Passport

 

WHAT IS A PASSPORT?

A passport is a traveller’s single most important document. It is a requirement when leaving or entering a sovereign state and /or country.

Your passport is also recognized as a valid Identification (I.D.) locally and all other countries. Thus, in any travel (leisure or business) outside your local country, it must be always secured, and on-hand at all times.

In addition, for Filipino passport holders who are planning to exit the country, your passport must be valid at least six (06) months from the date of expected travel.
