Dear janine,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated May 15, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Hayya card Tourist visa.

Response to your request



•	FILIPINO, FOREIGN and CREW MEMBERS:
All passengers and crewmembers arriving into the Philippines are required to register through etravel.gov.ph not earlier than 72 hours from their intended arrival. Those who will fail to do so may be assisted by airline staff upon their arrival and before assessment by the Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ).

•	ONLY DEPARTING FILIPINO:
Only outbound Filipino passengers are required to register in the e-Travel system 72 hours but not less than 3 hours from their scheduled departure from the Philippines. Those departing Filipino passengers who will fail to register or update their e-Travel record may do this before undergoing immigration inspection or may fill out departure cards which are readily available inside the immigration area.

REMINDER:

•	Already registered passengers may update their e-Travel status under the Edit Registration tab while crewmembers may update under the Registered Crew tab.
•	"The paper-based arrival and departure cards can only be used by passengers who are incapable of e-Travel registration and in the event that the e-Travel site is inaccessible,” the Bl Chief discussed.
•	e-Travel portal is free of charge and fake sites who charge may be reported to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC).
