The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Phnom Penh informs the Filipino Community in Cambodia that, in compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and international regulations, all Philippine Foreign Service Posts will no longer be allowed to extend the validity of Philippine passports.

To avoid problems and inconvenience, Filipinos are strongly advised to file their application for passport renewal at least one year before the expiration date.

Please note that extension of passport validity is different from passport renewal. In passport renewal, a new passport will be printed with a validity of ten years. The current passport will be cancelled upon the release/claiming of the new passport.On the other hand, passport extension entails using the same passport by manually extending its validity for one to two years and was allowed in certain special cases only. This is what is no longer allowed by ICAO.

For inquiries/clarifications, you may contact the Embassy at telephone number (+855) 23 222 303 ext. 24 or 11 or email address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
