Where to renew

The steps

  1. Book a free appointment online (the Philippine Embassy’s online appointment system). Appointments sold through social media or fixers are not genuine.
  2. Go on your date with your current passport and the documents asked for.
  3. Pay AED 240 at the cashier (AED 600 for a lost or damaged passport).
  4. Collect the new passport — usually after 5 to 8 weeks, at the place where you applied.

When to renew

The Consulate advises renewing about 10 months before expiry. Adults get a 10-year passport; under-18s get 5 years.
