    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.

    • @josepharanzanso3325
      @josepharanzanso3325 Před 2 měsíci +1

      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.

    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.

    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)

    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

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).

I called the Consulate and was told that I can stay in the Philippines up to one year if I travel with my spouse. I wasn’t given any more details, so I want to know how that works. Do I need to apply for 59 days and keep extending each month? Or do I simply book two round trip tickets and everything is okay? I’m a bit confused about how this works. Thank you for your response.

      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. 👍

      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
