People should know that the services being provided now is way much better compared 5 years ago. There's still a lot of improvements to be done, we help them by suggesting not by bashing!
Alice AbrigoJanuary 24, 2013Be nice and courteous to the staff, and they'll be extra nice to you. Oh, and bring cash. They only accept cash.
Karl BustamanteJanuary 14, 2013The new online appointment system for the OEC is pretty impressive. What used to take me 3-4 hours took 5 mins today. It's not peak season though, but still.
There is photocopy self service at the Labor section, but it is payable only via NETS or EZ Link card; 12 cents per page. Air-conditioned. With small public rest rooms.
Get the list of requirements from the website before you go and come early.- Reymund NavarroDecember 17, 2012Passport Renewal is faster compared to doing it in the Philippines. However it costs almost 4x than having processed in the Philippines and it takes 6 weeks before it can be redeemed.
tzurdJuly 23, 2014On passport renewal: even if their instructions clearly states "be exactly during your hour of appointment, not two hours before", still arrive early to get the first number queus!- Mish MisbahApril 7, 2014Wow..so fast service. .I love it..it took me 30mins to get there by taxi..I finished my work in 5 mins..no waiting. .
AdxAugust 15, 2012prepare to waste your whole day. if you are applying for passport renewal, best to send by email. i applied via walk-in was told no slots for 2 months. but via email can get one within the month.
Mark AlessandrewMay 3, 2013Always bring all the relevant documents prior coming down here. You may check them at their official website.
One thing they have done right is not accomodating those late for their appointment. DON'T be late or you'll have to rebook your appointment!
10:12am.72 minutes after opening their gates, Windows 8/9 have received 68 renewal application forms. Window 7 has processed 18. You do the math...
Marianne BagayAugust 1, 2012prepared to get bored, be hassled, and feel how old school pjols can still be even in advanced countries as sg.sheesh!
Bring A Pen. I couldn't stress this enough. Without one delays things. And if you're like who hates borrowing, You shld really bring one!
Ronald MandabonSeptember 6, 2011you have to get pag-ibig reciepts n owwa membership 1st before even attempting to get ur OEC.. para smooth lng ang transition.. ^_^ the embassy isnt as bad as before.. good improvement
Jaczie LoJune 16, 2011Come early to renew your passport. Got in at 7am and was #91 out of #120 quota on a "lean" day (it was raining). Estimate accordingly.
Liza UbaldeDecember 1, 2010The 25 minute walk (or so) from Orchard MRT to here is good exercise. Unless you're wearing heels then it's just a pain. Even when you go on weekdays, Qs are still pretty long. So come early.
Kloé DAugust 16, 2013Contrary to the Phil. govt. employee stereotype, there are actually nice people working here ;)
cosette cruzJune 2, 2011dont go on a sunday because it's the peak day. try going on weekdays after lunch, like wed or thurs 3pm. less people =)
Set an appointment for OEC via http://bmappointment.poea.gov.ph/singapore-appointments/index.php. Walk-in applicants are no longer entertained - at least that's what the guard said :P
Lisa PugadoNovember 21, 2010It opens at 9am but when we arrived early at 8am, the queue outside is so long across the road! I get to have a Q number 200..
getting an appointment takes forever! wat the efff is this OAV registration? systen is sooo inefficient! bring a book to kill the waiting time 
- Don't forget to wear a collared shirt f you're coming for passport renewal. They just sent a n old lady back because she was wearing a tshirt. Good thing she's a senior citizen and gets priority
Liezel BinayOctober 24, 2011Pag Ibig membership & contribution is now a requirement in getting OEC. But lucky the staff never ask one fr me....☺
Nino MercadoOctober 6, 2010want to get a feel of the Philippines? cheapest is to go to the embassy and feel how chaotic it can be
Window 1 lady very friendly & patient. Sure hope other gov't employees are like her.
GraceJanuary 22, 2015So much for being a modern day hero (OFW). Lahat ng hassle at papahirap nasa Pinas na. Such a shame!
Janice ECJanuary 21, 2013Bring extra copies of everything (supporting docs, passport and work permits)
Len GuillenSeptember 26, 2013Prepare cash before coming here, no electronic payment facility here yet.
Hiezle ZacariasFebruary 7, 2011closed @ 1230pm for lunchbreak??? do they have to go for lunch at the same time? they reali have to improve on their service standards...
Erwin LazaroSeptember 26, 2011Wow! 47 tips amd all are negative hahaha! The Philippine Embassy seriously needs to shape up!
Mitch DumlaoMay 16, 2012Wished to have a database for easy processing. This take alot of our time :(
Dyep DibayngreysApril 29, 2012Definitely not on sundays! it makes me remember home! lol! processing document's more fun in the Philippines! ;p
Dane FabroaDecember 12, 2010Would you believe that a lunch break exist here! They did't even inform the waiting crowd! it's really Philippine embassy, as the saying goes "only in the Philippines"
- Cyprus Jake MalinaoDecember 27, 2010Perfect if processing is done days after the holidays. Less queue.
never wear sleeveless, slippers and shorts. otherwise they won't let you in
Couldnt help it. But i have to say it. Sorry ......Philippines should be spelled as one "L" and 2 "P" :)
