Philippine Passport Advisory

[Stigg ma]

after 5 years, nag kita ulet kame ni DFA ATC Gaisano Alabang ngayon araw na ito kase ayaw ko mag bayad ng extra 250 pesos sa DFA temporary offsite

ang dami naka pila sa New and renewal at ang dami din naka pila sa passport claim na yung pila hangang baba na ng DFA para sa mga mag claim, paano yung date claim sa resibo ay tentative lang daw, di daw alam ng DFA kung nandun na yung passport o wala pa

after 5 years, imbes na mag improved ang DFA eh mas lalo lumala, ang init sa loob habang ako ay naka pila. wala naka lagay kung ano ang STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 etc. so 1 pm ako dumating, ang verification dadalawa tao lang ang gumagawa. ang processing meron 8 window pero 3 lang ang naka tao, dalawa nito sa courtesy lane pa (senior citizen and below 7yrs old). so technically isa lang ang nag gagawa ng processing versus sa haba ng pila. 2PM na nung dumating yung apat na tao sa processing window kaya bumilis na ang pila.

meron pa din pala mga kaka legal age (18 yrs old and above) na wala dala valid ID sa bulsa/wallet, paano na lang kung may aksidente o kaya meron on the spot na namimigay ng P500 starbucks GC sa maybank kung mag open ka lang ng virtual account on the spot na wala maintaing balance.

sa encoding naman, alam nila yung flaw sa system tungkol sa address versus birth place. pinalitan lang nila manually para ma ayos yung mali

3 hours ang pinila ko from start to end, no social distancing. kaya pina delivery ko na lang kase ang haba ng pila, P150 and delivery fee

mga govt employee, proceed sila sa courtesy lane sa DFA ASEANA para ma bigyan ng VIP treatment habang ang publiko nag papa sweldo sa gobyerno ay nag papakahirap pumila

is walk-in courtesy lane allowed?
or, dapat ring mag-pa-schedule?
dun kasi sa online reservation, the courtesy lane was always full, when i tried. the regular lane was where i got my slot.

for seniors and pwd, you can email them and they will send you a form, you fill it up and you send it back to them and they will give you a schedule within the next 3 days at your preferred location.. and you can also include immediate family members..

maybe they have improved since,
but when i tried it some time back, they emailed me back, refering me to queue in their usual queueing line for these special categories.... which turned out to be even longer than the regular queue.

walkin pwede, scan lang yung QR code sa DFA para ma download yung application form, tapos need mo i print, pero syempre wala ka naman siguro dala printer kaya pwede mo din pa print sa Photocopy area, kung magkano mag pa print eh di ko na tanong

I had a great experience renewing my passport sa satellite office in Robinsons Magnolia. Not more than 30 minutes lang from pagpila (hindi pa nagpapapasok since earliest time slot ako) hanggang matapos. Yung additional fee, inisip ko nalang na for convenience nga as others mentioned and bayad sa renta ng space (kung sinisingil ng mall). Wala talaga aasahan sa gobyerno pagdating sa process.

Talagang inefficient mga govt offices, parang utang na loob mo pa pag gagawin nila mga trabaho nila.

but i think i agree with you.
passport-wise, either it is not high on their agenda, or DFA has weak leadership.

some decades ago, when i needed to do business with the US office, i simply walked into their office, and concluded my business in a few minutes.

Does anyone know why there are no slots at DFA Uptown for October 2022? They only have until September 30. Is it true walk ins are allowed for seniors?

Yup sa Aura marami ng slots but not in Uptown. I'm thinking baka they closed Uptown na?

Yes.. Tapos pwede na din isabay pagprocess sa kasama nyang nag-a-assist sa kanya kung gusto din magpa-passport..

[_Qwerty_]

Yes, PWD and Seniors can walk in with their immediate family as well..

my uncle walked in sa Megamall, and he opted to pick up his passport.. so he was able to get it in 9 days yata..
