[UPDATE AS OF 30 NOVEMBER 2020] For the newest public advisory on the Embassy's passport service and appointment system, please visit the following:
The Philippine Embassy in Kuwait reminds the public that it will only accept 100 walk-in passport applicants during weekdays. Only holders of residence visas that expired before, or are set to expire on 30 November 2020 will be allowed to walk in.
The Passport Application Form can be downloaded online for free, at http://kuwaitpe.dfa.gov.ph/consular-services. Please fill out and print the Passport Application Form at home before going to the Embassy, to avoid being victimized by scammers.
The Embassy advises the public, especially those with expired residence visas, not to camp out outside the Embassy premises during the night and early in the morning. The Kuwaiti Police has been patrolling the Embassy area since last week, because the Embassy is located in an area with security concerns.
Finally, the public is advised to follow a two-meter physical distancing while at the Embassy and its surrounding premises. The Kuwaiti Police is also monitoring those who violate the Kuwait government’s anti-COVID-19 health protocols.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Ipinapaalala sa publiko ng Embahada ng Pilipinas sa Kuwait na tumatanggap lamang ito ng 100 walk-in passport application tuwing weekday. Tanging ang mga may hawak ng residence visa na nawalan ng bisa bago ang, o mawawalan ng bisa sa 30 Nobyembre 2020 ang papayagang mag-walk in.
Ang Passport Application Form ay maaaring i-download online nang libre, sa http://kuwaitpe.dfa.gov.ph/consular-services. Pakisagot at paki-print ang Passport Application Form sa bahay bago pumunta sa Embahada, para makaiwas na mabiktima ng mga manloloko.
Pinapayuhan ng Embahada ang publiko, lalo na ang mga may expired residence visa, na huwag mag-camp out sa labas ng Embahada sa gabi at madaling araw. Nagpapatrolya ang Kuwaiti Police sa paligid ng Embahada simula noong nakaraang linggo, dahil ang Embahada ay matatagpuan sa isang lugar na may mga isyung pangseguridad.
Bilang pagwakas, inaabisuhan ang publiko na sundin ang dalawang-metrong physical distancing habang nasa loob ng Embahada at paligid nito. Binabantayan din ng Kuwaiti Police ang mga lumalabag sa mga health protocol ng pamahalaan ng Kuwait laban sa COVID-19.
Salamat sa inyong pakikiisa.
