Green vs Red QR Code: What Do They Mean?
After completing your e-Travel registration, you’ll receive a QR code—either Green or Red. These QR codes are scanned upon arrival or departure at Philippine airports, and they determine how your health and travel data will be processed.
🟩 Green QR Code – Express Lane
What it means:
A Green QR Code indicates that your submitted information has been reviewed and you are cleared for express processing at the airport.
You’ll be directed to the Express Lane, where you can proceed quickly without additional screening by the Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ).
✅ You qualify for a Green QR Code if:
- Your personal and travel information is complete
- You have no declared symptoms or recent exposure to infectious diseases
- You have valid or complete COVID-19 vaccination information (if still required)
- You have not visited any high-risk countries recently (as defined by health authorities)
🟥 Red QR Code – Manual Screening Required
What it means:
A Red QR Code signals that your travel or health data has flags or incomplete entries that require manual assessment by health or quarantine personnel.
You’ll be directed to the Manual Screening Area, where a BOQ officer will review your case before you can proceed.
⚠️ You may receive a Red QR Code if:
- You reported symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, etc.) in your health declaration
- You left questions blank or input incomplete data during registration
- You indicated exposure to a known infectious case within the last 14 days
- You declared travel to high-risk areas or countries
- You do not have proof of vaccination (if required by current protocols)
- Your personal information does not match your passport or travel documents
📝 Manual review may include:
- Verbal health screening
- Document verification
- Additional forms or interview
- In rare cases, health assessments or quarantine instructions
👥 Express Lane vs. Manual Screening
| Criteria | Green QR (Express Lane) | Red QR (Manual Screening) |
|---|---|---|
Health Status | Asymptomatic, no exposure | Has symptoms or declared health risks |
Data Completion | All required fields completed accurately | Missing/inconsistent or flagged data |
Vaccination Status | Fully vaccinated (if applicable) | Unvaccinated or unverifiable info |
Processing Time | Fast and seamless | May take longer due to BOQ screening |
🛫 What Should You Do If You Get a Red QR Code?
- Don’t panic. It does not automatically mean you are sick or will be denied entry.
- Arrive early. Red QR holders may experience longer processing times at the airport.
- Cooperate with BOQ officers during the manual screening.
- Bring supporting documents if applicable (e.g., doctor’s clearance, vaccine certificate, test results).

The staff is great. Very friendly and was able to get us checked in a little bit earlier than expected. The rooftop pool is a great place to hangout, and the gym is nice to get a workout. Stayed in a corner room facing the airport so the room was a little bit noisy throughout the night. The buttons for the curtains didn't work which took away from the room a bit. But receiving a welcome gift from the staff was a nice touch. Would stay again here especially if having an early flight. Easy to work to the airport.FromTHB 5,350

Staying at this hotel when catching a flight is incredibly convenient! 📍 It's really close to Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, so getting a taxi there is super easy. No stress whether you have an early morning or late night flight.
The room itself was great. It's much more spacious than other hotels at a similar price point in Manila, so you don't feel cramped. It was clean, tidy, and I slept comfortably.
But the biggest surprise was the location! If you walk through the middle of the hotel, there's a whole area of street food and restaurants right out the back. So many options, and it all felt very authentic. No need to go hungry or search far for food, which was a huge plus 😋.
Overall: convenient location, spacious rooms, and plenty of food and drink options. Perfect for a layover or an overnight stay. Great value for money too!FromTHB 1,763

Finding the Palm tree hotel from the airport was relatively easy, you just have to go up to the 4th floor, cross the pedestrian bridge and then turn left. The staff was very nice, however they did mess up my reservation and gave my booked room to someone else. They pretty quickly booked me a hotel across the street, which was fine. The sounds of the the highway are very loud but that’s to be expected. Overall pretty good stay for a one night layover at manila airport.FromTHB 796

This place is for those familiar with Airbnb. Once you arrive at Palm Tree Villas, confirm your building with the security at the entrance/exit and then proceed to the reception. Keep in mind, the reception is for the condominium, not a hotel. They'll just have your name listed in a notebook or on a piece of paper for that day's arrivals. If your name's there, they'll take a photo of your passport or ID with a smartphone, and then someone responsible for your room will come to escort you. The rooms appear clean at first glance, but some might have quite a few small cockroaches. If you're not happy with the room you're assigned, you can switch to another one if available. I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for hotel-level services, but if you just need a place to sleep before/after using the airport, it's pretty good value for money.FromTHB 806

We weren't in it for long as unfortunately wd had a nightmare booking this through Trip. Our flight was delayed so we booked last minute but the hotel could not find the booking. It wasn't resolved for 2 days and meanwhile I had to wait in the lobby for 2 hours (exhausted) before accessing my room. I had to pay again for the room and wait for a refund.

We recently stayed at Skyport Hotel near NAIA. The location is convenient, especially for travelers who need quick access to the airport.
However, there were a few things that disappointed us during our stay. They did not provide slippers, which would have been helpful and more comfortable for guests. The air conditioning was also very cold, and it was difficult to adjust to a comfortable temperature.
Another concern was the cleanliness. The towel was simply hanging at the back of the bathroom door, which made me feel unsure if it was properly cleaned or freshly prepared. It would be better if towels were sealed or neatly arranged to assure guests of hygiene.
Overall, the location is good, but there is definitely room for improvement in comfort and cleanliness.FromTHB 986

I've been to 3 different locations of Maine City, because of my work I travel a lot and have been to different hotels too. This hotel is the best of giving service among the 3 Maine city hotels. I tried their shared Ac room and it was excellent I can say. The room is clean and the shared bathroom too was fine. But the best thing about this hotel is their great service to their guests. The guy from reception was the best. The check-in time was at 2 pm but I arrived early at 11 am and he told me if the room was ready at 1 pm he could let me check-in. And I got checked in at 1:15. He was polite and professional, and had an amazing personality he was smiling throughout the time. When I got into my room, maybe the hk was in a hurry and I forgot to turn on the AC but I was really tired of going down the stairs I just slept through luckily there was a fan in the room. When I went out I passed by reception and asked the woman if she could help me with my AC, she then apologized and said that she would assist me in my room. I went up first and after maybe 3 mins she came with the controller and assisted me. She said that she would come back after 30 mins to check the temperature but I insist that it's already fine. She was really helpful and quick to assist the guest with the problem. The only thing I'm not really fond of in the room is that there's no window but it was okay because it was written in the room category. Maine city's lobby was also immaculately clean the aroma was subtle and the décor was warm and comfy, love it. Thanks to the Hk team too for the cleaning I really love your Tramo Branch. If I come together with my family or friends I will definitely bring them there and I would really recommend this place to my circle. Thank you Maine City Tramo I had a wonderful stay.FromTHB 303
