                                    <li>Under Republic Act. No. 10928, all Philippine passports have a validity period of ten (10) years but Philippine
                                        citizens who are under eighteen (18) years of age shall be issued a passport with five (5) years validity
                                        period. The Department of Foreign Affairs began to issue the new 10-year validity e-passport on 01 January 2018.
                                        Passports that were issued before 01 January 2018 have a validity period of five (5) years.</li>
                                    <li>All Philippine passports must have a validity period of not less than six (6) months for purposes of travel
                                        overseas.</li>
                                    <li>Philippine citizens are advised to note the expiry date of their passport and to apply for a new 10-year
                                        e-passport at the Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Calgary before the expiry date. The requirements for a
                                        new passport and request for appointment for passport application are found in the PCG website at <a
                                            href="http://www.philcongencalgary.org">www.philcongencalgary.org</a>. All passport applications must be by
                                        appointment. You may book online at <a href="https://www.passport.gov.ph/">https://www.passport.gov.ph/</a></li>
                                    <li>If a Philippine passport has a validity period of less than 6 months, the passport cannot be used for travel
                                        from Canada to other countries except for a one-way direct flight to the Philippines. Before buying your airline
                                        ticket knowing that your passport is valid for less than 6 months, you must first call the airline company to
                                        relay the validity period of your passport and to seek advice if you can board the flight to the Philippines.
                                        Purchase your airline ticket for the Philippines only if the airline company confirms that you can board the
                                        flight with a passport that is valid for less than 6 months. Upon arrival in the Philippines, apply immediately
                                        for a new passport at any DFA passport office. An expired passport cannot be used for the return flight to
                                        Canada. A new passport is therefore needed. Please note that the application for passport in the DFA passport
                                        office is also done by appointment. For more information, please visit <a
                                            href="http://www.dfa.gov.ph">www.dfa.gov.ph</a>.</li>
                                    <li>If a Philippine passport has expired, the passport cannot be used for travel to any country including the
                                        Philippines. The Philippine citizen must file for a new passport at the PCG Calgary and wait for the new
                                        passport. The requirements for a new passport and request for appointment for passport application are found in
                                        the PCG website at <a href="http://www.philcongencalgary.org">www.philcongencalgary.org</a>. All passport
                                        applications must be by appointment. From the time the passport application is signed by the applicant and
                                        accepted by the PCG, it will take about 8-12 weeks for the passports to be delivered from the Philippines to
                                        Calgary and upon receipt will be mailed promptly to the applicants, if the applicants opted to receive their new
                                        passport by mail. Otherwise, the new passport may be picked up at the PCG. Your confirmation of passport
                                        application and receipt of payment will state the specific date for the release of your passport by the PCG.

                                    <li>If a Philippine citizen must travel to the Philippines for an emergency with an expired passport, a Travel
                                        Document (TD) can be issued by the PCG. The information and form for TD may be downloaded from the PCG website
                                        at <a href="/travel-document">www.philcongencalgary.org/travel-document</a>.</li>
