Passport Renewal Changes & Other!
It seems that in the near future, no passports will be issued from the Philippines. The Embassy/Consulate will still accept applications, but the actual passport will take at least four weeks to arrive!
It is not yet clear if it will be Bangkok, Hong Kong, or Singapore British Embassy that will issue same.
It is further proposed that a couple of years into the future, all passport issue will be centralised in the UK.
So apply in good time!
Source Consuls advisory in Cebu, to British Citizens on 13th May 2009!
Register with the British Embassy to receive advisories:
www.britishembassy.gov.uk/philippines
Also register with LOCATE
www.fco.gov.uk/travel and click on LOCATE
THat way the British Embassy can get in contact with you if and when needed. Apparently only 8% of British Citizens in the Philippines are registered!
