an extension for our stay? Also we will be visiting Japan and Bali whilst over there, will I need to do the E-travel online declaration every time we go in and out of the Philippines? Looking forward to your advice!
Yes, you and your husband are eligible for 1 year balikbayan visa. Just bring your old PH passport and your marriage certificate so you and your husband will surely be granted the balikbayan visa.
Since you are no longer a Filipino, you only need to fill out the eTravel when coming to the Philippines. No need to fill out the eTravel when leaving the Philippines.
@@josepharanzanso3325 just talked to a guy flying out on the 8th. BI told him rules changed and he needs to fill out e travel 72 hrs before he leaves. That makes no sense. Usually just need the EEC
me and my husband are going to Philippines and will be staying there for 40 days. I am Filipino citizen and he is Swed, how can we get a balikbayan visa?
You are still entitled for an indefinite stay in the Philippines, because you are still a Filipino. In the case of your Swedish husband, he only needs to travel to the Philippines with you to be able to stay for up to 1 year.
So when Im in the Philippines can I just simply extend my stay/visa online on the E-services website (Bureau of Immigration website) and thats it? do I have to visit them in person at all or mail them my passport? Is it better to do it in person, I heard sometimes you have to mail in your official passport to extend your visa, which I am not comfortable doing, what if my passport gets lost in the mail
@JJBinkers Yeah good idea I'll just do it online, do we have to show the visa extension approval on our phones when going through immigration when they stamp our passports, or will their system pick it up they'll stamp me the 2 months or 6 month extension stamp on my passport?
I am planning to take a three months trip to the following countries: Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. I am planning to stay less than 30 days in each country. I currently live in USA. What is the best way to buy airlines tickets? Am I able to make Philippines as my two way ticket destination and make a 3 months reservation and buy other one way ticket from Philippines to other countries and leave Philippines within the first 30 days but come back to fly back to USA? Hope my question makes sense. USA to Philippines (two way ticket) September 1 - December 1 but leave Philippines on September 21... Philippines to Thailand (one way ticket) September 21-October 15 Thailand to Vietnam (one way ticket) October 15- November 2 Vietnam to Indonesia (one way ticket) November 2- November 24 Indonesia to Philippines (one way ticket) November 24 Leave Philippines to USA on December 1 (back using the original 2 way ticket) AM I able to do that using the 30 day Visa?
Hello po sana masagot nyo po ako,Yung Fiancee ko po bibisita sa pinas ngaung december,pero 35 days po sya mag stay,kelanagan po ba nya kuha ng tourist visa?kasi more than 30 days po.
hither. I am traveling from Dubai and I will stay in Malaysia for 5 nights before Ilanded in Philippines. so do I have to register before I leave from Dubai or can I do it before I leave from Malaysia?
I assume you'll leave the airport in Malaysia, as you will stay there in 5 days before you fly to the Philippines. So the best time to register to eTravel is when you are in Malaysia (which should also be your country of origin in your eTravel registration).
Hi ma'am Jocelyn gusto ko lng po humingi ng advice gusto po kc ng boyfriend ko ngaun august 5 2025 mag bakasyon sa pinas first time nya po to mag travel sa pinas can i ask about the requirements brazil to Philippines thank you po kung ma pansin nyo ang message ko ❤❤❤ Godbless
I'm coming to the Philippines at the end of the month for two months from the US. I'm having trouble getting the right visa there are to many sites I don't know what one I should use can you help? please 🙏
Furthermore, the official website for applying Philippine visas online (before travel) is currently under maintenance and does not accept applications the last time I visited it.
I plan to visit for six weeks in the near future. I want to fly into Manilla and fly out of Davao and visit the areas in between. If I use a 30 day visa waiver but my booked return flight is for 6 wks later will that cause a problem?
Today is May 31,2024 and l just finished watching this travel requirement you posted. My question is this. Do l need to get a visa from the Philippines’ Consulate here in Houston before l fly to stay in the Philippines for more than 3 months for vacation. I have a round trip ticket from June to September of this year. Born in the Philippines but already a naturalized American citizen and have an American passport.
Just show your old Philippine passport (if you have one) when you travel here. Show it to the immigration officer upon arrival, so you can be given a 1 year stay under the Balikbayan visa. No need to apply for a visa prior to travel to the Philippines
I am a Balikbayan and I am travelling with a friend. It's her firs time to go to the Philippines. She wants to stay 8 weeks. As I understand, she won't be allowed because her return ticket is beyond 30 days. How do you go around it? We are both seniors. Thank you for your advise!
Hello, I have been living here in the Philippines for 3 years now. I came with my wife on the Balikbayan program so i have to exit every year then my visa is renewed upon my return. has that changed and will it change once the new immigration proposals become law later this year?
Thank you for the information so far but unfortunately i couldnt see on the long list of countries you listed if the united kingdom needed visas for a 4 or 5 month stay i am retired i am 67 yrs old my wife is a philippine citizen and has never applied for british citizenship so she is still a philipino citizen we have been married for 36 years please advise if my british passport will be enough for a 3 or 4 month stay .
Since your wife is still a Filipina, she has the right to stay in the Philippines indefinitely. In your case, you only have to travel to the Philippines with your Filipina spouse and present your marriage license upon arrival, so you can be allowed to stay in the Philippines for 1 year under the Balikbayan visa.
Hi ma”am i watch your immigration information all the time.I am going to Philippines this coming august 20th.. but i only bought one way ticket just because i don’t know when i am going back here in the us, Im a a us citizen yes! I plan to use the balibayan visa 😊last march i was up there also.. I still have the pilipino passport with me. My really question is do i need to buy a round ticket ? Or not? Pls advise me thank you so much ❤
Thank you for the update. May I ask about registering for eTravel? eTravel asked for email account, which I have. But I have forgotten my own password. Clicking to 'forgot password ' could not help me to register again, as the response would turn to 'invalid account'. Next is MPIN 6-digit requirement after OTP. Where does one obtain MPIN? (I am a senior citizen and as I have enjoyed personal email, I have forgotten my own password.) Could the eTravel make things easier for simple log-in? Thank you again.
Can my return ticket be a separate one-way ticket? I'm going to PH for less than 30 days and plan to purchase 1 one-way ticket to PH and two return tickets, so my fiancé and I can have the same itinerary. Is this ok to do or do I have to have a round-trip ticket? I really need to know.
They will often check your return ticket at the time of arrival. If you don't have one, they will not stamp your passport and you will not be able to enter the Philippines past the Immigration booth.
Question, My wife and I are both US citizens, but she is a former Filipino citizen. We plan on moving there in November and aren’t sure about the ticket purchase. When we go to fill out the etravel form, is it allowed to just buy a one way ticket since we will both get the 1 year balikbayan stamp when we arrive or are we required to purchase a round trip ticket? I would hate to spend the extra money since we plan on staying in the Philippines. Thanks
Hello Mam Jocelyn. My sister (a former filipino) along with her american husband and son will be traveling to the Phils. probably on Aug 31- Sept 14, 2024. Will they be required to accomplish the eTravel registration individually ?
What is your nationality? Because among foreign nationals who normally require a visa before traveling to the Philippines, only Indians and Chinese will be exempted from visa requirements if in possession of a valid US visa.
Hi I'm traveling back to the Philippines may 29th from the USA does Korean Air except etravel? And can I get a onward ticket to Taiwan I'm a American citizen
Someone asked if SRRV holders had to register with e travel and another person said yes. I received mine last year and there were less restrictions for this permanent visa than for citizens of the Philippines, nor was there any mention of this in the video. The video was entirely about tourists, am I correct?
Good evening,my husband is visiting Philippines,it is his first time to travel Philippines.we are married.59days po ang allowed stay niya sa pinas however mag stay po siya ng 65 days sa Pinas may return ticket na din po siya,magka problema po kaya sa pag fill up niya ng e travel?or sa immigration officer? Two or one week before his visa expire magpapa extend nmn po siya.sana po masagot salamat
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you so much❤. You really help me out with all of my confusion. I am planning to travel to Philippines with my Family. My country does not need Visa for Philippines. However, I have two questions: 1. Do we need travel insurance while travelling to Philippines 2. Do we have to fill e-travel form while flying back from Philippines to my home country also? Thank you 💐
For your first question, travel insurance is optional but recommended. For your second question, eTravel departure form is only required for Filipino citizens leaving the Philippines. Foreigners are only required to fill out the eTravel arrival form.
Hi i got à question my wife is a born Filipino and naturalized us citizen and she wants to go home for 3 months does she need Philippines vísa to stay that long
hi,Im going to Philippines onthe 21st.I will be staying there for about 45 days.Im a green card holder not a citizen yet,my passport still Philippine passport.Am I still going to get that extension visa thing???
Yes, you can travel to the Philippines using your Singaporean visa. You will get a 2 weeks visa-free stay when you present your Singaporean visa upon arrival in the Philippines.
I am a Balikbayan holder of Foreign passport and been visiting Philippines every year without any problem. Now the new rule is we have to show a proof that we are Filipinos...what can be shown in the immigration if i dont have my old Phil.passport & birth certificate?
I do not understand why you said balikbayan is only entitled to stay in the Philippines for 30 days but the consul office said one year without a visa.
im a filipino who is living in Uk and my husband is british. he is travelingwith me to the philippines for 2 months, need po ba syang kumuha ng tourist visa?
Yes, pagdating sa Pinas na ang pagkuha ng balikbayan visa para sa asawa mo. Dapat magkasama kayong pupunta sa Pinas, tapos pakita nyo sa immigration officer ang marriage certificate nyo pagdating sa airport dito sa Pinas. Para siguradong mabigyan ng 1 year balikbayan visa stamp ang passport ng mister mo. 😊
I wanna know the immigration requirements too. Me and my family are former filipinos and will be travelling back to the Philippines for a 45 days vacation. We are from Canada. Hoping for your answer too. Thank you
Hello. You can apply for dual citizenship while abroad before going to Philippines. Otherwise, you can stay for a maximum period of one year and then extend your stay.
Thank you Jocelyn. I hold an Australian passport and will be staying for 31 days in the philippines. My wife and son hold a Filipino passport and they have an Australian PR - do they need a visiting visa to the philippines? Many thanks ^_^
Good day po, ma'am! Sana po replayan niyo po ako..may tanong lng po ako napakaimportante po ito. Pag po ba JUNE 12 tapus balik JULY 15 po need po ba ng VISA?
Hello, i want to ask if i'm married in the Philippines and i want to go back to the Philippines, a round-trip ticket is still a must or not? I don't have yet the 13A visa because i didn't get my NBI Clearance yet.
If you are traveling to the Philippines alone, a return or onward ticket is required (because you will be treated as a regular visitor). If you are traveling with your Filipino spouse, an outbound ticket is not required (because you will be allowed to stay for 1 year under the Balikbayan visa).
Hello namaste sis I had a question I am from Nepal but working over here in Saudi Arabia ryt now and on October that from Saudi to Philippine I am traveling there so what should I do sis plz tell me it will be big help
Good afternoon Jocelyn, If I have my marriage certificate with me do I need an onward flight ticket as my Filipino wife and I will be travelling to the UK but we are not sure when so I will extend my visa before the 30 days. I have NOT had any vaccines at all but had a negative COVID test before I came last time do I need one this time
I just registered for e-travel but I still have 2 weeks left before leaving to the PH. After I registered it told me that its in review and it will verify my account within 7 business days. What do i do once everything is verified?
Seriously? You complain and speak ill just because you are not willing to follow the immigration laws and entry requirements of the Philippines? May I remind you that as a foreigner, you are NOT entitled to any right in the Philippines. So better stop whining and stay in your home country (or go somewhere else) if you don't want to follow the immigration laws here.

Hello! My mother was born in the Philippines to a US citizen father and a Filipina mother, she has been staying in the Philippines all her life since she was born 50+ years ago. Then last year lang po namin nalaman that my mother is a US citizen, meron siyang consular birth certificate and a US passport. Along with that we just found out that she's been staying in the Philippines illegally kasi wala siyang valid PH visa to stay in the Philippines, yung overstay niya po ay lagpas 100k PHP na. Question po, paano kaya mare-resolve ang case niya? Pwede ba itong ma-resolve kung i-claim niya ang dual citizenship niya by operation of law? Eligible po ba siya for that? Sana po mapansin niyo ang comment ko. Thanks!
Hello. She is a dual citizen by operation of law. Does she have a Ph birth certificate and Philippine passport? She doesn’t need to apply for dual citizenship because she is a dual citizen at birth. It’s good that she has a US consular report of birth.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 Hello, thanks for the reply. However, her PSA birth certificate mentions a different last name compared to her US passport and consular birth abroad. Paano po kaya yun?

im going to philippines in September, i'll be landing in manila at 6pm on monday, is it going to be a long line to get through to get my passport stamped?
Also if you stay 90 days you have to get a alien certificate of registration and if you stay over 6 months you have to get a immigration clearance to leave the country. I lived there 13 months in CDO.
Thank you Jocelyn. I followed your advise to the letter and my stay was flawless. I plan on returning in October for permanent stay. I will be in touch. Ghanks again

So for the extra 2 maths was eleven thousand. Be aware you can only extend for one month. Then you have to go back to extend another month if you want to stay three months.
Wow 😯. Thank you for sharing. The cost keeps going up while the time for extension keeps getting shorter and you have to do it every month to extend.
They want to milked you out of your money, like went your dating a filipina! 🤣
You need to support his whole family and his long lost cousin! Lol
This is also what we did
What about the changes of your flight? That is another cost due to you can't extend beyond 30 days? Thanks

We understand the need to fill out the ETravel 72 hours prior to our arrival in the Philippines. But what if we are just going to be in the Philippines for 1 day and then go to Guam the next day after arriving in Manila? Will be need to fill out the ETravel for our departure 72 hours prior to departing the Philippines even if we have not yet arrived in the Philippines? (We will be back again in the Philippines after 3 days in Guam and stay longer at that time).
It's ok to do the eTravel departure registration even on the day that you fly out. Please take note to register to eTravel departure form at least 3 hours (or earlier) before you board the plane.

Thank you Jocelyn for sharing your expertise on the subject matter. Next year, Jan ‘25, my wife and I will be going home, for a total of 60 days. We both are US citizens and I still have my old original PI passport but my wife does not (she never had one). From what I’ve read on the Phil. Embassy website in DC, returning Balikbayans or former Filipinos may also enter the Philippines without a visa and stay for a period of one (1) year, provided that they have a passport valid for 6 months beyond the intended stay in the Philippines, and proof of former Philippine citizenship (e.g. old Philippine passport or PSA-authenticated birth certificate). Foreign spouses and their children may also avail themselves of this privilege if traveling with the Balikbayan, subject to a presentation of a proof of affiliation (e.g. marriage certificate for spouse and birth certificate for children).
Jocelyn, do we have to do anything upon landing at NAIA to get our visas? Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.

you have to apply thru the consulate in your country.... they provide the alternate web site address..

Actually, it's not visa on arrival but visa waiver. Yes, Indonesians are qualified to travel to the Philippines under the visa waiver for stays of up to 30 days. 😊
I'm confused. you first mentioned that E408 is basically a list of countries who can stay in the Philippines for 30-days visa free. After that you said there's a list of countries that can stay for up to 59 days. Are you talking about the same countries in the E408 list? thanks
Only Brazil and Israel citizens can stay up to 59 without a Visa due to political agreements.
Brazil and Israel are also included in the EO408 (PH visa waiver), just like many countries in that list. However, because Brazil and Israel conclude visa waiver agreements with the Philippines, their citizens are allowed to stay in the Philippines for 59 days without a visa.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this matter-it is very helpful! However, I have a question: Is travel insurance required for Italian nationals travelling to the Philippines? Thank you!
Ms. Jocelyn, just to ensure I understand correctly, as an American with a Passport, under #408, I don't need a visa if I'm staying less than 30 correct or incorrect? Thanks in advance.
Hi great video but I have come up on a problem while filling out my etravel form its at the dates of return I select the month but the drop down down calender is greyed out or It will not allow me to select my return dates what shall I do I travel today HELP!!!!!
Maybe you tried filling it up way too early. You are allowed to fill up your eTravel within 72 hours(3) before your flight. No earlier than the required 3 days.

Could you give us information on customs declaration what you can & cannot bring. How to bring seeds & plants to the Philippines legally for example
Seeds is okay as long as it’s in the pouch from store. Put in on your check in. Don’t bring plant that’s a hassle at the airport.
Can you please do a video detailing the process for a foreign national traveling with their filipino spouse including the process for those who intend to reside in the Philippines indefinitely. Thank you so much.
Will do 😊
I was tripping last year and now trying to going again
Thank you for the information. I appreciate it.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the info, I was in the Philippines in February and I haven’t been there since before the pandemic and couldn’t believe the changes I am going back in late august and will be staying until mid January do you have any suggestions for my visa extension.
Hello. You can create an account for eservices to extend your visa or you can visit the Immigration office.
Thanks for the reply, im currently in the process of applying for a visa for my trip to the Philippines in September. While the officer at the Counsulate was really nice there was nothing I read about only able to apply for a visa 45 days before my trip. Also there were several steps that were not mentioned. I feel that this might be a good topic for another video.
Hi! Thanks for the info! Can I bring Hawaiian leis in plastic cases to Philippines without quarantine? Are these considered plants to declare?
I plan on visiting my girlfriend in November and spending Christmas with her and family. I plan to bring two new unopened laptops to give to her two girls. Should I declare these two computers when going through customs in the PH?
I think you don't need to declare it, because 2 laptops are still fit for "personal use" quantity.
Today is May 30, 2024 and if I got it right your vlog is dated about 3vweeks ago and that's around first week of May, 2024. So, your mention of the "vaccine requirement" you said its no longer needed, is there a new update on this? We're scheduled to leave for the Philippines from the US 3rdvweek of July this year. We're "non-vaxxed", please give us an update, thank you.
The covid vaccine requirement or covid test for unvaccinated travelers is no longer needed. Because it has been abolished since July 2023.
I have a dual citizenship. I came to the Philippines with my US passport. Do I need to show my Philippine passport to the Immigration Office to stay for good to the Philippines?
I would like to know this also. Also what if I have a dual but don't have a Ph passport yet. Will they allow me to stay for good in the PH?
Yes, you must show your PH passport or dual citizenship documents.
What answer would I put for the e travel question when asks for date of return if I only have an onward ticket and not a return ticket? Would I just put the date of the onward ticket? Thank you
Nag dual citizen po ako pero US passport and the citizenship paper lang meron ako pwede po kayo ako mag stay ng 2 months? Ma question po kaya yon? Sana po ma sagot 🙏🏼 salamat po
I would like to know this also. I only have the paperwork's but no Philippine passport yet.
@adventuresinamericausa1
@@JaneHill-o9jYes you can stay as long as you want since you are dual citizen. Just show your 3 document papers of your Reacquisition of Philippine citizenship at immigration.
Since dual citizen po kayo, you can stay indefinitely. Just bring original dual citizenship documents.
Just got back from the Philippines visiting my girlfriend and her family it was a great experience and your information made it easy for me to navigate the requirements for my travel requirements of the etravel and the custom form since I’m coming from the USA to the Philippines. Do you have any detailed steps for Filipinos to gather all the requirements for the vacation visa of the B1/B2 steps on documents that need for travel visa to the USA

Hi. Thanks for all this good information.
As I am married to a Filipina. Is it best to petition for a permanent residency as a spouse before or after arriving to the Phil?
Also. As a spouse, we will be moving there for good early next year. Do I need a return ticket to show immigration in the airport when we arrive?
Hi Ate Jocelyn, so we’re visiting the Philippines in November for a total of 31 days, as I am a former Filipino, now British and married to a British man will I be able to get a balikbayan visa? Or will I have to get an extension for our stay?
Also we will be visiting Japan and Bali whilst over there, will I need to do the E-travel online declaration every time we go in and out of the Philippines?
Looking forward to your advice!
Yes, you and your husband are eligible for 1 year balikbayan visa. Just bring your old PH passport and your marriage certificate so you and your husband will surely be granted the balikbayan visa.
Since you are no longer a Filipino, you only need to fill out the eTravel when coming to the Philippines. No need to fill out the eTravel when leaving the Philippines.
So you need to file e travel when leaving the PI as a foreigner?
No, only Filipinos leaving the Philippines need to fill out the eTravel departure form.
@@josepharanzanso3325 just talked to a guy flying out on the 8th. BI told him rules changed and he needs to fill out e travel 72 hrs before he leaves. That makes no sense. Usually just need the EEC
About is galing Argentina papuntang Philippines at gusto mag stay dito?
Please 🙏🙏 answer me
Still lots of confusion..
Do Fournier. .have to get this ...E travel on departure.
One site ..yes next government sit. No
Been using Balikbayan for many many years, never been asked for marriage license
How do you get that ?
me and my husband are going to Philippines and will be staying there for 40 days. I am Filipino citizen and he is Swed, how can we get a balikbayan visa?
You are still entitled for an indefinite stay in the Philippines, because you are still a Filipino. In the case of your Swedish husband, he only needs to travel to the Philippines with you to be able to stay for up to 1 year.
So when Im in the Philippines can I just simply extend my stay/visa online on the E-services website (Bureau of Immigration website) and thats it? do I have to visit them in person at all or mail them my passport? Is it better to do it in person, I heard sometimes you have to mail in your official passport to extend your visa, which I am not comfortable doing, what if my passport gets lost in the mail
I would recommend just visit in person to extend your visa. If you have any questions, you can easily ask someone at the Immigration office.
@JJBinkers Yeah good idea I'll just do it online, do we have to show the visa extension approval on our phones when going through immigration when they stamp our passports, or will their system pick it up they'll stamp me the 2 months or 6 month extension stamp on my passport?
I am planning to take a three months trip to the following countries: Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. I am planning to stay less than 30 days in each country. I currently live in USA. What is the best way to buy airlines tickets? Am I able to make Philippines as my two way ticket destination and make a 3 months reservation and buy other one way ticket from Philippines to other countries and leave Philippines within the first 30 days but come back to fly back to USA? Hope my question makes sense.
USA to Philippines (two way ticket) September 1 - December 1 but leave Philippines on September 21...
Philippines to Thailand (one way ticket) September 21-October 15
Thailand to Vietnam (one way ticket) October 15- November 2
Vietnam to Indonesia (one way ticket) November 2- November 24
Indonesia to Philippines (one way ticket) November 24
Leave Philippines to USA on December 1 (back using the original 2 way ticket)
AM I able to do that using the 30 day Visa?
Pag dual citizen po ba pwedeng magpa book ng one way lang.Thank you po
Pwede po

Yes.
hither. I am traveling from Dubai and I will stay in Malaysia for 5 nights before Ilanded in Philippines. so do I have to register before I leave from Dubai or can I do it before I leave from Malaysia?
I assume you'll leave the airport in Malaysia, as you will stay there in 5 days before you fly to the Philippines. So the best time to register to eTravel is when you are in Malaysia (which should also be your country of origin in your eTravel registration).
@@josepharanzanso3325 thank u so much
You should mention asean is part of 408.

I'm coming to the Philippines at the end of the month for two months from the US. I'm having trouble getting the right visa there are to many sites I don't know what one I should use can you help? please 🙏
Furthermore, the official website for applying Philippine visas online (before travel) is currently under maintenance and does not accept applications the last time I visited it.
I plan to visit for six weeks in the near future. I want to fly into Manilla and fly out of Davao and visit the areas in between. If I use a 30 day visa waiver but my booked return flight is for 6 wks later will that cause a problem?
You just have to pay for overstay, that’s we stayed 5 weeks na to pay for a month overstay fee (doesn’t matter if it’s only 3 days over)
Either get a return/onward ticket or pay the extension fees.
Covid 19 test / vaccination cards r no longer needed?
Today is May 31,2024 and l just finished watching this travel requirement you posted. My question is this. Do l need to get a visa from the Philippines’ Consulate here in Houston before l fly to stay in the Philippines for more than 3 months for vacation.
I have a round trip ticket from June to September of this year. Born in the Philippines but already a naturalized American citizen and have an American passport.
Just show your old Philippine passport (if you have one) when you travel here. Show it to the immigration officer upon arrival, so you can be given a 1 year stay under the Balikbayan visa. No need to apply for a visa prior to travel to the Philippines
I am a Balikbayan and I am travelling with a friend. It's her firs time to go to the Philippines. She wants to stay 8 weeks. As I understand, she won't be allowed because her return ticket is beyond 30 days. How do you go around it? We are both seniors. Thank you for your advise!
Hello, I have been living here in the Philippines for 3 years now. I came with my wife on the Balikbayan program so i have to exit every year then my visa is renewed upon my return. has that changed and will it change once the new immigration proposals become law later this year?
I have the same question
My son is flying here from America June 22...does he need a swab test?
No need, becayse the covid testing and vaccine requirement has been lifted since July 2023.
are (covid unvaccinated) foreign nationals (or former filipinos) still require to have PCR/rapid antigen before entry to the Philippines?
Not anymore. It has been abolished since July 2023.😊
No.
thank you so much ❤
Thank you for the information so far but unfortunately i couldnt see on the long list of countries you listed if the united kingdom needed visas for a 4 or 5 month stay i am retired i am 67 yrs old my wife is a philippine citizen and has never applied for british citizenship so she is still a philipino citizen we have been married for 36 years please advise if my british passport will be enough for a 3 or 4 month stay .
Since your wife is still a Filipina, she has the right to stay in the Philippines indefinitely. In your case, you only have to travel to the Philippines with your Filipina spouse and present your marriage license upon arrival, so you can be allowed to stay in the Philippines for 1 year under the Balikbayan visa.
Hi ma”am i watch your immigration information all the time.I am going to Philippines this coming august 20th.. but i only bought one way ticket just because i don’t know when i am going back here in the us, Im a a us citizen yes! I plan to use the balibayan visa 😊last march i was up there also.. I still have the pilipino passport with me. My really question is do i need to buy a round ticket ? Or not? Pls advise me thank you so much ❤
Thank you for the update. May I ask about registering for eTravel? eTravel asked for email account, which I have. But I have forgotten my own password. Clicking to 'forgot password ' could not help me to register again, as the response would turn to 'invalid account'. Next is MPIN 6-digit requirement after OTP. Where does one obtain MPIN? (I am a senior citizen and as I have enjoyed personal email, I have forgotten my own password.) Could the eTravel make things easier for simple log-in? Thank you again.
I think balikbayan (not dual) can stay 1 year, not just 30 days
Can my return ticket be a separate one-way ticket? I'm going to PH for less than 30 days and plan to purchase 1 one-way ticket to PH and two return tickets, so my fiancé and I can have the same itinerary. Is this ok to do or do I have to have a round-trip ticket? I really need to know.
They will often check your return ticket at the time of arrival. If you don't have one, they will not stamp your passport and you will not be able to enter the Philippines past the Immigration booth.
You must have a round trip or onward ticket (to a different country).
What kind of visa should a person get who wants to stay for 6 months to a year and works remote?
It depends on what country but usually it will be tourist visa but you must extend your visa before 30 days.
Question, My wife and I are both US citizens, but she is a former Filipino citizen. We plan on moving there in November and aren’t sure about the ticket purchase. When we go to fill out the etravel form, is it allowed to just buy a one way ticket since we will both get the 1 year balikbayan stamp when we arrive or are we required to purchase a round trip ticket? I would hate to spend the extra money since we plan on staying in the Philippines. Thanks
Hello Mam Jocelyn. My sister (a former filipino) along with her american husband and son will be traveling to the Phils. probably on Aug 31- Sept 14, 2024. Will they be required to accomplish the eTravel registration individually ?
If i have us visa on my passport do i get free philippine visa?
What is your nationality? Because among foreign nationals who normally require a visa before traveling to the Philippines, only Indians and Chinese will be exempted from visa requirements if in possession of a valid US visa.
Hi I'm traveling back to the Philippines may 29th from the USA does Korean Air except etravel? And can I get a onward ticket to Taiwan I'm a American citizen

2. Do we have to fill e-travel form while flying back from Philippines to my home country also?

For your first question, travel insurance is optional but recommended. For your second question, eTravel departure form is only required for Filipino citizens leaving the Philippines. Foreigners are only required to fill out the eTravel arrival form.

I don't have yet the 13A visa because i didn't get my NBI Clearance yet.
If you are traveling to the Philippines alone, a return or onward ticket is required (because you will be treated as a regular visitor). If you are traveling with your Filipino spouse, an outbound ticket is not required (because you will be allowed to stay for 1 year under the Balikbayan visa).
