Do I need to go to the embassy to reissue my passport in the Philippines?

To reissue a passport in the Philippines, you need to go to the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines for reissue. Before reissuing, you need to make an appointment for reissuing the passport on the official website of the embassy. You can go to the embassy for reissuing the passport at the time of appointment. It should be noted that the embassy's business processing time is 09:00-11:00 a.m. from Monday to Friday. If you need to reissue your passport, you need to arrange the time reasonably.

The following two situations will occur when the passport is reissued at the embassy.

First, a long-term visa in the Philippines is required to reissue a passport. If not, the reissue will be a travel permit;

Second, if the embassy inquires that the applicant has a criminal record in the country during the passport replacement process, it will issue a certificate of return to China.

How long is the validity period of the passport reissued at the embassy?

The validity period of the new passport successfully issued by the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines is 10 years. When the travel permit is reissued, the validity period is 2 years. If the return certificate is issued, the validity period is 3 months. If there are special circumstances, you need to specify to the embassy. You can renew it for one month, but you can only renew it once, and you must return to China within the validity period.
