Shown as text, never as links. The tag repeats how the official source describes each site.

The address must be exactly etravel.gov.ph. Type it yourself or use the official link on this page instead of clicking an ad.
Look closely at the spelling and the ending. Look-alike sites copy the form's name in a slightly different address.
The official form is free. A request for a service fee or card details means you are on the wrong site.
Check that the address is exactly etravel.gov.ph. It ends in .gov.ph, the Philippine government domain. The Bureau of Immigration's own site is immigration.gov.ph.
eTravel is free. Any site that charges a registration fee, or anyone who asks for an online payment, is not official.
Report fake sites to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) on hotline 1326.

Fill in the real form on the official site. CARICOM IMPACS says these sites "charge fees for fake forms that hold no value", and the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service says users of the fake C5 site for Jamaica will not receive a valid form.
Do not pay anything more. Taiwan's National Immigration Agency says that if a site asks you to pay, do not pay.
Report it. In the Philippines, the Bureau of Immigration asks people to report fake eTravel sites to the CICC hotline 1326 or at cicc.gov.ph/report.
Keep in mind what you shared. Official warnings say these sites can collect personal data (Singapore's ICA), be used for data theft (Indonesian Customs), ask for bank details (Chile's SAG) and defraud credit cards (Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security).
