[UPDATE AS OF 24 SEPTEMBER 2020] For the newest public advisory on the Embassy's passport appointment system, please visit the following:
- Reopening Of The Online Appointment Priority System For Passport Applications And Renewals (in English, Filipino and Arabic), 24 September 2020
Please read the Embassy's explanation on the current process for passport applications and renewals:
- On Passport Applications And Renewals Under The COVID-19 New Normal (in English, Filipino and Arabic), 9 June 2020
______________________________________________________________
The Philippine Embassy in Kuwait informs the public that after 84 hours of accepting responses, the second round of the Online Appointment Priority System for passport applications and renewals ended at 8:00 A.M. today, 13 August 2020, as stated previously in our public advisory last 9 August 2020.
The Embassy reminds the public that answering the online form does not automatically grant an immediate appointment slot to a passport applicant. Instead, the Embassy will allocate the appointment slots first to applicants whose passports or visas have expired or are about to expire.
The Embassy will prioritize applicants whose passports or visas are expiring this August and September 2020. Those who registered online last 22-24 June 2020 and 9-13 August 2020—whose passports and visas will expire in October, November, and December 2020—will have to wait before they are scheduled for their appointment.
The Embassy will notify applicants of their confirmed appointment schedule through a list that will be posted on the Embassy’s official Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/PHinKuwait). The public is advised to visit the Embassy’s official Facebook page for the weekly list.
Walk-in passport applications are strictly not allowed at the Embassy.
The Embassy will reopen its online registration for passport appointment after processing all applications that the Embassy has received.

Ipinapaalam sa publiko ng Embahada ng Pilipinas sa Kuwait na matapos ang 84 na oras ng pagtanggap ng mga tugon, ang ikalawang round ng Online Appointment Priority System para sa mga aplikasyon at renewal ng pasaporte ay nagtapos ng 8:00 A.M. ngayong araw, 13 Agosto 2020, tulad ng nabanggit sa nakaraang public advisory ng Embahada noong 9 Agosto 2020.
Ipinapaalala ng Embahada sa publiko na ang pagsagot sa online form ay hindi nangangahulugan na mabibigyan agad ng appointment slot ang isang aplikante ng pasaporte. Bagkus, unang ilalaan ng Embahada ang mga appointment slot sa mga aplikanteng may pasaporte o visa na nawalan na o mawalalan pa lang ng bisa.
Uunahin ng Embahada ang mga aplikanteng may pasaporte o visa na mawawalan ng bisa ngayong Agosto at Setyembre 2020. Ang mga nagparehistro online noon 22-24 Hunyo 2020 at 9-13 Agosto 2020—na may mga pasaporte at visa na mawawalan ng bisa sa darating na Oktubre, Nobyembre, at Disyembre 2020—ay maghihintay muna bago sila maiskedyul para sa kanilang appointment.
Aabisuhan ng Embahada ang mga aplikante ng kanilang kumpirmadong iskedyul ng appointment sa pamamagitan ng listahan na ilalabas sa opisyal na Facebook page ng Embahada (http://www.facebook.com/PHinKuwait). Ang publiko ay pinapayuhang bisitahin ang Facebook page ng Embahada para sa lingguhang listahan.
Ang mga walk-in na aplikante para sa pasaporte ay mahigpit na ipinagbabawal sa Embahada.
Muling bubuksan ang online na pagpaparehistro para sa passport appointment pagkatapos iproseso ang lahat ng aplikasyon na natanggap ng Embahada.
State of Kuwait, 13 August 2020
