e travel or one health pass

One Health Pass Philippines vs eTravel: What Is the Difference?

The travel declaration system in the Philippines has undergone several transformations to streamline the entry process for travelers amidst and post the COVID-19 pandemic.

his article aims to clarify this overhaul. Specifically, the transition from the One Health Pass registration to its successors, the eArrival card for the Philippines and the eTravel.

The One Health Pass as originally named is no longer in use, but you still need to make a travel declaration before visiting the Philippines.

Below, we provide all the information you need to navigate the changes of the Philippine Arrival Card system , ensuring a hassle-free journey.

What Was the One Health Pass for the Philippines?

Initially introduced as a COVID-19 measure, the One Health Pass served as a crucial document for travelers entering the Philippines.

The Philippines One Health Pass registration form facilitated health and safety protocols by requiring travelers to submit their health information before arrival.

Has the One Health Pass for the Philippines changed?

The Philippines Arrival Card/ travel declaration was first introduced as a COVID-19 measure and has changed names several times since.

The document was originally named the One Health Pass for the Philippines. It was then renamed the eArrival Card in October 2022 .

This changed again in December 2023. It is now called the One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System or eTravel .

Timeline of name changes to the One Health Pass

What replaced the one health pass for the philippines.

The One-sTop eTravel Declaration has replaced the One Health Pass as the official travel declaration document for entering the Philippines.

Whenever you see one of these names — One Health Pass, eTravel, One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System, or eArrival Card for the Philippines — they are referring to the same online declaration .

Registration is now a permanent entry requirement for Japanese citizens and all other international visitors entering the country. You must apply before entering the Philippines. You can register right here with EasyPhPass .

What Is the Philippines One Health Pass Now?

The document formerly known as the One Health Pass has evolved into the eTravel Arrival Card for the Philippines. This change is part of the country’s efforts to enhance travel safety and efficiency.

The eTravel, like with its predecessors the One Health Pass and eArrival Card, is a mandatory requirement for entry . However, It is faster to use and more simplified than previous Arrival Card for the Philippines forms.

Do I Complete the eTravel Form the Same Way as the One Health Pass?

The Philippines One Health Pass registration form was discontinued in October 2022 and the eArrival Card registration in December 2022. You now have to complete an eTravel registration form. However, it is very similar to the previous iterations.

To complete your eTravel registration, visit the official EasyPhPass website . The process involves filling out a simple form with your personal and travel information.

Make sure you do this within 72 hours of your arrival in the Philippines to meet the entry requirements. Please note that each Philippine Arrival Card is only valid for a single entry to the country .

If you plan to visit the Philippines multiple times, you’ll need to register with eTravel for each entry .

Information Requirements for the One Health Pass (now eTravel) for the Philippines

To successfully complete the eTravel form online, you need to supply the following :

• Personal Information: Including full name, date of birth, and citizenship
• Passport data. Including document number, passport issuing country, and dates of issue and expiry
• Contact Information: Including email address and mobile/cell phone number
• Travel details: You need to indicate the date of arrival in the Philippines

After completing the processing payment for the Philippine Arrival Card, you’ll be asked to supply some additional information . This includes:

• The purpose of the trip
• Your occupation
• The type of transport you’ll be using 
• The flight/vessel number
• Your port of arrival
• Your home address
• Your address/contact in the Philippines

You also need to provide information about your current health status . This includes if you have had contact with any disease or have been sick in the past 30 days.

Please note this additional information does not need to be submitted at the time of the initial application . You can do it later by clicking a link on the confirmation email we send. However, you need to supply it before your arrival.

How do I know if my OHP (eTravel) to enter the Philippines is approved?

Similar to the previous One Health Pass download, you receive a QR code upon completing the eTravel registration . Once we receive all your information, we send it by email.

This code is essential for entry to the Philippines and must be presented upon arrival . If you encounter any issues or do not receive your QR code, contact the EasyPhPass support team immediately for assistance.

How to Accomplish eTRAVEL Form for Philippine Departure and Arrival

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

What is eTravel?

The eTravel form is an online form used to collect personal and travel information from passengers entering and exiting the Philippines for the purpose of immigration, border control, data analysis, and health surveillance. It serves as your departure/arrival card, health declaration, and contact tracing form.

It was first implemented at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce physical contact between the passengers and airport personnel, replacing the traditional paper departure cards. Today, no more pandemic, but it has remained in use.

Who are required to accomplish the eTravel form?

Most travelers are required to complete and submit the form, including the following:

• arriving Filipinos and foreign nationals
• departing Filipinos

Adults and children alike falling under these two categories must submit an eTravel form. That covers most travelers.

I say “most” because, as you can see, it does not include departing foreigners. The following are also exempted from submitting eTravel:

• foreign diplomats and dependents
• foreign dignitaries and members of delegation
• 9(e) visa holders
• holders of diplomatic and official/service passport

The eTravel form must be completed and submitted as early as 72 hours (3 days) before your departure from the Philippines or expected arrival time in the Philippines.

If you’re traveling with family, you can also complete this form on behalf of your family members.

How to Create an eTravel Account

Whether you’re outbound or inbound traveler, the first step is to create an account, if you don’t have one yet. You can do so in two ways:

• the official eTravel website: etravel.gov.ph
• the official eGovPH app: Android , iOS (Apple)

If you have traveled internationally and submitted an eTravel form before 2024, it doesn’t mean that you automatically have an account. Prior to 2024, creating an account was not a requirement. One could simply accomplish the form and submit without having to sign up for an account. However, in early 2024, this has become mandatory. Don’t worry. It does feel like a lot of work in the beginning, but it will make your subsequent submissions a breeze because, unlike before, the system is now able to save your personal details and automatically fill in some of the fields with pre-saved data.

If you don’t have an account yet, here’s how:

• Visit the etravel.gov.ph/authentication . This is the official sign-up page. Make sure you’re on the right website.
• Enter a valid email address. Make sure it’s correct because the system will be sending a one-time password (OTP) to this email address.
• Enter the OTP. Check your email to retrieve it. It should have 6 digits.
• Create a password. The password must have at least 8 characters, with at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter. Re-enter your password to confirm.
• Enter your personal information. The system will ask for the following: – Full name – Sex – Birth date – Mobile number – Citizenship – Country of birth – Passport number Tap NEXT.

• Enter your residential address. Click NEXT after.
• Review all the information you entered. The system will show you a summary of your details. If every thing is correct, hit SUBMIT.

That’s it! You now have an eTravel account!

Using this account, you can register a trip for yourself and even family members.

Now, it’s time to register your trip.

How to Accomplish eTravel for DEPARTING Passengers

Now that you have an account, all you need to do is register your upcoming trip. Every time you do so, you’ll be asked if you’re completing the form for yourself or for a family member. (Yes, you can submit a form on their behalf.) You’ll also be asked if it’s for ARRIVAL or DEPARTURE.

This section is for DEPARTURE , i.e. for those flying OUT of the Philippines. This applies to all Filipino passengers and crewmembers. Foreign nationals departing the Philippines do not need to register their departure trip.

Here’s how to register a departure trip:

• Select whether you’re accomplishing the form for yourself or a family member. You should also select whether you’re traveling by air or by sea. Let’s assume you’re flying, so choose AIR.
• Choose DEPARTURE (Leaving the Philippines). Make sure you select the right one! Then click CONTINUE.
• Enter your travel details, including the following: – Your occupation . Select the industry closest to yours) – Purpose of travel . If you’re traveling as a tourist, choose HOLIDAY/PLEASURE/VACATION. Other choices are OFW, Convention/Conference, Education/Training/Studies, Religion/Pilgrimage, and Transit. Just pick what applies to you.. – Traveler type . Choose AIRCRAFT PASSENGER. – Destination country and address . If you’re staying at a hotel, enter your hotel’s address. If you’re staying with someone else, type their address.
• Enter your flight information. Provide the following details: – Date of departure – Name of airline – Flight number – Airport of departure. If flying out of Manila, choose NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (MNL). But make sure you pick the right terminal, too. – Seat number (optional) Click NEXT.
• Review your details. You’ll be shown a summary of all the info you entered. Make sure everything is correct. If so, click SUBMIT.
• Save or take a screenshot of your eTravel QR code. This will also be sent to the email address you used.

That’s it! All your information will also be sent to the Immigration Officer’s database. In most cases, they won’t even ask to see your QR code because they can already see it on their screen as you clear Immigration Check.

How to Accomplish eTravel for ARRIVING Passengers

Assuming you already have an eTravel account, you only need to register your trip. For ARRIVAL registration, all passengers — Filipinos and foreigners alike — must complete and submit an ARRIVAL eTravel form. Just follow these steps.

• Choose ARRIVAL (Entering the Philippines). Make sure you select the right one! Then click CONTINUE.
• Enter your travel details, including the following: – Your occupation. Select the industry closest to yours) – Purpose of travel. If you live in the Philippines and you just went abroad for business or holiday, choose RETURNING RESIDENT. Other options are OFW, Convention/Conference, Education/Training/Studies, Religion/Pilgrimage, and Transit. Just pick what applies to you. – Traveler type. Choose AIRCRAFT PASSENGER. – Country of origin. This is the country where you will be flying from.
• Enter your address in the Philippines. Choose where you will be staying in the Philippines: Residence, Hotel/Resort, or Transit. Once you select, type in the address of your residence or hotel, whichever is applicable.
• Enter your flight information. Provide the following details: – Date of arrival – Name of airline – Flight number – Airport of arrival. If flying to Manila, choose NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (MNL). But make sure you pick the right terminal, too. – Seat number (optional) Click NEXT.
• Fill out the Health Declaration Form. Enter all the countries you have visited within the past 30 days. You’ll also be asked if you have been sick, have experienced symptoms, or have been exposed to someone with symptoms within the past 30 days. After answering all the items, click NEXT.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I want to change something after generating the qr code. how to correct it.

You can still edit your info if you noticed a typo error or you entered wrong data. However, note that you can only do this BEFORE it gets validated or verified by the BOQ officer upon your arrival sa Pilipinas. Ensure that you make your corrections before your flight to the Philippines.

To do this, just go to the main page or home page of eTravel, then click the UPDATE REGISTRATION button. Provide your reference number or transaction number and birth date.

At what point of the airport process should I present the QR code?

In most cases, you won’t be asked to present this at any point. But it doesn’t mean you can skip it. The Immigration Officer can see on their screens if you’ve accomplished this form.

• If they see that you have, they usually won’t ask for it.
• If they can’t find your eTravel for this trip, they will ask you to step aside and accomplish one at the tablet station nearby.

Do I have to pay for eTravel QR Code? How much is the charge?

No, you don’t need to pay anything for the eTravel QR Code. It is FREE of charge. If you landed on a website requiring you to pay for the service, it’s definitely a scam.

I’m traveling with family. Does every one of us need to accomplish eTravel?

YES and NO. YES, every member of the family on your trip must have an eTravel record, but not everyone needs to create an account. One member can create an account and then they can register all the accompanying family members under that one account. I’ve done it myself for my mother and sister on our most recent trip, and we didn’t encounter any problem.

Note that this does not apply to friends, colleagues, or romantic partners. If you’re not family, each of you must create an account.

Is there a Tagalog version of this article?

We will be publishing a Tagalog video version of this on our YouTube channel .

Do I still need to accomplish One Health Pass and eArrival Card?

No need. The eTravel has officially replaced the now obsolete One Health Pass and eArrival Card starting 2 December 2022.

To be honest, all these systems are very similar. The changes are not too drastic. Some items were removed such as the Philhealth Number, and then some required items are now optional. The noticeable difference is not really the content but the appearance or the user interface.

Philippine Travel Information System

Announcement

You may only register within 72 hours prior to your arrival or departure in the Philippines. Travelers are enjoined to present their eTravel QR code to flight boarding.

Update Existing Record

Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System

Initiative of the Government of the Philippines:

Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System

All passengers traveling to the Philippines must complete an electronic travel declaration both ahead of their journey and before departing the country.

The Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration (previously called eTravel) replaces the eArrival Card ( originally the One Health Pass ) and the paper-based departure card.

The one-stop declaration requires less information and simplifies the process of authorizing your arrival in and departure from the Philippines and providing your health declaration.

Note that the eTravel declaration is not a visa or eTA . Passengers who require a visa or Philippines eTA must have both a visa/eTA and one-stop authorization. Visa-exempt travelers will still need to complete the One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration .

What Is the One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration for the Philippines?

Electronic travel registration includes providing a health declaration and information about the trip.

The data collected from eTravel enables Filipino authorities to perform contact tracing in the event that a traveler is found to have an infectious disease. In this way, it is an important measure to protect public health for both residents and visitors.

You must register with eTravel online before any trip to the Philippines , as well as before departure from the country . Once completed, you will receive a QR code or barcode to present on arrival or departure.

The declaration is the latest iteration of the Philippines’ digital health form. It has replaced the eArrival Card, which, in turn, replaced the One Health Pass. The original name for the form was the e-CIF. It also replaces the paper-based departure card.

The one-stop registration is now the only required health form . The eArrival Card, One Health Pass, and e-CIF are no longer in use.

How to Complete eTravel Declaration for the Philippines

Passengers register the Philippines eTravel declaration online. This is done through a web-based portal rather than a mobile app.

The registration involves completing a short online form with the requested information.

This can be done using a personal computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet, or other device connected to the internet.

The one-stop declaration form

The form asks for the following details:

• Basic personal details
• Travel plans
• Accommodation
• Vaccination status

There are fewer questions than on previous Filipino online health forms. The new form is more streamlined and quicker to complete .

Once the details are submitted, a QR code is generated .

Who Needs the Philippines eTravel Declaration?

All passengers entering or departing the Philippines must present a QR code or barcode from the one-stop declaration.

This includes:

• Foreign residents of the Philippines
• Filipino nationals

Travelers of all nationalities are required to complete a declaration for the Philippines. It is required for all purposes of travel, including transit through the country, and is also needed for departure.

Each traveler must complete a separate form . It is not possible to include multiple individuals on one form.

Do children need the one-stop declaration for the Philippines?

Yes, all travelers, including minors and infants , must have their own eTravel QR code/barcode on arrival/departure.

Parents or guardians may complete the online form on behalf of their dependents.

When Can I Complete the Philippines Electronic Travel Declaration?

Passengers should complete the registration process in the days leading up to their trip.

The information will be submitted for processing a maximum of 72 hours before traveling to the Philippines or departing from the country.

Can I Use the Same One-Stop eTravel Declaration More than Once?

No, the eTravel declaration is valid for a single use only .

The QR code can only be used to board a flight to/from the Philippines within 72 hours of completing the online form. Once it is scanned by a border officer on arrival/departure, it cannot be reused .

Each time you travel to or from the Philippines, you will need to register with the Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System..

Traveling to the Philippines With the One-Stop Declaration

After completing the online form, print or take a screenshot of the QR code or barcode . This is required to board a flight to or from the Philippines and must be shown to a Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) officer on arrival or departure.

Passengers may present their QR or barcode in one of the following ways:

• Printed copy
• Digital copy on a smartphone or device

eTravel QR code or barcode?

The passenger will be issued with a QR code as long as the information provided:

• Is complete
• Meets the entry protocols

Travelers with a QR code will be able to use the "Express Lane" on arrival or when departing. This means that all they need to do is scan the code on arrival/departure. There is usually no further interview or checking of health-related documents.

The individual will be issued with a barcode in the following circumstances:

• The information provided during one-stop registration is incomplete
• The individual’s details or health documents require further checks

Upon arrival in the Philippines, they will be interviewed by a BOQ officer . Here, the information and documents will be checked. It may be determined that the individual will need to quarantine or undergo other measures.

eTravel to replace One Health Pass, e-Arrival Card

eTravel Declaration System. Photo from etravel.gov.ph

The government on Friday launched eTravel, an online site for the arrival information and health declaration checklist of inbound travelers, Malacañang announced.

This is the third automated process for travelers and returning overseas Filipinos since One Health Pass was implemented in September last year.

Due to online complaints, the government replaced the One Health Pass with the eArrival Card which was issued to incoming travelers within 72 hours of their departure through the same website www.onehealthpass.com.ph.

‘Streamline’ entry procedures

But starting Dec. 2, the One Health Pass website will no longer be available and inbound passengers accessing the website will be redirected to the new portal etravel.gov.ph.

The Office of the Press Secretary said the new website was meant “to streamline” the country’s entry procedures and data collection processes.

Travelers will need to provide their health, personal and flight details in the platform within 72 hours before their flight. This will also be the new contact tracing platform that will monitor if travelers have any ailment or disease to be monitored, not just COVID-19.

After filling out the forms, a QR code will be provided which will serve as their health declaration upon arrival. The new platform will also contain the digital version of the arrival cards (contact tracing forms, health declaration forms) as the Bureau of Immigration (BI) will discontinue using paper arrival cards by Dec. 5.

“The arrival cards and the One Health Pass were basically merged into one system. It’s very helpful for travelers, they don’t have to fill up so many forms asking the same thing over and over again” Dana Sandoval, the BI spokesperson, told the Inquirer.

E-travel is a project of the Department of Tourism, Department of Finance and BI.

One Health Pass (OHP): Travelers’ guide to Philippines’ travel pass

As the pandemic ebbs and flows, countries around the world have taken a variety of precautions to ensure safe travel. While most travel restrictions in the Philippines have been eased, passengers must still submit necessary documents, including details of their stay and medical conditions.

The One Health Pass is currently a “must” travel requirement in the Philippines. Here’s all you need to know about the Philippines’ One Health Pass.

What is One Health Pass?

One Health Pass (OHP) is an online platform aimed at making international travel to and from the Philippines more convenient and seamless for those arriving at Philippine airports, including Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) and Clark International Airport. The website for the OHP is https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph

After electronically submitting the OHP or the electronic Health Declaration Card (eHDC), you will be given an OHP personal QR code.

Before boarding your flight and traveling to the Philippines, you will require this QR code. You must show this QR code when you arrive in the Philippines to have your submission and data verified.

The One Health Pass is currently only accessible online. It is a mobile-responsive information system and a web-based online platform. All you need to utilize the OHP is a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or personal computer. The OHP can be accessed through a mobile or computer browser.

W ho is required to sign up for One Health Pass?

The One Health Pass registration system is required for all international visitors to the Philippines. This applies to the following:

• Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
• Foreign nationals

All international passengers, regardless of nationality or profession, must register for the One Health Pass and submit a QR code to authorities.

What documents are needed?

The online system is primarily used for data collection. You must supply correct and vital information about your health and personal background, as your information will be transmitted to the local government, from which you will return.

You must go online to https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC/ to complete this activity. Your passport, plane ticket, and immunization card must all be presented at the airport. So bring these items with you on your trip and when you arrive at the airport.

You can fill out the health pass information the day before or on the day of your journey, then print it out to present at the airport and when you arrive in the Philippines. The procedure is outlined in detail below.

OHP Registration Process:

Here is the link on how to register.

Prior arrival time

Step 1: Visit https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC/ to register for the One Health Pass (OHP) and keep track of your transaction number.

Non-OFWs and foreign nationals must plan a 10-day stay at an authorized Quarantine Hotel in advance. This is in accordance with IATF Resolution No. 159.

International arriving travelers may be exempt from mandatory facility-based quarantine as of 2022 if they:

• are able to provide a negative Reverse Transcription – Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test done within 48 hours of leaving their home country.
• are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have the following proofs of immunization approved by the IATF:
• Certificates of vaccination and prophylaxis issued by the World Health Organization; or Unless otherwise approved by the IATF,
• a foreign government’s national/state digital certificate that has accepted
• VaxCertPH under a reciprocal agreement.

The obligatory RT-PCR Test on arrival can be scheduled and paid for ahead of time through the Philippine Airport Diagnostic Laboratory (PADLAB), or it can be done on the spot.

Step 2: On the day of departure, access the website mentioned above and enter your transaction number to get your One Health Pass (OHP) QR Code, which you must produce at the airport while checking in.

Please keep in mind that only QR codes created on the day of the flight will be accepted.

Receive QR code for One Health Pass

Only after successfully submitting your eHDC will you receive your OHP personal QR code. When your eHDC is successfully submitted, you will see a notification. To be sure you have a copy of this QR code, snap a screenshot or print it.

Your Arrival  Step 3: At the arrival gate, show your QR code from your One Health Pass (OHP).

Step 4: Present your OHP QR Code at the appropriate briefing location listed below:

• DOT Help Desk for Foreigners and Non-OFWs
• OWWA Help Desk for Land-based OFWs
• Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) Help Desk for OFWs who work at sea

Step 5: Prior to baggage claim and customs inspection, visit the Bureau of Immigration for clearance.

Step 6: Follow the steps below to get to your transportation service:

• Non-OFWs and foreigners: take a taxi from the airport
• OWWA Bus for land-based OFWs
• Local Manning Agency (LMA) Transportation for OFWs stationed at sea

On the OHP portal, you will receive your COVID-19 test result as well as your quarantine certificate after you have completed your quarantine period. The One Health Pass System will then notify your local government unit that your quarantine period has ended and that you are now free to travel.

Validity of One Health Pass

Only three days prior to your departure date can you register. If your registration date is not within three days of your actual arrival date, your information will be considered invalid.

Verification of One Health Pass swab test results

You will be able to schedule your swab test after successfully registering with the One Health Pass system. By going to the ‘My Profile’ section of the OHP website, you may see your swab schedule.

You can check if your swab test result has been validated once you’ve been swabbed. To do so, visit the ‘Track Swab Test’ portal and enter your QR code number as well as your last name.

Is it possible to make changes to my One Health Pass account?

You can still modify your data if you made a mistake during your eHDC submission or want to change your arrival date, address, or other personal information if it hasn’t been confirmed by OSS-TGMROF. This can be done by going to ‘My Profile’.

You will not be able to alter your data after it has been verified by BOQ. If this is the case, your request should be directed to the OSS Monitoring and Action Center (OSS MAC). You can reach them at [email protected], Globe: 0906-236-9425, Smart or Viber: 0968-681-2217

Your modifications may take some time to take effect because proper validation of your request is required.

One BOQ certificate (Health Pass)

Your Unified BOQ Quarantine Certificate has generated automatically via the One Health Pass site once your RT-PCR test is deemed negative. By simply inputting your QR code number and last name on the OHP website, you will be able to download and print your certificate.

Benefits and features

Travelers would no longer need to complete a lot of paperwork if the One Health Pass system was implemented, reducing their stay and waiting time at the airport’s holding area. This reduces their exposure to others in the area, preventing them from catching the virus, which is especially important for individuals who will be returning home to their families.

Starting September 1, 2021, the Philippine Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) will strictly require all arriving international travellers to present their ONE HEALTH PASS Quick Response (QR) Code prior to boarding their flights to the Philippines, particularly to Manila, Laoag, and Davao.

The  Philippine News Agency  reported that all information would be passed on to concerned government agencies such as the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, Department of Tourism, Maritime Industry Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, and Overseas Shipping Service.

Who needs to get the One Health Pass QR Code?

• All international passengers arriving in Manila, Laoag, and Davao
• Returning overseas Filipinos, Non-OFWs, Balikbayans, and foreigners
• All ages, noting that each child must have his/her own form.

Inbound passengers must first register to the Electronic Health Declaration Checklist (E-HDC) at least five (5) days before the flight to the Philippines to get the One Health Pass QR Code. Continue reading below for the E-HDC registration.

Secure your E-HDC Transaction Number

STEP 1 : Go to onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC and click ‘ Ok ‘

The following steps below will be intended for non-OFWs travellers. If you haven’t registered with One Health Pass or Balikpinas.ph, click ‘ No ‘

Click ‘ No ‘ to proceed to the Registration Form

STEP 2: Fill out the One Health Pass registration form, including your personal information, residence details, travel details, and vaccine information. All the fields in red and with an asterisk (*) must be filled out or answered. Make sure to provide the correct information as “incorrect information may lead to delays in your release from quarantine.”

STEP 3: Tick the box after reading the ‘ Data Privacy and Affidavit of Undertaking ‘ before clicking ‘ Submit ‘

IMPORTANT! Screenshot or take note of your Transaction number . This will serve as your reference number when you fill out your e-HDC again at the departure airport. However, in case you lost your copy, travellers may recover it via email.

Meanwhile, for those who haven’t done their swabbed test yet, click ‘ Proceed To E-CIF Registration ‘ to pre-register for the RT-PCR test in Manila.

Generate your One Health Pass QR Code

You may only generate your One Health pass QR Code on the day of your flight.

STEP 1: Go to onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC and click ‘ Yes ‘ to the question ‘ Have you already registered with One Health Pass / Balikpinas.ph? ‘

STEP 2: Enter your Transaction Number and Last Name and click ‘Search’

STEP 3: Once you access your E-HDC information, scroll down and check for unfilled or answered boxes. Some of these might be:

• Seat/Bed No.
• Countries worked / visited / transited for the last 30 days
• COVID-19 Exposure history
• Clinical information
• Comorbidities

STEP 4: Don’t forget to read and tick ‘ Agree ‘ before submitting

STEP 5: Once done, your QR Code will now be generated. You may opt to screenshot the QR Code or print it for easy access. In case you lost it, you will have a copy via email. This QR Code will be required upon arrival in the Philippines.

ETravel Platform To Replace One Health Pass

Contributor

• Health declarations, including information on vaccination history.

Travelers will then receive a green QR code that can be used for express entry into the country. If the traveler receives a red code, the traveler will be required to undergo an interview upon arrival and may be required to undergo a quarantine period.

What are the Changes?

The government of the Philippines launched a new eTravel platform to track entry into the country and traveler vaccination history. According to the government, the new platform will consolidate all data collection processes at entry ports into the country.

How to Register in One Health Pass Philippines Online – Philippine Travel Pass

UPDATE: As of December 1, 2022, the new arrival card registration system for travelers to the Philippines is now called eTravel Registration. Please check out our guide on how to process it here – How to Process eTravel Card Registration Philippines

So please do not use One Health Pass or the eArrival Card system anymore. You should apply and register via eTravel Registration.

Note: One Health Pass has been replaced with eArrival Card Philippines. Please check the details about it here – How to Apply eArrival Card Philippines

All international passengers arriving in the Philippines, be advised that it is mandatory to register in the One Health Pass online. This applies to OFWs , non-OFWs, and Foreign Nationals – meaning all Philippine-bound passengers arriving from abroad, whatever your nationality or profession, you should apply for the One Health Pass registration to get a QR code and present it to authorities. Below are the details on the requirements and step-by-step procedure of this OHP process.

With more overseas Filipinos returning to the country due to the rise in COVID cases worldwide, authorities in the Philippines are looking for ways to accommodate them as quickly and conveniently as possible. One way they do this is through the One Health Pass Registration. Haven’t heard of it? Well, it’s about time you get yourself familiar with this system implemented by the Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) .

The BOQ confirmed that beginning September 1 , airports and entry points in the country will implement the use of One Health Pass for travellers and returning Filipinos. If you belong to any of these identified groups targeted to use the new app, then make sure to read the rest of this guide.

Table of Contents

Access OneHealthPass COM PH Website – OneHealthPass.COM.PH

The Philippines, as do most countries in the world, now aim to create a system that would streamline the travel protocols, system, as well as documents, to ensure the safety of everyone coming in and going out of the country, which includes our overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) .

Be advised that the official website for this new registration system can be located in this link – onehealthpass.com.ph

WARNING: Be careful of fraudulent websites and fake pages that may represent the One Health Pass from the Philippine Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ). This is a new system and it is strictly required for all arriving travelers from international flights to present their One Health Pass QR Code prior to boarding their flights to the Philippines. So please make sure to transact only to the official website.

What is One Health Pass Philippines?

One Health Pass is an online system that streamlines all processes and gathering of data required for those travelling to and from the Philippines. It has been on pilot testing since mid-August and is fully implemented nationwide that started in September.

Requirements

The online system is mainly used for data gathering purposes, so you would need to provide accurate and critical information related to your health and personal background, as your data would then be transmitted to the local government, where you would be going back.

To accomplish this task, you would need to go online and fill out the health declaration and registration form at   https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC/ . You also need to present your travel documents at the airport, such as your passport, plane ticket, and vaccination card (a screenshot will do). So keep these things on hand for your departure and upon arrival.

Qualifications

According to the Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ), all travellers (Filipinos and Foreigners) arriving in Philippine airports will be subject to this new system starting September 1, 2021 . So whether for work or travel, sea- or land-based, all Filipinos planning to leave or return to the country must sign up on this system to ensure a smooth travel experience.

Features and Benefits

With the implementation of the One Health Pass system, travellers would no longer need to accomplish a lot of paperwork, thus shortening their stay and waiting time at the airport’s holding area. This limits their exposure to others in the vicinity, keeping them safe from contracting the virus, especially for those who will be coming back home to their families.

This digital platform is convenient to use because you will only need an internet connection, which is also provided at the airport (free). And you can access it wherever you may be, whether you’re on mobile, in transit, or even before boarding the plane back home.

Seamless tracking, monitoring, and record-keeping: The system also ensures that all your information will be stored safely in a cloud, which can be easily transmitted to your LGU, so you will no longer have to redo any of the processes, especially involving data-gathering, verification by BOQ, and confirmation. You can simply focus on keeping yourself safe (during quarantine) and return home to your families with peace of mind.

The same goes for outgoing Filipinos who will be returning to their work abroad. This process can lessen the hassle of going back and forth with your agencies, to ensure that all of your records have been properly collected. You can simply focus on keeping yourself healthy during quarantine, in preparation for your return to work.

Guide to One Health Pass Registration Process Online (7 Steps)

Please note that this One Health Pass is a requirement to ALL passengers arriving in the Philippines. Whether you are an OFW, a non-OFW, a foreign national, you MUST register in this system. Below is a guide on how to apply for the One Health Pass and get your QR code:

Before Departure

Step 1: Travelers arriving in the country may log in to the One Health Pass portal ( https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC/ ) , and get a transaction number at least three (3) days before their trip to the Philippines.

Important : Non-OFWs and foreign nationals must have a pre-booked accredited Quarantine Hotel for ten days. To know which ones you can book at, you may visit www.onehealthpass.com.ph/quarantinehotels/ to get the list of accredited hotels. OFWs will be sponsored by OWWA.  

Step 2: Once your record has been accepted in the system, take a screenshot of your QR code. You need to present this at the airport upon your arrival in the Philippines. Thus, it’s best to register before you arrive in the country to ensure seamless processing.

Step 3: Within 24 hours or before you board your flight, you will need to fill out a health declaration checklist.

At the Airport

Step 4: Upon arrival, present your OHP personal QR code for arrival and hotel assignment. You will then be instructed to attend an orientation facilitated by an immigration officer before you will be given an immigration clearance and head over to the quarantine hotel.

Step 5: Proceed to the Bureau of Immigration for arrival clearance then to the baggage claims and customs inspection.

* The One Health Pass System will then notify your local government unit that you have completed your quarantine period and you have been cleared for travel abroad.

Step 6: Take the accredited or arranged transport service.

Step 7: After you finish your quarantine period, you will be given your COVID-19 test result as well as your quarantine certificate.

• Airport Taxi: Non-OFW and foreigners
• OWWA Bus: OFW Land-based
• LMA: OFW sea-based (seafarers)

Here is a short instructional guide on how you can properly fill out the Registration and Health Declaration checklist via the One Health Pass. Take note of the asterisked (*) fields so you would be able to provide all the necessary and accurate information required by the system. Also, it’s important to distinguish if you are an OFW or a vacationing overseas Filipino because your hotel/quarantine facility will be determined and assigned by OWWA.

In line with this, here’s a friendly reminder for OFWs to always keep their OWWA member status ACTIVE because one of the benefits you can get during this time is the support and assistance for your accommodation and supplies during your quarantine period in the Philippines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions and answers about the OneHealthPass Philippines registration. Please be guided accordingly:

1. Do I need to pay for anything to register in the OneHealthPass system?

No, you do not need to pay to register on the system. You will only need to provide information online and submit your data for record-keeping, tracking, and monitoring purposes at the national and local level throughout your journey back or upon exit from the country.

Therefore, you need to provide recent and accurate information regarding your work, health, and status as an OFW/Filipino citizen.

2. When do I need to accomplish this registration on the system?

Ideally, you can do this before boarding your flight. However, three days before your scheduled flight , you can already sign up in the system. The latest you can accomplish this is upon arrival at the airport. The health declaration form must be accomplished at least 24 hours before your flight.

Be sure to bring a copy of your vaccination certificate issued from the place you’re travelling from. A screenshot of the physical or digital copy of the certificate will do.

3. Do I still need to present any documents at the airport upon arrival?

Yes, usual documents such as passports, plane tickets, and now your vaccine certificate need to be presented at the airport upon arrival. It’s important that you fill out the registration as well as the health declaration form on the One Health Pass website so that you won’t have to take much longer staying at the airport, because you may still accomplish these forms upon arrival – better do it early and in the safety of your home (up to three days before your arrival in the Philippines).

4. Do I need to download an app to register in the One Health Pass?

The One Health Pass is an online system, where you can input all of your personal, travel, as well as health information, including your vaccination status. All of this information will be stored in the system which can be accessed by authorities at the airport as well as those who will receive you in your hometown or local government unit.

5. I am not an OFW, but a vacationing Filipino national. Do I still need to register in the system?

Yes, the form in the system must be accomplished by all travellers who are entering or leaving the Philippines, whether for work or other purposes. OFWs must be careful to indicate this in the form because the OWWA will designate a quarantine facility/hotel for them to stay in.

All other travellers must indicate in their form that they are traveling to the Philippines on their own accord and will shoulder the expenses this might entail as per local government requirements.

6. I am NOT an OFW, but a foreign national. Am I exempt from registering in One Health Pass?

No. According to the latest reports, ALL passengers arriving in the Philippines is required to fill out the One Health Pass registration. Whether you are a Filipino or a foreigner, and you are entering the Philippines, you must also register.

7. How do I get the One Health Pass QR Code?

You will get the QR code once you have successfully registered in the One Health Pass. You can use the QR code easily when presenting it to authorities upon arrival in the Philippines.

There’s been a lot of changes as to the requirements for inbound and outbound travels lately, so it’s important that you remain updated as to what you need to secure for your travel, especially if it is for work. There are many countries that now allow entry of Filipinos to their borders for work, such as Hong Kong , Kuwait , and other countries in the Middle East .

While this is good news, there are still numerous requirements you must accomplish to ensure a smooth exit from the Philippines and entry into these countries. Be sure to stay updated with all these things.

This replaces the existing One Health Pass, done via app or website, which is the current health data form requirement for arriving international passengers.

Passengers can fill up the eArrival Card within 72 hours prior to their arrival in the Philippines.

According to a statement on the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) website published on Friday, October 21, the new eArrival Card is “simpler” and removes unnecessary questions from the health declaration form.

“Compared to the previous OHP system, the eArrival Card also removes unnecessary information fields, allowing the easier and faster completion of the traveler registration process. For instance, tourism-related fields were significantly cut by half, from 20 items under the OHP to now less than 10 items in the eArrival Card,” the DOT said.

The DOT said questions such as the traveler’s occupation and educational attainment were removed.

It also said those who were unable to complete the forms prior to departure or were unaware of the requirement can accomplish it upon arrival with assistance from Bureau of Quarantine staff.

The Philippines opened its borders to fully vaccinated tourists in February and foreigners last April . It stopped requiring RT-PCR and antigen tests last May 30. – Rappler.com
