RENEWAL OF PHILIPPINE E-PASSPORTS

The Philippine Embassy wishes to remind the Filipino community in China to check the validity of their passports and have them renewed eight (8) months before their expiration, to avoid inconveniencies.

Please be reminded that immigration authorities of most countries require at least 6 months’ validity on a passport to be allowed entry into a country.

The processing of the electronic passports takes about 6-8 weeks. Filipinos in China are therefore encouraged to renew their passports promptly at the Philippine Embassy or the nearest Philippine Consulate General.

The Philippine Embassy looks forward to your kind attention in this regard.
