Philippines ePassport Renewal Centre launched in Kuwait City
The Republic of the Philippines Department of Foreign Affairs and VFS Global, the world’s largest visa outsourcing and technology services specialist for governments and diplomatic missions worldwide, has signed a contract for the establishment of the first Philippine ePassport Renewal Centre in the State of Kuwait.
The centre has started to accept passport renewal requests on appointment basis from Sunday to Thursday between 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM
This is the first time The Republic of the Philippines Department of Foreign Affairs has outsourced its passport renewal process in the State of Kuwait.

Customers may opt for:
■ Form Filling Assistance: Personalised assistance from professionally trained staff for completing online application form.
