Latest Advisory on Passports (As of 11 July 2011)

* Electronic Passport (E-Passport) and Frequently Asked Question

The DFA announces that all regular passports printed after 01 July 2011 shall no longer bear the stamp "not Valid for Travel to Iraq" in the limitations page.

For passports in circulation, the stamp will be considered void by the Philippine authorities.

Travelers who wish to have the stamp removed may apply for a new passport without the stamped notation.

The labor deployment ban in Iraq is still in effect. When planning travel to Iraq, one is advised to consult latest travel advisories. (Read more advisories)

The Philippine Embassy is pleased to announce that its Consular Section is now processing applications for electronic passports(ePassports).

Personal appearance is required because all biometric data are captured electronically at the Embassy. The Philippine ePassport costs €60.00.

Applicants are no longer required to submit passport photos.

All other requirements remain the same.

Production of passports is still done in Manila although with the ePassport System, transmission of data is now done electronically.

The Department of Foreign Affairs is pleased to announce that previous operational concerns have been addressed and e-Passport operations are back to normal. Waiting time for the release of the passports is now reduced to 4 weeks.

Thank you for bearing with us during the transition to the ePassport system.

RENEWAL OF PASSPORT

A passport may be renewed anytime but normally, six (6) months before it is about to expire.

Passport production is done in Manila and so a passport applicant should always consider the processing/waiting time (4 weeks).

Extension of the validity of passports will be done only inextreme cases of emergency.
