Starting November 1, 2022, an eArrival Card will be required from all inbound travelers arriving in the Philippines prior to departure from their country of origin.
The Bureau of Quarantine observes an e-Arrival Card scan-and-go system in our airports for ease of travel. To ensure enjoyment of this, arriving travelers should register for an e-Arrival Card within 72 hours prior to their departure via onehealthpass.com.ph or by scanning the QR code indicated in the poster.
In response to the IATF directive the One Health Pass is officially replaced with the electronic ARRIVAL CARD (eARRIVAL CARD).
All travelers are encouraged to fill up the eARRIVAL CARD within 72 hours prior departure at the country of origin to avoid inconvenience upon arrival.
Registration is FREE OF CHARGE and neither require nor collect any online payment. BEWARE of fake, fraudulent, or a scam websites and entities who requires payment from the travelers.
