Passport & Consular Services

Please read the following guidelines before applying for visa, passport or consular service:

Application forms are accepted on all working days, in the morning, between 0930 hours and 1200 hours and collection time is between 1430 hours and 1600 hours on the day indicated.

Processing time for visa to a Filipino is 4-6 working day, but may be extended if so required - please check on exact day for collection when you submit the application.

In case of non-Filipino passport holders, time taken to process visa is 4-6 working days.

In case service is required on a holiday or outside working hours, extra charges are levied.

Fees and other charges are to be paid in Philippine Peso only. The Embassy has no facilities for changing currency.

Fees and other charges are to be paid in cash.

Fees once paid cannot be refunded.

Visas to travel to India cannot be issued, if your passport's validity is less than six months and should have enough blank pages.

Please ensure that your application, in the prescribed format and properly filled in, is accompanied by all required documentation, including the required number of photographs where necessary. Ensure that signatures are given wherever required, especially in the two signature boxes on the last page of the passport application form.

For change of name given in your passport, please follow the prescribed procedure.

Please ensure that your contact number is on the form so that we can call you in case any clarification is required.

Please check the spelling of your name, dates etc in the passport/visa or other documents carefully at the time of collection. Despite our best efforts mistakes do happen. This could lead to unintended hardship for you.

All passport, visa and consular services are discretionary and can be refused, especially where there is suspicion of foul play or misrepresentation of any kind. Furnishing false particulars or attempting to obtain a passport fraudulently is punishable under the Indian passport act and can lead to imprisonment and withdrawal of passport facilities.
