BI to stop issuing arrival stickers to e-gate users

FILIPINO travelers who pass through electronic gates at international ports of entry will no longer receive arrival stickers beginning April 1, 2024.

Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco said in an advisory that instead of stickers, Filipino travelers will receive an email confirmation of their arrival via the address they provided in the eTravel system.

But passengers may still request to have their passports affixed with arrival stamps by immigration officers, he added. 

Tansingco said the agency decided to streamline e-gate processing to maximize its efficiency and transition to label-free border clearance.
