Hello mga kababayan ko,
May tanong ako sa inyo…Have you ever tried renewing your passport by mail …sending your old passport and paying through ginko furikomi…to the Phil Embassy in Tokyo?
How long does it take? At saka may problema ba kayong naranasan when using such method? Is there any way of tracing the docs and the money…and the progress of the docs?
Kasi,5 kami in the family…YoOu can just imagine how expensive kung kaming lahat ay pupunta sa Tokyo Embassy…
Thanks po sa mga payo ninyo…
Cheers,
Chameleon

Hi chameleon,
I renewed my passport through mail. You can pay through genkin kakitome (現金書留) at the post office and send it along with the following documents.
Duly accomplished passport application form. Download the pdf file here (http://philembassy.net/tokyo/downloads/Passport%20Form.pdf) .
Three (3) passport-size photos
Old passport - to be presented for cancellation but will be returned to applicant
Copy of the following pages of old passport:
data page
visa page
page bearing the signature of the signing officer
Self-addressed stamped envelope
The renewal fee is ¥10,500. This is the amount you will send through kakitome. Processing takes 10 days.

Hi there, yung cousin ko naman ang nangyari may sideline yata ang mga tao duon kasi may required picture sila so nag pa picture na naman doon sa embassy mismo siempre may bayad. Tiningnan namin ang picture , wala namanng kaibhan sa dala namin (backround and size) Pero mga corteous ang mga tao doon para naring mga Hapon. Sana ganyan mga staff sa offices sa Philippines. Thanks for the space.

Thank you Paul and everyone for the replies and ideas…
By the way, saan ba dapat magpakuha ng passport photos? Hindi ba puwede sa mga instant
booths na nasa tabitabi ng mga department stores throughout Japan?
Ang iba daw ay pinapaulit pa…which might mean pag mailed,eh di ibabalik pa sa atin?
Thanks again…

I have heard that in Japan one has to go to the passport office in person, even if one is a child or a very old person.
How kind and easy Philippine Embassy is!

Can I ask you a question?? Nung nagpunta ka ba ng France, England, Swiss ba yon at sa Tate… Ganyan din ba ang mga ugali ng mga taga Phil Embassy people natin doon?? O talagang ganyan ang mga turing nila sa mga country men nila dito sa Japan… :rolleyes: … Ay oo nga pala, isama mo na rin yung last mong punta ng Bangkok at nagpa masahe ka ng Thai massage para matanggal ang manas mo… he he he… Bat di mo ko sinama… … Thanxs sa Info mo… sa uulitin…

Hello Belle,
Ang tanong mo ay kung pwedeng gamiting ang online na forms nila.Sure,my husband used it to fill up his application form and sent the form together with
genkin kakitome (registered money order ba iyon) worth 10,500 for the passport with enclosed registered return envelope worth 1000 yen…Of course,you should have the 2 or 3 photos ba iyon at saka your old passport…They will mail you back the finished new passport in 5 to 7 days…all these based on that single experience…
Good luck…

ka TF totoo po yun na masusungit mga tao sa phil embassy pero d naman lahat.nung nag renew ako ng passport,di ko gaanong narinig yung babae(di ko alam name kasi wala silang name tag.takot siguro maisumbong sa dfa)sinigawan ako.nakakahiya…ta ndaan nyo yung babaeng may edad na medyo maitim tapos maiksi buhok.
sabi ko i mail na lng nila kasi ibaraki pa pinanggalingan namin.after 4 days tumawag kasi d daw gaanong maputi yung background ng picture.kelangan magpadala uli picture.pinakuruneko ng hubby ko.after 3 days tumawag uli sila kc yung picture daw.nagreklamo hubby ko sa kuruneko eh me 2 days na palang natanggap ng taga embassy.napahiya pa tuloy asawa ko.
nag sinungaling na lang ako sa taga phil. embassy na hinihintay na ng lawyer ko yung passport kasi gagamitin sa immigration.ayun after 3 days tanggap ko na yung passport ko.:yesyes:
