How do I renew a Philippine passport in Hong Kong?

Philippine passports are renewed at the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong. It is best to do the passport renewal one year before the passport expiry date.

Processing time: 6 to 12 weeks
Passport fee: HK$ 480

As of 2024, applications for passport renewal can be done by scheduling an appointment online or by drop box.

We recommend booking an online appointment for passport renewal to save time at the Philippine Consulate in Hong Kong.

*Reminder: Do not purchase a flight ticket until after your new passport has been released. If there are delays to the passport renewal process, you may not be able to take your flight.

After collecting the new passport, domestic helpers should also apply for the remaining full visa at HK Immigration. For a guide on how to obtain a visa extension, read here.
