In compliance with regulations that have been adopted by all countries around the world, the Philippine Embassy in Kuwait reminds the public that it no longer extends the validity of Philippine passports, without exceptions.

The said policy follows a directive from the Department of Foreign Affairs to comply with the rules of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Chicago Convention.

The Filipino community in Kuwait is reminded to apply for passport renewal at the Embassy seven months to one year before the expiry date indicated on the passport data page. Thank you for understanding.
