Philippine Passport Renewal in Dubai

June 20, 2014 by Sheila | A B & Me 535 Comments

Passport

It’s that time again. That inconvenient requirement of renewing my passport. Actually, my passport is still valid till September. But one must have at least 6 months valid passport to travel and I don’t want to miss any opportunity to see the world! 😀  So the question is .. 

HOW TO RENEW PHILIPPINE PASSPORT IN DUBAI?

  1.  Get an appointment. Here’s where the confusion is. Previously, Philippine Consulate General in Dubai accepts appointment requests through their Facebook account (weird, I know. A government agency should not use a social media platform to do official transactions, but I digress). However, they’ve changed their process. You now have to book an appointment on their online portal : Dubai PCG Passport Appointments
    • Register your details on the portal.
    • Choose a date 
    • Once you have an appointment, you’ll get an email confirmation. 
  2. appointmentScreening. On your appointment date, you will go to Encoder 2 for screening. Here’s where they check your documents to see if they’re complete and that you actually have an appointment on that date. 
  3. Pay. Go to room 3 (Cashier) and pay AED 250 for passport renewal. 
  4. Encoding.  Go to room 4 for encoding. Here’s where everything takes time. You really have to wait with a capital W. By the time you finish, you’re already bestfriend’s with your seatmate.  When it’s your turn, they take your documents, encode data, take your picture, thumb prints and digital signature. 
  5. Realeasing. Passports will be released 8 weeks from your appointment date. Bring your receipt to collect. A list of released passports are posted on the Consulate webpage. 

And you’re done!

I wish it was just this easy. But its’ really not. 

IMG_1331[1]

Let me give you some tips based on my experience. 

  • Be there on time. I’m telling you, you don’t want to wait for a long time. If you come late, you’ll be the last to be served. 
  • Wear appropriate clothing. No slippers, no shorts, no revealing outfit. Just be decent.
  • Don’t bother going there without an appointment. They won’t help you. (Unless maybe if you have “wasta” inside)
  • Charge your phones/gadgets. I know that they prohibit the use of mobile phones but with the long wait you’ll need to entertain yourself. Just don’t use the phone for calling and put it on silent. Better yet, bring a book!

IMG_1332[1]

With regards to the appointment schedule, I know how frustrating it could be checking the online portal and not finding any available dates. I, myself got so desperate that I was looking for someone who has “inside” connections just so I could get an appointment! I did not find anyone who can help me so I just checked the portal everyday. As in every. single. day. until I found an available spot (somebody must have cancelled!)

And also, Dear Kabayans, don’t post your details on Facebook. It’s not safe! If you are reading this, then you have must have seen this link somewhere or you have “googled” how to apply for passport which means you have the time to go online (and not just browse FaceBook!). Please be patient and just keep trying on the portal. 

Posting your passport and contact details on Facebook just opens you up for possible scams (cell phone scams, identity theft, etc).

Hope this helps!

    Hello po. Ang hirap po kase ng appointment makakuha. Possible po bang makatravel ako to Pinas ng March 1,2019 kahit March 30,2019 expiry ng passport ko then sa Pinas na magrenew since no appointment needed for OFWs naman po. Papa express ko na lang po which is 7-14 days processing time daw po para makuha ko before I fly back to UAE. Possible po ito?

    Hello po. Baka lang po may idea kayo kung allowed ako magtravel ng March 1,2019 kung ang expiry ng passport ko po is March 30,2019. Then sa Pinas na po ako magrerenew kase they don’t require appointments for OFWs naman po then ipapaexpress ko na lang para mareceive ko bago bumalik ng UAE. Punuan po kase yung sa appointment. Possible option po ba to? Thank you..

      Pwede po mag travel pa labas ng UAE, kahit less than 6 months ang validity ng passport. Yung pabalik lang po ang minsan mahigpit sa Pinas.

      Kung visit visa ka lang dito mas makaka buti nga kung umuwi ka na lang at dun ka mag renew ng passport dahil mas mabilis mag renew ng passport duon, kailangan mo din naman mag exit na dahil nga expired na visa mo.

      Kung hindi ka naman visit visa, mag request ka ng sulat sa pinapasukan mo na nag rerequest sa Consulate na iextend ang validity ng passport mo.

    Hello Mr. Alvin! May question po ako. Bali nagwo-work po ako ngayon dito sa isang company sa Dubai while on visit visa kasi sabi ng boss ko baka by June or July pa po ako ma apply-an ng visa kasi bago lang ang company need pa nya iprocess ang lahat. Now, ang expiration ng passport ko ay December 1, 2018, so sa awa ng Diyos e nakapag pa appointment po ako ng June 28, 2018. However, yung last day naman po ng Visit visa ko ay June 17, 2018.
    Question ko po:
    1. Mai-paprocess po ba ng boss ko yung Employment visa ko while hindi pa nare-renew passport ko? Or should we wait muna sa bagong passport para maiprocess anf employment visa?
    2. Makaka exit po ba ako ng A to A ng hindi magkaka problema sa immigration ng Sharjah or Dubai pag nalaman nilang 6 months nalang ma eexpire na passport ko?

    Salamat po Sir! Confused po talaga ako at worried e. Hehe!

      Madami ng mga kabayan natin ang nag sabi na hindi sila makapag renew o maka kuha ng residence o visit visa kasi less than 6 months na lang ang validity ng passport nila. Since December pa naman ang expiration ng passport mo, kung makuha mo mag exit ng May bago maging less than 6 months ang validity ng passport mo hindi ka magkaka problema sa pag kuha ng visit visa. Ang isa pa sa option mo eh magpa extend ka ng validity pero mag dala ka ng kasulatan galing sa pinapasukan mo na ni rerequest ang consulate na iextend ang validity ng passport mo para maikuha ka ng residence visa habang wala pa yung bagong passport mo.

      Makaka labas ka pa naman ng UAE pero maaari ka nga maharang palabas ng Pinas. Since mahaba naman ang panahon mo sa Pinas, dun ka na magpa renew. Merong renewal na within 10 working days lang pero may extra bayad. Magpa book na ng appointment sa pinaka malapit na DFA office kung san ka man sa Pinas ngayon pa lang, para pag dating mo dun pa renew mo agad bago ka mag Taiwan,.

      As far as I know, GDRFA requirement in terms of passport validity is 3 months. If your PRO insists on 6 months, asks him to issue a letter addressed to our consulate requesting for validity extension.

      When is your visa expiring? maybe you can still wait for the new passport as the current processing based on other kabayan who renewed their passport recently is 21 days.

          Mag request ka ng extension validity sa consulate o kaya magpa renew ka na ng visa ngayon. Sa pag kaka alam ko pwede pa mag renew ng visa pag at least 3 months valid ang passport, pero may ibang kumpanya na gusto at least 6 months valid ang passport. Alamin mo na lang sa PRO nyo kung ano ang requirement sa kumpanya nyo.

            Sa consulate din, mag walk-in ka sabihin mo mag rerequest ka ng validity extension. Kung maari mag dala ka ng kasulatan galing sa kumpanya mo na nag saad na kailangan irenew ang visa mo at kailangan valid for at least six months ang passport mo.

      Hindi mo na kailangan ng extension siguruhin mo lang na dala mo yung resibo na katunayan na nakapag renew ka na. Kung mag tatagal ka sa Pinas pwede mo din sabihin sa consulate na dun mo na lang kolektahin yung bagong passport.

      Hindi ka magkaka problema dahil sa visa. Baka magka problema ka dahil sa passport validity. Minsan iginiggit ng immigration yung rule na kailangan at least 6 months valid ang passport. Kung magagawa mo na magpa renew sa pinas dun ka na magpa renew. Meron naman rush na within 10 working days makukuha mo agad. Kung hindi naman siguruhin mo na may appointment ka na dito bago ka umalis para masabi mo sa immigration na dito ka na mag rerenew ng passport at may appointment ka na.

        Hi, same problem. I’m planning to go home for at least 12 days lang sa Pinas on June and my paspport will be expired on October. Nagbook na ako online sa Dubai for renewal but July pa ung opening. Will I still be able to pass by Dubai Immigration going back home with less than 6 months passport validity?

        And If ever naman na sa Pinas ako magrenew, I checked online and one thing is you need to have an OEC sa pagrenew ng passport sa Pinas. And you cant acquire an OEC if hindi naman valid within 6 months ang passport. So which one should be done first?

        Kindly help.

          Makaka labas ka naman ng UAE dahil valid pa ang passport mo. Since uuwi ka, kailangan mo pa din kumuha ng OEC. Pwede mo subukan mag request ng extension pero by May sabihin mo kailangan mo para maka kuha ka ng OEC. Hindi naman kailangan ang OEC sa passport renewal sa Pinas? Pano yung mga hindi naman OFW at mag rerenew ng passport wala naman silang OEC. Saan mo nakita na kailangan ang OEC sa para sa passport renewal sa Pinas?

            Check mo sa spam folder. Kung walan naman yung email, i reklamo mo yung company mo kasi hindi na nila dapat hawak ang passport mo. May batas na dito na nag sasabi na ang passport eh hindi dapat nasa employer. Kung nasa employer man dapat madali mo makuha ng walang tanong tanong.

            Pwede mo iprint yung appointment confirmation sa website,.

          Ganun din ang pagkaka intindi ko sa announcement ng consulate – http://dubaipcg.dfa.gov.ph/announcements-and-notices/810-public-announcement-on-passport-validity naka saad dun sa unang talata na except for trips to the Philippines, kailangan at least 6 months valid ang passport. Nilininaw din ng consulate na kailangan ay direct flight pa uwi ang Pinas pag less than 6 months na lang ang validity ng passport.

        Sir Good Day!

        Tanong ko lang po..ang passport ko po kasi is maeexpire na this coming September 2018, ngayon nagpabook ako apointment sa embassy sa March 7 2018. Ang issue ko sir is ang VISA ko ay hanngang March 9 2018 na lang ang need macancel before that. Irerenew pa ba ng consulate ang passport ko kahit cancelled visa na ako sa employer ko? at kung on process na ung renewal ng passport and release usually is wait for 3-4 weeks. magagamit ko pa ba pangexit ang passport na luma? Let say magvisit visa ulit ako kung wala padin work after grace period ng cancelation. Ano po maganda option?

        Thank you,

          Magagamit mo pa yung lumang passport mo hanggang wala yung bago as long as valid pa. Meron ka 28 days na pwede mag stay sa loob ng UAE kahit cancelled na visa mo. Kung na cancel ka na bago ang appointment mo, pwede ka na mag apply ng bagong visit visa. Mas makaka buti kung naka visit visa ka na bago ka mag renew para mapatunayan mo na nandito ka sa UAE pag dumating bagong passport.

          Paki linaw po. Kung ang visa mo ang mag expire ng May/2018 bakit sa July ka pa uuwi? Baka passport ang tinutukoy mo na mag expire ng May/2018.

          Emergency cases lang ang binibigyan ng extension. Pero kung hindi ka makakuha ng appointment para sa renewal ng passport ng May/2018 mag dala ka ng kopya ng ticket mo sa consulate at makiusap ka na bigyan ka ng extension.

Now, anu ang pwede solution.. expired passport nya so panu sya mkatravel? if ever pwede ba magask ng permit to travel with the epired passport? and also, kelangan sa homecountry sya mgexit kase d namn pwede mkabalik and mkaaply ng new visa to enter UAE kung ala renewed passport or validity.

Hindi ako macancel pa ng company ko kase expired license nla, wala na plano magrenew and hindi pa sila nagliliquidate. I took the closest date possible para sa passport renewal appointment ko which is april 25th. Tanong ko lang, makakapagrenew ba ko ng passport kahit overstaying nako? (wala po akong problem sa penalties kase babayaran naman ng company ko)

            February 28, 2018 at 7:02 AM

            Makapag renew ka kung nandito ka pa by that time. Mag request ka na lang na muna ng validity extension para ma cancel ka ng company at any time saka makapag apply ka na din sa ibang company.

            Humingi ka ng kasulatan sa company na sila ang responsible sa over stay mo. Kasi kung wala na ang company by the time na ma cancel ka sino ang hahabulin ng immigration para magbayad ng penalties.

      Sa kasalukuyan, 21 days lang ang average processing time ng passport renewal. Depende kung kelan ang next available appointment dito. Kung mag file ka ng renewal dito at hindi umabot ang bagong passport by Jun, makaka uwi ka pa din naman gamit yung lumang passport mo. Sa pag balik mo sa June ipakita mo na lang yung resibo na ng renew ka na.

      Kung gusto mo makasiguro, mag request ka ng extension of validity same day na magpa renew ka.

          Kung hindi ka bigyan ng company ng approval, papano ka makaka uwi ng bansa? Baka hindi empleyado ng consulate ang nakausap mo. Baka naman expired din ang visa mo? Pero kahit na expired ang visa mo kailangan mo pa din ang bagong passport para makapapg renew.

          Dito naka sulat ang requirements http://dubaipcg.dfa.gov.ph/services/passports/procedures wala naman nakalagay ng kailangan ng permiso ng kumpanyang pinapasukan.

          Sa kasalukuyan, 21 days lang ang average renewal ng passport. Ibig sabihin aabot pa ng April 2018 kung mag renew ka ng February/2018. At kung hindi man, valid pa naman yung lumang passport mo at hindi naman kukunin sa iyo yun habang wala pa yung bago. Makaka travel ka pa din.

      Mag renew ka muna ulit ng visit visa kasi kailangan mo mapatunayan sa cosulate na nandito ka para makolekta yung bagong passport.

      Isa sa mga requirement na naka saad sa http://dubaipcg.dfa.gov.ph/services/passports/procedures eh kopya ng visa page. Pwede mo pa din subukan sabihin mo na kailangan mo ng passport para ma legalise ang status mo.

          Its not implied that residence visa is required, however, you have to consider the duration of the renewal, you have to ensure that your are here and your visit visa is valid for next 60 days after submission of the renewal.

      Walang rush option dito sa Dubai. Hindi ka na ba babalik ng Dubai? Sa tingin ko naman aabot yung bago mong passport kung sa 26 pa ang uwi mo. Ang average duration ng renewal recently is 3 weeks.

      Kung hindi man umabot itanong mo sa consulate kung pwede magpag extend ng validity or kung pwede na sa Pinas mo na kunin yung bagong passport.

    • Alvin | AB&Me says

      I do not see any issues regarding the cancellation, the issue is collecting your new passport in case you are required to exit the country before your new passport is released.

      However, based on recent feedback from other Kabayan it is likely that your new passport will be issued before your cancellation. In case it is not and you are required to exit back to the Philippines – you have to inform the consulate to change the collection location of your new passport.

      There is no problem leaving UAE as long as your passport is valid. The issue is going back to UAE. Our immigration requires the passport to be valid at least 6 months. You can set your appointment for passport renewal in the Philippines there is an option to have the renewed passport in 10 working days subject to additional fees.

          If you have time to renew your passport in the Philippines its better, The 10 working days renewal duration is not available in some satellite locations of DFA.

          Please check first if the intended location do provide 10 working days passport renewal before scheduling an appointment in case you do decide to renew there.

In-case you are not able to do that before you travel, just ensure that you have the old passport with you when you travel.

      Your passport have to be valid for at least 3 months when you leave the Philippines. If at all your new passport is not available before you leave, you can go to the consulate and ask for an extension. Your case may be considered an emergency since you are pregnant. You may also arrange to have your new passport collected/delivered in the Philippines.

        Diba dapat atleast 6 months validity ng passport before they can be allowed to travel and not 3 months. Nasa booking details yun nakalagay when you book for your airline ticket.

      If your visit visa is only 3 months, wouldn’t it already be expired or about to expire by July/2017? I think you should get a new visit visa first by July/2017 before you renew your passport.

        It depends on the validity of your tourist visa. If your tourist visa is likely to expire before the new passport is issued it will not be possible to collect the new passport if you are already outside the country.

            It depends on the validity of your passport. When applying for visit visa your passport should be valid for at least 3 months. You may continue and renew your passport here, as long as it is valid by the time you get your new visit visa and return to Dubai.

          Passport renewal doesn’t usually take 3 months. In most cases its just one month. The 3 months duration is a worst case scenario.

          When does your passport expire? You should be able to get an OEC in POLO DXB by showing that you have already applied for your passport renewal. All face to face application for OEC requires online appointment. Walk-ins may be entertained based on availability only.

          In general, there should be no issue as long as you a valid residence visa and UAE ID. however, There are some banks that require their customers to submit the renewed passport once the old one expires failure to do so may result in suspension of banking transactions.

          Please do check the appointment site daily as slots become available when someone else cancels or reschedule their original appointment.

      There will be no problem as your passport is still valid at the time of exit from UAE. You do need to renew your passport before you travel back from the Philippines.

      Regarding the OEC, as far as I know you need a travel booking to be able to get an OEC. OEC is only for first time balik bayan or those who have changed employer. Those who are returning to the same employer are only required to obtain the excemption reference number.

      What does your OEC have to do with sponsoring? As far as I know OEC is not required to obtain an affidavit of support from our embassy/consulate. The requirement is for passport copy with visa page.

      Your question is not related to the topic, however, possibility of returning to Dubai is dependent on the reason why your residence visa was cancelled.

      If your visa was cancelled without prejudice, there is not reason why you wont be able to go back. You might face more difficulty in getting out of Manila as you will have to prove that you are a legitimate tourist.

      If your residence visa was cancelled because you got terminated from employment due to violation of the law its a different case.

      When do you plan to return from your holiday? If the return trip is within 3 months of your passport expiration, you may have a problem. You may renew your passport in the Philippines during your holiday.

      You may also apply for renewal here before your visa is renewed which is my personal recommendation. It would be better for you if your renewed visa is on your new passport. This will enable you to register and use the smart gates during your arrival.

          You should still be able to come back with your current passport. I would recommend that you set an appointment close to you return so that you have enough time with a valid passport until you get your new one.

      As long as you enter the country with a valid passport it should not be a problem. However 4 days of validity is quite risky, however unlikely, flights can be cancelled or diverted.

      You will not be able to leave the Philippines unless your passport is renewed.

          Medyo magulo yung question nyo sir. Nag expire na ba yung passport nyo nung Jan 6, 2016? o Mag eexpire pa lang sa Jan 6, 2017??
          Either way, why do you need to apply for extension? Your new employment visa will be stamped on your still valid passport. When you renew your passport, you will have to attach the old to the new passport until you renew your visa again (para dun na sya ma stamp sa new passport).

          Hope that clears your concern.

      If you are already employed and have your residence visa stamped on your passport, you can apply for an OEC here in Dubai provided that your vacation will not exceed 60 days. Otherwise, OWWA staff will just tell you to apply in the Philippines.

      If your passport is less than 6 months valid, you will not be issued an OEC you will be required to renew your passport first. You will be able to go home but you will not be able to leave the Philippines unless you renew your passport there.

          As long as your passport is valid at the time of exit, there is no issue. The issue will be when you try go back with your passport validity less than 3 months. Its always a good practice to keep at least 6 months validity in your passport. You still have time, you should try and renew as soon as possible.

      Check nyo na lang po sa consulate, usually hindi pwede mag renew ang visit visa lang dahil hindi ka naman pwede mag travel out of our country kung less than 6 months validity ng passport mo.

    Pls help us Ms.Sheila.Thanks

      Kelan ba sya mag exit? Usually required 6 months valid ang passport. Wala na po atang passport extension na binibigay ngayon so renewal Lang talaga option nyo. I suggest you renew passport Kung babyahe sya palabas dahil Baka Hindi na sya makabyahe Kung less than 6 months ang validity ng passport.

    Ask lang po ako yung passport ko kasi less than 2 years na lng bago mag expired. Eh my inaapplyan ako abroad and require na dapat my at least 2 years ako sa passport..

    Now my question is total August 2017 pa nmn talaga ang expiration if ever ba na mag renew ako now esusurender ba yung passport sa DFA while on the process yung renewal ko or I can still use the old passport habang pinaprocess yung passport ko?..

    Need ko kasi xa erenew before this year ends tapos recently lng gusto ng Mom ko mag vacation ako sa HK this January..

      Your old passport will still be with you while the new one is being processed. The old one will remain valid until you collect the new one and DFA punches a hole in the old passport.

      Most embassy requires a passport validity of only 6 months. Why would an employer require your passport to be valid for 2 years? Which country is that new employer based?

      If your residence visa here in Dubai is valid at the time of return, immigration/DFA will not stop you from travelling. You can always say that you will renew in Dubai. You may also extend the validity of your passport before leaving Dubai. Another thing you can do is already set an appointment for your passport renewal in Dubai and show that to Immigration/DFA as evidence that you will renew your passport in Dubai.

Tinanong ko po ang HR eh ang sabi walang problema daw paguuwi ng pinas kahit expired na ang passport ko. Anxious po ako masyado kasi baka icancel na nila visa ko at pagdating sa immigration di ako pauwiin dahil nga sa paso na ang passport ko. Ano po ba ang dapat kung gawin?

      hindi mo naman kailangan ng passport para bumalik sa bansa mo. Pero kung makaka tulong sayo, pwede ka naman magpa extend ng passport sa consulate.
      Kailangan lang naman valid ang passport mo (for at least 6 months) kung pupunta ka ng ibang bansa.

Ma eextend po ba nila yun? Because i heard na mahigpit na daw ngayon and mag eextend lng sila kng may valid reasons like death sa family or emergency cases. I’m thinking twice baka ksi bumili ako ng ticket for September 10, 2015 and hndi pala approved ung extension ng passport… May appointment na ako for passport renewal on September 2, 2015 pero i don’t want to wait on that date para bumili ng ticket ksi mahal na ticket by that time.

      isama mo yung PRO nyo para mag renew. Or subukan mo mag tanong sa consulate.

    Mag rerenew po kasi ako sa sunday pero and yung passport ko mag eexpire pa sa March 2016
    Then I’m planning to travel next month which I think and I’m not sure kung by that time released na yung new passport ko. Sinusurender ba talaga yung old passport kapag nag papa renew?
    or until di pa na rerelease ung new passport mo bibigay sayo yung old and allowed ka pa mag traver?

      Hi Nympha, I don’t get it. Wala naman ako receipt nung nakatanggap ako ng appointment. And they did not text me my appointment date. If you followed the procedure, the appointment portal will give you the date and they will email you. So walang resibo dapat dahil wala ka naman binayaran to get an appointment.

      As for the expiry of your passport, I suggest you get an extension for your passport dahil hindi ka makakabalik ng UAE kapag expired ang passport mo.

    I hope u can help me to get through to have and get new appointment. I’m worried po kasi expired na po passport ko March 16, 2015 and i will travel on June 2015 for my vacation. I did my appointment last December 2014 but the schedule that has been given to was March 10,2015. Baka another 3months na naman po ang makuha ko at it will be on June which the same month of my vacation.

    Please let me know also if how can i renew my passport in abu dhabi coz they told me it’s easier po duon.

    Big Thanks po and Godbless

      Hi Renz, I’m not sure pano mag renew sa Abu Dhabi. I haven’t tried it there pero I heard its easier nga daw.
      As for the cancellation naman, I think you need to contact the consulate through their FB page to tell them your problem. They reply naman usually (hindi lang sila nag eentertain if you give them your passport number and ask for an appointment thru FB kasi that’s not how it works). Anyway, worst case scenario, you can just have your passport extended tapos pagbalik mo na lang dito mo ipa renew ulit.

      Good Luck!

          Pwede ka pumunta ng walang appointment pero hindi ko masisiguro sayo kung aasikasuhin ka nila.
          Bakit ka pupunta ng walang appointment in the first place? May valid passport at visa ka pa naman.
          Second, kung mag expire ang visa mo, pwede naman yan i renew using your current passport dahil valid pa yan. Pag malapit na ang expiry ng passport mo, ipa renew mo lang. I don’t see any issues.

So bale game of chance lng talaga ang ggwin ng mga taong ng b browse paulit ulit mong bubuksan hangang sa mk tsamba k.

          Can, I think meron lang glitch sa system nila. I tried logging in and hindi din ako maka browse ng calendar kasi daw may active appointment ako (yung appointment date ko na lumipas na, dapat na clear na yun dahil completed na ang transaction). Hindi naman maiiwasan na may glitch sa system. I would suggest take a screen cap of your error / issue sa portal and then send mo sa FB nila via private message. Sumasagot naman sila doon. Hindi lang sila nag aaccept ng appointment via FB pero they answer queries.

          I’m sure they would appreciate kung ma report natin ang problema ng system nila para ma rectify. I will do the same thing para ma clear na yung appointment ko sa system nila. Also, you have to take into consideration yung dates ng Ramadan. In my experience, hindi lumalabas ang calendar/ schedule nila during this time kasi hindi pa nila alam ang Ramadan timings nila (shempre shortened working hours yan). Once alam na nila yung Ramadan schedule, nilalabas na nila yung calendar for appointment.

          Good luck!

Passport ay valid and legal document na nagpapatunay ng identity at nationality mo. Kailangan mo i renew yan. Walang penalty kung mag renew ka ng expired passport kaya pwede mo yan i renew anytime.

      Jhun, ang alam ko pwede ka umuwi dahil valid pa naman passport mo pero hindi ka makaka labas ng Pilipinas dahil kailangan 6 months valid. Apply ka na lang ng visa extension para mas mabilis pero ganun din ata babayaran. Better inquire sa fb page, masasagot nila yan.

    Hi Ma’am Shiela,

    Nagpaappointment po ako ng passport renewal, nakapagfilled-up na din po ako ng form at naisubmit ko na din po one week ago. Pero di pa din po ako nakakareceive ng confirmation sa appointment ko from consulate. Ang schedule na sinubmit ko po ay February 2, 2014. Ask ko lang po kung gano katagal bago makareceived ng confirmation.

    Maraming Salamat po.

    Marlon

      Hi Marlon, saan ka nagpa appointment? (sa website? sa consulate mismo? sa FB?)
      Nung ako ay nagpa appointment, nakuha ko agad ang confirmation email.

    hi Shiela,

    i was just wonderin if you have idea about appointment-no shows, i made an appointment last 16 Nov and at the last minute i cant make it due to work reasons, im now trying to schedule a new appointment, however the old one is still there which is not allowing me to do so. 🙁

      Hi Mylene, I have not encountered this before. I would imagine that since the date has already passed, it should have been cancelled already, right?
      Have you tried calling them? Or sending them a private message in FB? they might give you a solution to this. (from my experience, they answer queries in FB BUT they won’t make appointments for you. I would suggest tell them that you’re having issues with scheduling).

      Hope that helps!

        You try and exit to another country such as Iran. You are going to a huge risk by overstaying in the country. As far as I know you can only overstay for a certain number of days before you can be considered as illegal.

        Regularly check the appointment website because its common that other people would cancel or reschedule their appointment and a slot can be available for earlier dates.

    Hi! Thanks for the info above. Just want to check, did you arrive in the consulate on the exact time stated on your appointment or did you come early? I am just worried that if I come on time baka mahaba na yung pila or if I come early eh hindi naman ako entertainin pa kung di pa yung oras ko. My schedule is at 0950am and I am planning to come there at around 8am or 7am even just to be ahead on the line. How early did you arrive there? Thanks a lot! 🙂

      Hi Len, my sched was at 2 pm if I remember correctly… I arrived 5 mins before. You don’t have to go there super early… Pero don’t come late kasi you have to drop your passport sa counter and you don’t want to be at the bottom of the pile.. First come first served kasi.

            Please clarify what you by “letter of extension for renewal of passport”. Do you want to extend your passport validity without applying for renewal?

            Please note that extension of passport validity will only be granted for emergency cases.

    Mag expire po passport ko this July 5, 2016, pero nakapag schedule po ako this July 21 for renewal, pero kapos po ako ngayon sa budget kaya baka ipa re schedule ko po by first week ng August. Ok naman po ang working visa ko dahil kakapalit ko lang po employer at mag 1 year pa lang ako by October, next year ko po balak mag take vacation, by April or May. Magkakaron po ba ako fines dahil mag 1 month expired ang passport ko kung sa August pa ako mag pa re-sched?
    Thank you po.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)
