passport validity
By oliverdv_me •
I am leaving for my vacation this coming december till january. Is it true that the old passport (green color, regardless expired or not) will be valid only until January 2010? How we gonna change to colored brown passport if our Visa is stamped on it? or are they gonna give us two passports green and brown but same passport number?
I was advised to search for anything you want since the QL is already been running ages ago.

its still valid, search for embassy circular 03-09 issued by the philippine embassy here in qatar....goodluck.

Green passports and machine readable passports are still valid until the expiry date.
some time ago where an attached circular from Phil Embassy in Doha states that there will be no issuance of greenpassport any longer but your present greenpassport is still valid until the expiry time of the said passport (that was my understanding on the circular)...you can ask the filexpat group about the link so you can peruse it for yourself...
if passport is renewed and rp is still valid on old passport, how mant times can you travel before you have to get the visa transferred to new passport?
As far as i know you have until April 2010 to use the green colored passport. Have it renewed once u get home, but make sure you have the old passport with you attached to the new one, to show to the Immigration coz u have the stamp/legality of our papers on there. Should you renew your passport you will get the latest on with micro-chip really high-tech and not the machine readable anymore which is the brown one.
