Applying for a UK passport in the Philippines
If you are living in the Philippines, you can apply for or renew a passport through the British Embassy Manila or through our Honorary Consuls in Angeles City, Cebu or Subic. Straight-forward passport applications take ten (10) working days to process from the receipt of a correctly completed and paid for application.
There is no fast-track service available. It is therefore essential that you apply for your passport well in advance of your planned travel date.
With effect from 1st April 2008, unsuccessful and withdrawn passport applications will not be refunded and restricted validity passports may no longer be extended gratis.
