How to Renew Philippine Passport in Hong Kong

OFWs in Hong Kong, here’s a guide how you can renew your passport at the PCG office located at the Queensway, Central district. Please be advised that you should renew your passport months before it expires. The sooner you sign up for an appointment, the better so that you don’t get ‘stranded’ waiting for your travel document to expire.

The Philippines is now enforcing the use of electronic passports (ePassports) among its citizens and is therefore promoting the application of such documents. It takes about two months to process the ePassport and applicants are therefore advised to ensure the submission of their documents at least eight months before their scheduled travel.

If they are working in Hong Kong in any capacity, they are advised to apply at least five months before the expiration of their working visas so as to avoid any kind of complications.
