THE Bureau of Immigration has advised arriving and departing passengers that the use of paper-based departure cards will be discontinued starting May 1 to pave the way for the full-implementation of the “e-Travel System.”
The online portal will replace the paper-based departure card, which passengers are required to fill out prior to departure. For departing passengers, the BI said travelers should register not earlier than 72 hours up to not later than three hours from the scheduled time of departure from the country.
“The eTravel platform will soon be used for both arriving and departing passengers. Travelers no longer have to fill out departure cards, and instead may log in the online portal prior to their flight,” Tansingco reiterated.
