[tiger31]

my g f got a call from her sister asking if she would go with her to get her new passport.they set off yesterday at 3 pm here in cebu with documents etc they returned around 6 pm .They were givin a number and told to return at MIDNIGHT and I thought WTF anyway off they went and right now as I write this message 15 hours later they still have,nt reached the front of the que .My g f said when they arrived at the building there were over a 100 people queing out on the street .She is so pissed off right now and regretted ever going along with her sister she,s been texting me with updates along the way and to top it all off there is now a brown out so no elevator or air conditioner working and they have to climb many flights of stairs .she said there was no where to sit all night ,people have been sleeping on the concrete pavement .why do the philippino people tolerate this crap its beyond me .She says this happens every night so the moral of this story folks is if your wife or g f passport is due get an agency to do it coz by the sound of it its well worth it .

I seen a huge line which circled the whole floor at Robinson mall once and asked the wife what they were doing, she replied passport applications. I can only assume she was correct. :89:

how bad is it to renew a Filipina passport in Manila?

[luke]

Beginning this year my GF renewed her passport. We made an appointment online: http://passport.com.ph/info/requirements/for/renewal

With the online application set an available appointment (this can be weeks/months away!!)

Print the online form and be at the DFO office 30 minutes before appointment IN PERSON! Only the applicant can enter the DFA office. The rest of the procedure is a waiting game; documents check, picture taking, signature and go home. The passport will be delivered after a couple of weeks to you given address (cost 300 PHP more) or you can pick it up at the DFA office.

If online appointment is a problem then call the DFA hotline for an appointment.

Success!

Use an agent who fixes an appointed time for you show up. in and out in under an hour. Pick up pp when released from Manila. i forget the added cost..but for me it was well worth it as I got PI passports for my Wife and kids. .
