Does anyone here know of an agency that assists in passport processing? How much would it cost? Thanks.

Usually mga travel agencies can help you with that for a fee of course. before naay travel agency that's in Cebu PLAZA. pero i think they are too pricy. naa man siguro travel agency sa AYALA mallor SM mall. don't know kung pila na ila rate these days.

sayon ra man mag process og passport and mas cheaper if you do it yourself..

Actually, the company where I am working processes our passports. Got a friend though who'd like to process his.

kung mag process ka on your own.. first secure all the necessary documents, kung wala siya kabalo he can go to the dfa to ask for the list or mebbe u can ask your company for the list of requirements..

den go to the dfa in the morning before they open ( naa duol sa plaza independencia ilang office) to get a priority number, buntag ra na sila mohatag og numbers.

ang picture diay ngadto na lang pa picture kay para dili kalas imong mane pa picture sa studio nya dili diay nila dawaton..

wait for your number to called, pass the papers kung wala problem bayad nya pili-a lang tong express nga 3 days lang , gamay ra ang difference sa normal nga processing..

tapos..

i highly agree! ever since i can remember i've been processing my passport and it was easy , also did my own renewal about 4times already in DFA Cebu its cheaper and it pays to learn how to do it on our own than being too dependent sa travel agency coz with agency sometimes it takes even longer...i also processed my daughters passport in Manila this year, there were a lot of people on que but in the end it was easy as 1,2,3 as long as you have all the documents handy. Besides for a first timer i believe personal appearance is important so in the end you still need to go to the office even if an agent is doing it for u so better do it yourself..

yup for the first timer, naa gyd apperance.. nya ang price sa agency kay morag 2X sa actual fee sa dfa, nya minimum sa agency kay 1 week gyud na sila..

bitaw sakto si gypsy mas maau makabalo gyud ta ani, kay ako sab before company tanan ang process sa among passport, prob kay magsalig ka, kung ikaw na gyud mag lisod na .. gud way to learn man sab ni at least di ta ma ignorante aning mga butanga kay importante baya di lang nato ma realize ba..

heheh.. sige, i'll tell my friend to do it on his own. pila ang processing fee sa dfa?

[d`monyita]

basta alam ko sa agency na gani it can range from 750-900p

ngano dili man uroy dawaton ang picture nga gikan sa studio? and ang dawaton ra kadtong mga naa diha sa may DFA? that's a form of corruption. siguro naay taga-DFA nga gadawat ug cut from the photo studios diha sa DFA ...

i am sure studios nowadays know the requirements for ID photos for passports - the size, white background, with collar, ears should be visible, when smiling teeth should not be visible etc etc ...
