How To Renew Your Passport in Riyadh

If there is only one ID a Filipino should have, it should be a passport. Not only is it one of the most recognized documents in the Philippines, it's also the most recognized ID in any part of the world. Don't get caught not having without a passport, much less an expired one. So, make sure you renew your passport on time. Please remember that traveling in most countries will require you to have a valid passport for 6 months. For example, your passport expires on December 25, 2011 and you're traveling to Japan today, they won't let you in the immigration because your passport is no longer valid for 6 months.

When I first went home for vacation in the Philippines, I was so excited and forgot to renew my passport months ahead. Good thing, it only took a month for me to receive my new one or else, I had to re-schedule every thing. My father, who doesn't really pay attention to these "trivial" things, didn't know his passport is expiring in two months and he had to travel to Pakistan for work. He had to ask the embassy for a passport extension, which will only be given with valid (business or emergency) reasons. He finally had his passport renewed and he waited a month or so to receive his new passport.
The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh has recently introduced a new appointment system for e-passports. You don't have to wait in line anymore and you'll be able to request specific dates and time. It would be less hassle for your work or everyday activities. Only renewals are accommodated on this new system. Lost passports and new passports for children will be entertained as walk-ins. The Consular Section will accommodate 120 applicants daily so it is a must to get your appointment. Wag pasaway! :P No appointment, no entry! no processing!

The following information is taken from the Press Release No. 74-2011 (24 August 2011) of the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh.

@Anonymous September 12 11:24AM: Siguro po. Hindi pa po namin nattry na magpa-appointment for renewal kaya hindi po namin alam kung ano ang klase ng inyong email na natanggap.

@Anonymous October 6, 2013 at 10:30 AM: Hindi rin po namin alam dahil nabanggit lamang po ito na malapit sa may Euromarche ngunit hindi po ito bukas araw-araw. May mga iilang araw lamang po sila na inaannounce na ito ay bukas para sa renewal ng mga walang appointment.

@Anonymous October 10, 2013 at 7:27 AM: Wala pong pasok ang Philippine Embassy sa October 15. http://www.philembassy-riyadh.org/index.php/component/k2/item/1999-pr-170-2013

@Anonymous October 11, 2013 at 12:27 PM: Mangyari lamang po na ang embassy ang tanungin tungkol dito dahil magiging problema din po sa pagkuha ng inyong exit/re-entry visa sa Jawazat kung makikita nilang pa-expire na po ang inyong passport within 2 months.

@Anonymous October 13, 2013 at 8:02 PM: Mangyaring magtanong na lamang po sa Philippine Embassy Riyadh. Ang telepono po nila ay +966-01-482-3559.

The Pink Tarha said...

@Anonymous 8:52PM: Kung kayo po ay mage-exit na, may sarili pong panuntunan ang Philippine Embassy tungkol sa mga passports. Maaari po nila kayong bigyan ng travel document or extension para po kayo ay makapag-travel palabas ng Saudi Arabia basta kayo po ay pa-exit na. Mangyari na lamang pong tumawag sa Philippine Embassy.

@Anonymous 4:18PM: Sa akin pong pagkakaalam, pwede pa naman po ninyong gamitin ang inyong passport pabalik ng Riyadh basta kayo ay may contract o dokumentong pinanghahawakan na kayo ay kailangan ng bumalik ng Saudi. Yun nga lang po, baka kailangan nyo ng extension. Tumawag na lamang po sa DFA. Kung kayo naman po ay magre-renew ng passport n'yo sa Pilipinas, kailangan n'yo pong dalhin ang lumang passport at ang renewed passport pabalik ng Saudi. May office po sa tabi ng immigration booth ng KKIA kung saan ninyo kailangang pumunta bago kayo pumunta sa immigration officer para po ma-update ang inyong passport details.

@Anonymous 8:12PM: Bumisita lamang po sa Philippine-Embassy Riyadh website. May section po doon kung saan ipina-publish nila ang pangalan ng mga dumating ng renewed passports. Tumawag na rin po sa embassy para malaman ninyo kung pano makukuha ang inyong bagong passport kung kayo po ay nasa Eastern Province.

The Pink Tarha said...

@Anonymous 7:51PM: You can go to the email that was sent to you with regards to your appointment. There is a link there where you can cancel your appointment.

@Anonymous 9:57AM: You have to go to your HR or the ones processing your passports/iqamas/visas in your office and have them update their records and records in the MOI/MOL. They know what to do. When it comes to visas that are embedded in your old passport, there's no problem with it because the next time you get an exit/re-entry visa, it will already be just printed on paper.

Ms. Pink my passport is expired dis coming sept,, kailan pro b m pwde mag reniew at ilang months po b maximum allowed to denies,..:-)

The Pink Tarha said...

@Ardee: If you're in Saudi Arabia, check what your job position is in your iqama. If your work is of high profession (ie. engineer, doctor, etc.), you can avail of visa on arrival. But if not, then you need to ask your mom to get you a tourist visa from the UAE through a travel agency.

If your passport is expiring this September, I suggest you have it renewed now, or on the first available date in the appointment system of the Philippine Embassy.
