The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has issued guidelines for international travelers' entry and exit in the light of the Malacañang decision to lift the nationwide Covid-19 health emergency.
In a statement, BI said Inbound foreign tourists and temporary visitors must present passports valid for at least six months and/or a valid visa, unless they are re entitled to visa-free entry.
Additionally, they should have a valid return ticket, unless they are foreign spouses, children of returning Filipinos, or former citizens with Balikbayan privileges.
Foreign immigrants and non-immigrants are required to present their ACR I-Card, except for holders of 9A visa (business) during both arrival and departure inspection.
Arriving Filipino and foreign passengers, as well as plane crew members, along with departing Filipinos, are mandated to register through the eTravel System (eTravel.gov.ph).
However, foreign dignitaries and their dependents, as well as 9E (foreign government officials), are exempt from electronic registration requirement.
