Travel tax is now part of the eTravel requirements
While it's no secret that paying the travel tax—amounting to P1,620—is a prerequisite to flying, somehow there's always that one passenger holding up the check-in lane because they haven't done so. Sure, you can pay online or include it when you pay for your flight ticket, but without a reminder to pay or check if you have, it's easy to miss—that is, until now.
The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority, a.k.a. TIEZA—the government agency tasked with collecting the travel tax—just announced that it is now fully integrated into the eGovPH Super App and eTravel System. This means that you can pay for your travel tax within the eGovPH app interface, making payments more secure and streamlined—no more searching for which site to pay on or long airport payment counter lines.
