How Filipino citizens apply
- Check whether you need an eTA. Before applying, confirm that your nationality still requires an eTA. Following the 2025 changes, citizens of almost all African countries (except Libya and Somalia) and of many other nations are now exempt and do not need to apply.
- Gather your documents. Prepare your valid passport, a passport-style photo or selfie, your travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, your contact details, and any extra documents required for your purpose of travel.
- Start your application. Begin the online eTA application on our website and select your nationality and purpose of travel; a separate application is required for each traveller, including children and infants.
- Complete the application form. Fill in your personal, passport, and travel details accurately, including your intended point of entry, arrival and departure dates, and accommodation information.
- Upload your documents and photo. Upload a clear copy of your passport bio-data page, your photo or selfie, and any purpose-specific supporting documents, making sure the images are clear and legible.
- Review and pay. Carefully check that all details exactly match your passport, then pay the applicable government charge plus our service fee, with the full amount shown to you before you confirm payment.
- Receive your approved eTA. We'll email you as soon as a decision is made — within 5 business days on Standard processing, faster with Emergency or Rush. If approved, download and print the PDF (or save it in the official mobile app) and present it to the airline at check-in and to the immigration officer on arrival.
