All Filipino nationals are advised to apply for a new e-Passport as soon as possible before the expiry of their current passport. The public is advised to check the validity of their Philippine passports to avoid inconvenience in case of travel or renewal of permit to stay.
PASSPORTS ISSUED IN 2012 OR BELOW ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO BE RENEWED NOW! The processing period for the new passport is estimated to be from 4 to 6 weeks from the date of application.
As a matter of policy, extension of validity will no longer be allowed as any amendment in the passport will not be reflected in the electronic chip of the passport.
