Mobile Consular Mission to Perth (Advisory # 2)

/ advisory


1:00PM (AWST/Perth time) / 3:00PM (AEST) 09 July 2021 – The Philippine Embassy in Canberra has now opened the passport online appointment system for the Mobile Consular Mission to Perth, Western Australia which will be held at the Filipino Australian Club of Perth Inc. (FACPI) Clubhouse, 1 Catherine St, Bedford WA 6052, from 9 to 13 August 2021.

The Embassy appreciates the understanding of the public on the challenges in efficiently and safely conducting mobile consular missions during the pandemic while still ensuring that normal operations and all consular services are maintained in the Philippine Embassy in Canberra during the period that a significant number of its personnel are in Perth serving our kababayans.

As previously announced, this mobile consular mission will be the first of two scheduled missions to Perth for 2021. This mission will serve (a) Filipino citizens whose passports have expired or have been extended and (b) minor Filipino children who will apply for a Philippine passport for the first time. The second mobile mission scheduled later this year, subject to health and travel conditions, will be open to all Filipino citizens.

Please click on the link “Book an Appointment in Mobile Mission Perth” through the link booking.philembassy.org.au and create an account which will allow you to book an appointment. If you already created an account in the Embassy’s appointment system, you may directly book an appointment after logging in using the same link. Payment is not required to secure an appointment.

To ensure compliance with COVID19 and social distancing regulations, the Embassy is unable to accommodate walk-in applicants during the mission.

To avoid unnecessary inconvenience or expenses/charges on the part of the applicant, please do not send any documents by post to the Philippine Embassy until you have been notified to do so via email by the Philippine Embassy.

The Embassy also wishes to remind the public of the following:

  1. If your passport is not yet expired but will be expiring soon, please contact the Philippine Embassy in Canberra at passport@philembassy.org.au or the Philippine Consulate in Perth at philconsulperth@iinet.net.au to apply for a one-year passport extension one (1) month before the expiry date of your passport; This service can be done by mail and does not entail personal appearance at the Embassy/Consulate.

  2. Year-round passport renewal services continue to be available at the Philippine Embassy in Canberra and the Philippine Consulates General in Sydney and Melbourne, except during lockdowns and declared holidays.

For further queries, please email mobilemissionperth@philembassy.org.au. All queries will only be responded to via this email address.
