No Advance Payment, No Passport Appointment in DFA-ASEANA


Advertisement


To avoid no-show and to prevent fixers from reserving slots and selling them to passport applicants, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) now requires prepayment for passport application and renewal.  Last April 14, DFA has started its e-payment system in ASEANA with a goal to make passport processing faster and more convenient.  In an advisory, DFA said that starting April 14, all passport application and renewal appointments at the DFA-Aseana site will require pre-payment via its Passport e-payment facility. The e-payment system allows passport applicants to pay the processing fee through banks and other platforms.  Cimafranca said this system is expected to prevent fixers from reserving slots and selling them to passport applicants. It is also seen to improve show-up rates.

If a consolidated version out of this three laws or even one of this would come into law, this is a great help for our modern day heroes, our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). These 2018 three bills are being filed in the House of Representatives seeking to provide retirement benefits and welfare assistance to OFWs

The Canadian government will no longer accept an application for permanent residency from caregivers starting November 2019. Because of this, applicants to the program including many Filipino caregivers are unhappy with the news. The Philippines is among the top source of Canada's caregiver.

Every Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) should be an active member of Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA). Through this membership, OFWs can avail of loans, acquire scholarship from TESDA, and avail of livelihood and entrepreneurship seminars and other reintegration programs upon their return to the Philippines.

There are four types of passport appointment scam according to DFA Undersecretary Joel Montales. 

1. The "Pure Scam" — Scammers fill-up the application form for the applicants and put a false barcode on it to trick the applicant that the form has been submitted to the DFA.

2. The second type of scam is misleading the applicants to use the courtesy lane and make an appointment.

3. The third type provides an appointment for the patrons through a courtesy lane by giving them falsified endorsement letters or authentic ones which they acquire with a fee. 

Montales said, “We’ve seen falsified endorsements and we’ve received information that applicants get authentic endorsements for a fee.”

4. The fourth type deceives the applicants by getting them schedule through the online appointment system but the slot would turn out to not reserved for the applicant.
Montales added that this scams often use fraudulent Facebook pages. So if you already have your online appointment slot for passport application, make sure you get it from DFA website itself and not from any other person or scammers out there.
