Go to Philippines on May passport expire on June

Santiago_Vargas_24Santiago_Vargas_24 MelbournePosts: 40Member
I am going home to Philippines for my annual holiday on May 2013, but my passport will expire on June 2013. I called the consul office they said there is no passport validity when returning to your own country. I'm planning to renew my passport immediately when I get to the Philippines. Will be back to Australia on May 24. Do you think I will encounter a problem during my travel to the Philippines. My flight will be from Perth - Kuala Lumpur - Manila. Thanks.

    you definitely will have problems; countries normally do not allow allow with passport validity less than 6 months; whilst it is true that walang bearing ang passport validity when returning to your own country, paano pagpasok mo sa KL? i assume you are taking air asia x right? immigration in KL may prevent you from entering KL with passport validity at only 1 month.

    also, how long is your vacation in the philippines? i don't think renewing is going to take just a few day, parang matagal ata bago ka mabigyan ng passport.

    why don't you renew it there nalang whilst you still have 2 months? friendly suggestion... :)

    @psychoboy Yap, alright. I will renew it nalang here inAustralia. Kaya lang sa May 29 pa yung passport ma rerenew at two months pa before makuha. So, May-July pa ang papalipasin ko. August na ako makaka bakasyon nyan. Thanks sa advice, tama ang tanong, papano nga makakapasok sa KL. Thanks. Tanong ko din, Dadaan ba ng Immigration sa KL kung lilipat lang eroplano? Thanks

    Depends - it is best to check your airline on this...

    However, the fact remains na problema yang passport mo ngayon. Usually kasi useless na ang passport kapag less than 6 months nalang ang validity. Try to renew that asap irregardless of whether uuwi ka or hindi. Can't you do it earlier ba than May?

    Renew sa Pinas may not be an option as limited lang din yung oras mo dito...

    How about passport extension; do they still offer that? My brother requested this before and he was given 2 yrs.

    @psychoboy Sa May pa pupunta dito sa Perth yung magpapa renew ng passport. They will be here on May 29-June 1 else pupunta ako ng Canberra. Mahal ang pamasahe at wala oras para pumunta pa ng Canberra.
    Kung hindi naman dadaan ng Immigration sa Malaysia para lumipat lang ng Eroplano, I will take the risk. I will ask again the Travel Agency about this matter or I will call the Canberra Phil Consulate. What do you think? Thanks

    May rush passport renewal naman yata sa DFA, one day lang kuha na. Thanks

    Hi, I called the consulate and they just said no passport validity when returning to your own country. so malamang walang problema kapag pauwi ka ng sariling mong bansa.

    @psychoboy ok...dito nalang ako mag rerenew. eto ang sabi ng consulate dito sa perth




    Passport Processing


    All new or renewal of Passports are now issued only in the Philippines and mailed back to you in Australia. The only part of the process that an applicant completes in Australia is to attend personally when the Mobile Passport Team next visits Perth, for the taking of photo and fingerprints. You may send the completed application for the new Epassport now to Canberra.

    The Mobile Passport Team with the equipment for photo and fingerprint processing will be next visiting Perth on 29 May to 1 June 2013,


    kaya, hintay nalang ng ilangbuwan pa. Thanks

    i dont want to give you negative idea.. im not sure kung naalala nyo ang news before
    maraming gumawa nyan , umuwi ng pinas tapos inisip na dun na lang mag pa-renew..

    ang problema, nasira ang printing machine ng passport sa pinas..
    nadelay ang mga nagtratravel... delayed not days.. but several weeks..

    im sure not hindi nmn ito mang-yayari ulit, but better safe than sorry...

    kaya nmn, importante na i-renew ang passport habang maaga pa..
    un lang.. lol..

    hi guys, i was reading this thread as I was exactly on the same situation. I am on a 457 visa with passport expiring on June 2013 and going back for holiday to Philippines on May (for a month). There is just one thing which added more complications on my situation, as I have waiting for my visa decision for ENS 186 which until now eh wala pa din update. I called DIAC for timeframe and they can't tell me any time frame allocation, they just told me that standard processing takes 5 - 7 months. I am on my 5th month waiting since I lodge my visa app. So I am expecting at least until April 2013 to get a decision.

    Should I renew my passport now here in Australia or wait for the visa decision till April and renew it on Manila? Any advise guys?

    What is stopping you ba from renewing your visa? Better do it now as good as worthless na visa mo in terms of travelling as it is less than 6months nalang.

    Hassle if you do it sa Philippines - it can take 7 working days for a rush processing. Instead of enjoying your hols, pupunta ka pa sa DFA to apply then kunin yung passport mo. And as mentioned by @lock_code2004, what if masirap ang machine to print these visa diba or naubusan ng materials. Knowing the inefficiencies of our country, hindi ito malayo na mangyari...

    I suggest you do it ASAP to avoid any problems...

    @mykdspyk - i suggest, renew your passport, send "change of passport details" to DIAC for your PR visa application..

    dumating ang PR visa mo before/after your vacation.... you have nothing to worry about..

    hi, i hope may magreply sa akin since feb 19 p yung last post. here is our situation, vacation ng husband ko this december 2013, his passport expires on april 2014 which is less than 6months about to expire from the date of his departure from perth. he tried to submit application form to consular office, but to find our that the consular office didnt receive his application, and so hindi sya umabot s cut-off. he was then advised to go to Cranberra to renew, e mgastos so we look for another option. nalaman ng husbank ko na pwede pala yung travel document ang dala mo and yun ipapakita mo instead of passport.

    may question is pwede ba sya lumabas ng singapore (flight nya kasi perth-singapore-manila) for example three nights before heading back to manila?

    Try to call the consular office if they can extend the validity pero for green passport lang sya applicable, kung brown passport na po di na puede, pero you can still inquire kung puede pa iextend.

    I'm not sure kung papalabasin pa sya ng Australia dahil less than 6mths, and same sa Singapore kung papasukin pa sya dahil less than 6 months na lang, mas lalo na sa Pilipinas kung makapasok man sya, baka i hold sya palabas.

    As far as I know pwede naman makalabas sa Australia kung may dala na travel document however this is only applicable if diretso sya sa Pinas... Definitely with this lang and a passport validity of less than 6 months, hindi sya makapasok sa Singapore nito.

    @Santiago_Vargas_24 you can not come back to australia. Yang ang issue nyan. And i doubt may 1 day passport processing. Sabi lng nila yan pero like me 4-5 weeks pa rin. Walang problem going home to pinas. It is entering or exiting in another country.

    6 months validity dapat ang visa when travelling unless uwi ka na ng pinas without going out again.

    You have to ask yourself:

    (1) Lalabas ba sa Singapore? If lalabas, definitely I don't think makapasok sya sa Singapore with an expiring passport...
    (2) Assuing di maging problema ang #1 how about: paglabas nya sa Manila, paano ngayon? Definitely hindi sya makalabas nito with an expiring passport more so hindi sya makakapasok sa Australia.

    Just get the passport renewal sorted asap... This is a very big problem to be honest! :)

    Share ko lang:

    Before nakalabas ako ng Singapore going to australia na pa 4mths na lang validity ng passport ko, sa SG side no questions ask. Sa Australia side pagpasok, same no questions ask.

    Nung palabas na ako ng Australia, dun ako na question nung IO. He asked me why am i travelling with an expired passport, I responded it is not yet expired. Then he replied as per the policy it should be 6mths valid and he said that I will not be allowed to enter Singapore eventhough he will let me pass Australia, I said I am working in Singapore. Good thing dala ko yung working pass ko, ayun pinalusot nya ako.

    Case to case po, if it's to risky then opt for the safe excuse.....renew your passport ;-)

    @legato09 - it's because your going back to your country of residence (SG) at that time, kaya walang problem... hindi ka nmn i-hohold kung mapakita mo na ang destination mo eh valid residence ka.. this happened to me also.. nung pinakita namin na resident kmi kung saan kmi pupunta, wala ng tanong..

    in @Allysond 's case - pwede din nmn, kasi uuwi sya sa Pinas (Filipino Citizen nmn sya), at pagbalik eh going to AU (walang problem kung may valid visa pa sya going to AU), in both countries, pwede sya mag-stay at mag-renew pag-expired na ang passport nya..

    - the only problem is yung paglabas mo sa SG..hindi ka resident dun, mahigpit sila pagdating sa visa expiration..

    - ang tagal pa ng december, gano daw po ba katagal ang processing ng passport?

    Add ko lng...my sister is a flight attendant. One time naka witness sya... An indian national stop over in h.k. And frim h.k connecting flight to somewhere in china but not same carrier plane. Expiring a yung passport.. D pinalusot ng h.k. Immigration pina turn around back to india. This is at his expense. So meaning he needs to buy tickets going back to india plus he has lost the flight fom h.k to china.

    Renew in sydney 4-5 weeks.. Find a cheap flight. Tiget airways or jetstar for 60-70 per way. Do it all together in 1day anyway 9-1pm lng passport renewal sa embassy. Dont stay overnight na in sydney.

    Ask ko lang po. Ang expiry ng passport namin family (2 adults and 2 kids) eh sa June 2015 anyway, malayo pa po yun pero my husband are going to have his skills assessment end of April dis 2014. I know we will have the passport number send to assessing body as one of the requirements. Si hubby po ay August ang birthday, he will turn 45y/o next yir. Hopefully mahabol nmin yung migration before he turned 45 dahil sa points n pwede namin makuha. Bka po before passports expiry mag renew kmi mababago yung passport number sa application of visa, sa medical, etc. in case ma visa grant kmi. Pwede ba kaming kumuha ahead of expiry? say before visa application.
