Passport Amendment Process (Singapore)

Yesterday, Doms and I had to get up early. Why? I need to amend my green passport and at the same time, renew it. I also need to get a pair of Overseas Employment Certificate or OEC, because I will be having a short Manila trip again this weekend to visit my dentist. It was a Sunday so most of the Pinoys here in SG will also do the same thing.

We arrived at the Philippine Embassy in Singapore 15 minutes before it's actual opening time. I was so surprised becasue my queue number is 147 already and the cut-off was 150. Can you believe it?!?! 146 people came in earlier than us?!?!

Anyway, Passport Amendment and Pass Renewal has the same queue number. All the while I thought amendment and renewal are the same. I was wrong.

I need to amend my green paspport first, then that's only time that I can renew it.

Processing fee for amending my passport is 34SGD and passport renewal costs 102SGD.

I will be getting my amended passport tomorrow and that's the only time I can apply for my renewal. I hope everything goes well with the renewal process.

Claim Stub for my Passport. See how my name is changed already?
