1. Pre-register and fill out the pal passenger profile and health declaration form (PPHD).
You should do this as early as 5 DAYS before departure.
You must first accomplish the pre-registration form here: https://bit.ly/PALIntPPHD. This is step one of the 2-step registration process for passengers departing from the Philippines.
After submitting this form, you will be sent the following via email:
a list of requirements of your destination
a unique reference code
the pal passenger profile and health declaration form (PPHD form)
Save or print the unique reference code that will be sent to you. You might need to use it later on so don’t forget this step.
2. complete the requirements.
The requirements below are applicable for all outbound Filipino travelers except OFWs and students enrolled abroad or exchange program participants.
Valid Philippine passport
Confirmed roundtrip tickets
Travel and health insurance

In addition, some countries may have additional requirements such as:
Valid visa (if applicable)
Travel and health documents (if required by destination country)

Note that these are just the requirements for leaving the Philippines. Your destination country most probably has additional ARRIVAL rules and restrictions that you must follow. These entry requirements vary per country. For example, some countries may require a negative COVID-19 test result prior to departure but some don’t.

It is also important to note that NOT ALL countries accept travelers from the Philippines. It’s best to contact the authorities in your destination directly to make sure and get their updated policies.

4. On departure date, proceed to the airport.
Arrive at the airport at least 4 hours before the scheduled time of departure or before 8PM latest.
The extra time is due to the additional protocol for COVID-19 done at the airport.
