Walk-in applicants (senior citizens, PWDs, pregnant women, solo parents and minors 7 years and below, and OFWs) are advised that mall-based Consular Offices may set limits on the number of walk-in applicants that may be accommodated on 16-22 November 2017. This takes into account the expected surge of applicants after the three-day suspension of work and the limited space in the Consular Offices.
The DFA reiterates that DFA-Aseana (Paranaque City) will be open on Saturday, 18 November 2017 to accomodate applicants whose appointments at the DFA-Aseana or at Satellite Offices in the NCR were displaced by the work suspension.

Please Note that all Passport applications processed on Saturdays are charged Php 1,200.00.
Applicants are advised to bring a printout of their confirmed passport appointment (originally scheduled on 13, 14, or 15 November 2017) along with the other requirements for their passport application.
