PHL Embassy in Riyadh Opens Field Office for Processing of Travel Documents, Releasing of Surrendered Passports



The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh has announced that it will open a field office at Olaya District to offer the following consular services:
  • Processing of Travel Documents;
  • Releasing of Found Surrendered Passports;
  • Extension of Found Surrendered Passports; and
  • Requesting Search for Surrendered Passports.
The field office will function from May 18 to June 05 and will be open for business from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., from Saturday to Wednesday.
The Embassy would like to remind the Filipino community that the current grace period of the Saudi Government for correcting irregular residency and labor status ends on 03 July 2013.
Those who have no new employer to transfer to, especially those without a valid passport, are advised to go home to the Philippines before the end of the grace period. Should they decide to return to the Philippines during the current grace period, they will have to secure a travel document from the Embassy.
The requirements for travel documents are as follows:
  • Colored photo with white background (preferably passport size);
  • Duly-accomplished passport application form (available both at the field office and from the Embassy website) and;
  • Copy of old passport or other supporting documents
Travel documents are free of charge.
The Embassy wishes to emphasize that Filipinos in this situation can still return to Saudi Arabia in the future when they obtain valid visas.
Meanwhile, those who received calls from the Embassy can claim their found surrendered passports at the consular field office. The passport can only be released to the person it was issued to. No representatives are allowed. This service is free of charge.
Those who want to extend the validity of their found surrendered passports can also do so at the consular field office. The extended validity will be one year. The fee is SAR 80.00.    
Filipinos can likewise come to the consular field office and submit a request, via a drop-box, to find their surrendered passport in the Embassy’s database. The Filipino should then await a call from the Embassy regarding his/her request. Request forms are available at the field office. This service is free of charge. END
