I lost my passport in the Philippines. Can I reissue it?

There are so many Chinese in the Philippines that people lose their passports every day. Passports are the most important documents for Chinese overseas, just like domestic ID cards. However, when people are overseas, passports are used frequently, so they must be reissued in time if they are lost. In the embassy to reissue the certificate, sometimes the passport is reissued, and sometimes the travel permit is reissued, so what you want to reissue is the passport?

Is it okay to reissue a passport?

This kind of situation is generally decided by the embassy, and there is also a basis for the embassy to issue a passport or a travel permit. If you want to reissue a passport, you need to hold a long-term visa from the Philippines. The long-term visas for the Philippines include: 9G work visa, 13A marriage visa, SRRV and sirv immigration visa. Only when you hold a long-term visa can you reissue your passport. The validity period of the passport is ten years, which can satisfy friends who hold a long-term visa from the Philippines.

Since holding a Philippine long-term visa is a passport, then holding a Philippine short-term visa is definitely a travel permit. Philippine short-term visas include tourist visas and business visas, which can stay in the Philippines for up to two years. Holders of these two types of visas lose their passports in the Philippines to reissue their travel permits.
