Why make it so difficult to go home to our mother country whom we love most. Other countries does not require E-Travel. Let us get ourselves together and turn these requirement around. Passports should be the official travel document. Most countries only check passports as required. Let’s relax these unnecessary requirement most travelers viewed as choking point. Let us all welcome all returning Filipinos to the Philippines.

[@user-uw8yj1xp8x]

you sound inconsistent, why you left your country in the first place if you love it most?

[@martw5306]

Just wondering what are needed for fillipina to come here in the US she has a tourist visa and been here before. But it’s been a few years

[@GuitarJams-zs7yf]

I heard you can get a 59 day visa on arrival. Do you pay for it at the airport? Do I need a 30 day return air ticket or can get a 59 day ticket? Is the 59 day guaranteed upon arrival?

[@tylersmith4676]

Is it still required to get a vaccine or show a negative test for COVID to gain entry? Thank you!

[@arnolddavidson5245]

Thank you, Jocelyn, for the update. What must I do to get the balikbayan privileges ahead of time?

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

You will get it when you arrive at the airport. Bring your old Ph passport or birth certificate.

[@angelinadaguio2573]

Dapat Tagalog para mas claro madam.

You are welcome!

Question po , Yung spouse ko ay American and I'm dual citizenship, husband ko ay planning to retire sa pilipinas, need pa ba nya ng SRRV visa?

[@OrangeBlossoms59]

Hi, my mom is a former Filipino and planning for 3 months stay as Balikbayan, do I need to get her an onward ticket and extend every month since 1 year stay is allowed. Or its better to get a definite 3 mos round trip ticket.? Thanks

[@chrisromero7716]

I will be there January 2025

[@jjjj-sk1xp]

hi po ask ko lang po kung filipino passport ka and my daughter is a foreign passport pwede po bang ipagisa na lang ang etravel as in iaadd ko na lang sya as a family member or gagawan ko po ba sya ng seperate na etravel? flight ko po kasi this month thanks for advance😊

[@Mr.JT.2114]

So if I am wearing a chain with a cross on it or if I'm wearing a watch and a ring do I have to declare that. And if I bring four bags of microwave popcorn do I have to declare that.

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

No.

[@Mr.JT.2114]

@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 thank you for the info I appreciate it

[@Excaliburhope]

Do Philippines passport holders need to complete the etravel form? Does my family have to as well if they do not have a Philippines passport?

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Yes, all passengers need to have etravel registration.

[@user-qf8bo1so4d]

Why there’s a lot of hassle to go home to the Philippines.? Not everybody knows how to do this.And what if you don’t have a gadget to use? And truthfully, I’m one that don’t understand computer…

[@lilys5095]

Ask help from family/friends.

[@maryannroldan1007]

Why do you have to take a photo on the etravel.

[@espeancayan7411]

Does my daughter needs to have a separate registration to Etravel if her departure date from the Philippines is different from us?

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Yes, if she has a different departure date then she needs a separate etravel.

[@gregoriolinchangco5077]

I am a dual citizen, can I use my old TAN(Tax acct. no.) or TIN(Tax identification no.), or should I apply for a new no. as a dual citizen?

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Hello. You can still use your old TIN because you are the same person.

[@josephinesolomon9018]

Hi ma'am how long do I wait for my interview? I already DQ since February 4,2022 and my priority date is December 16,2019 untill now I don't have scheduled for interview. My husband is a green card holder.. Can you help us ma'am. Can I talk to you through phone or messenger? Hoping for you're answer.. thank you so much ...

[@user-lg8oe5mf9h]

why is phil the only country with Etravel? they should get rid of this nonsense

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

I don’t think Philippines is getting rid of etravel soon. They are going digital with everything.

[@chaskaabraxas5314]

I am from the Bay Area and going to visit some friends in the Philippines for a month . I landed in Clark Airport and damn Immigration officers and the smart ass SG from a local company gave me a hardtime exiting . I dont want to elaborate wtf happened coz I just want to forget the whole incident even they hold me for an hour ! I will never ever go bk in that God forsaken place ! I just want to voice my experience dealing with unscrupulous people at the Immigration! Im retired US Navy 🇺🇸.

[@enjoylife1176]

It has always been a breeze for me at Clark.

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Oh wow…sorry for your experience.

[@jonbejar3682]

What's the purpose of the E-Travel I was there last year 2023 of September I went through the immigration they didn't bother asking they stamp my American passport and went through with no problem

[@AceDriver2012]

Its viewed more in usa me, wife and kids could not fly from usa airport unless we had that etravel it delayed are flight a day very annoying sigh. But once in Philippines we presented it no one cared lol.

[@yomama383]

It's electronically logged so there isn't any point of asking for it. Soon as they scan your passport it will show if you filled it out.

[@jennymcginnis3440]

Paano po Kong Ang 3 months of supply of medication ay walang resibo dahil insurance Ang nag bayad nito, anong amount Po ba Ang ilalagay sa declaration? Maraming salamat po.

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Meron pong amount sa insurance pag medication was picked up from pharmacy or just give an estimate if there is no receipt.

[@user-hn4fx5cf9h]

I will stay in the Philippines for more than a month, Do I have to show my US and Philippine Passport at the Philippine immigration at the airport?

[@yomama383]

Yes.

[@helensmith9800]

When you say children, are adult children included in the visa free for mire than 30 days

[@lilys5095]

If foreign kids are traveling with the Filipino/former Filipino parent, then by extension, they get the Balikbayan privilege as well as long as their country of citizenship is one of the countries listed in EO408.

[@eduardosantiago8818]

Can we prepare separate etravel for me and my wife to get separate QR Code

[@lilys5095]

Yes. You can.

[@Itong172]

" to the Philippines"

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

You are right 😅.

[@sirgigglez]

i hear 6 momths tourist visa is temperaly banned is that true?

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

It depends on your purpose.

[@felicidadkolb2130]

Gumawa ako ng etravel ka gabi kasi travel to Pinas ako bukas. Bakit tuwing ilagay ko arrival dapat Davao ang lumalabas arrival Cebu? At hindi ko ma change. Actually tama naman ang paglagay ko ng flight number ko. What is the problem? Ma question ba ako kung mali ang airport of arrival ko pagdating sa Pinas? Thanks!

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Hello po. You can still change and edit but kung walang Davao nag de default sa Cebu siguro.

[@felicidadkolb2130]

@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 Try ko 3 x ichange (Edit) to Davao, wala kasing option at kung ma release na ang QR code ang lalabas ay Mactan Cebu pa rin. Thinking kasi ang first stop ko from Münich > Doha (Qatar airways) to Cebu then Davao. Hinayaan ko na lang Pinas pa rin ang landing. Kung tanungin mag explain ako not my fault kasi nasa system link nila ang nasunod. Thanks

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

@@felicidadkolb2130 so ok lang po yan

[@lilys5095]

It is because local flights within PH are not included in Etravel. It only needs your PH port of entry.

[@noriehiposandersen5443]

Hi. How about if you don`t have a birth certificate, can I use my baptismal certificate? Pls let me know. Thank you.

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Hello. I don’t think baptismal certificate is acceptable.

[@lilys5095]

No. Baptismal certificate is not a legal document.
