The lack of appointment slots for passport application or renewal has always been a problem in the past. It's so hard to get a slot at DFA's passport appointment system. What seems to be the problem? I have some friends from Manila who even flew to Puerto Princesa City, Palawan just to have their passports renewed because it's the only place where there are available slots. That's too much hassle right?
Worry no more! The Department of Foreign Affairs heard our appeal to open more slots so that more Filipinos could apply or renew their passports!

ReplyDeletePwede poh paki inform ako kapag may available slots.. Thank you poh...
ReplyDeleteIlang beses na akong nakakuha ng slots this year for my family last January and now April. Lahat yun a week before the appointment. I can get earlier pa dun. My advice sa mga gustong makakuha ng slot is to check their website regularly. And ito ang dapat nyong abangan:
ReplyDelete1. Cancelled/Rescheduled appointment - nag oopen ang slot kapag may nagcancel or nagparesched ng appointment nila. Random ito at kahit saang location. Kaya dapat lahat ng location icheck nyo rin (if kailangang kailangan nyo na ng passport). My advice is to check for it during waking hours (kung kelan tayo gising at may time para magcancel/resched ng appointment). Tingin nyo kung kayo ang magccancel ng appointment mga anong oras kaya? Paunahan nalang sa pagpapasched kasi paisa isa lang ito.
2. Mass slots from DFA - nagoopen ng maraming slots ang DFA randomly. Nakatsempo ako this January, lahat ng location may available na slots for the month of Jan-June. 11pm onwards ako nagcheck. Hindi sabay sabay na nag oopen yung slots sa lahat ng location (pdeng Aseana muna, then after several mins. sa Manila nmn etc). And then today April 4 11 pm onwards, nag-open sila ng slots for the month of April(10-30), lahat din ng oras open sa lahat ng site location nila. Madalas kong icheck ang website nila (to outwit them), kaya masasabi kong random day ito. My advice is lagi nyong icheck ang website nila, around 11pm-3am (based on my experience). AND!! pag natsempuhan nyong may isang location na maraming open na slot for the same month, wag na kayong umalis sa website nila. haha. the following mins. or hour mag oopen na rin ang ibang location. tyaga lang po kung gusto nyong makakuha ng maaga at malapit na slot sa location nyo. di nyo na po kailangang gumastos tyaga lang po talaga.
Additional advice, pag may nakita kayong slot kunin nyo na (be sure na makakapunta kayo sa day na yun) kahit medyo malayo yung lugar pero willing kayong puntahan o kaya nmn matagal pa yung date. KUNIN NIYO NA. mas ok na may slot na kayo kesa sa wala. Then, before your appointment mag abang kayo ng mas maaga or mas malapit na location at ireschedule nyo na lang appointment nyo. Make sure to confirm it on your email.
Hoping this will help..
hiwalay nyo ung appointment ng renewal sa new applicant.
ReplyDeleteHalos everyday na ako nag che check sa website. Wala paring slots. Ano nalang gagawin nung mga kailangan talaga? Ill rate this -100%. Paki ayos naman ng services nyo. Masyado na pong nakaka abala. Ibalik nyo nalang kasi yung dati.
