The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh announces the temporary suspension of E-Passport appointments through SMS or text messages effective 01 June 2012. This is for both consular outreach and for appointments in Riyadh.
All applicants for renewal are advised to schedule an appointment for the renewal of their passport through the Embassy’s website www.philembassy-riyadh.org. The online appointment system allows the passport applicant to choose the date and time of their preferred appointment, and confirms through an email sent by the software.
As appointments for the next two consular outreach missions are full, the Embassy also reminded all Filipinos to plan their intention to apply for a passport well ahead of the expiry date due to the demand for appointments and passports and the capacity of the team to process the biometrics of applicants.
