REVISED List of appointments for Embassy on Wheels in Al-Khobar on 27-28 January 2011 


As of 24 January 2011 
Advisory No. 007 24 
January 2011 UPDATE: 

The Embassy will have 4 encoders, and therefore will accept all 600 passports applicants listed.

The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh announces that it has posted on its website a revised list of names of passport applicants with appointments for the Embassy on Wheels (EOW) in Al-Khobar on 27-28 January 2011.

Last Wednesday (19 January 2011), the Embassy posted on the website the list of appointments for passport processing during the EOW, but numerous feedback from passport applicants revealed that there had been a serious error in the computerized sorting of the EOW appointments, and thus the need to rectify the list.

The revised list of the 600 applicants will reflect the true sequence of the requests for appointment based of the dates when the Embassy received the e-mail or SMS (text). The Embassy apologizes for the inconvenience that the revised list will cause.

We are introducing the computerized appointment system for the first time, so we beg our kababayans’ indulgence on this matter.

For those who could not be accommodated and their passports have already expired or will expire in the following month, they are advised to request for passport extension (SR80). Those not on this list will be automatically scheduled for the EOW in February 2011.

The additional machines recently received from another Embassy are still being configured, and another advisory will be posted on the website and disseminated to the public to confirm if the EOW could accept the additional 300 applicants.

If 300 applicants will be accepted, the first 200 are advised to come on Thursday 27 January 2011, and the other 100 on Friday 28 January 2011. 

If 600 applicants will be accepted, the first 400 are advised to come on Thursday 27 January 2011, and the other 200 on Friday 28 January 2011. If the additional machines are not ready in time, the Embassy will schedule an extra EOW to accommodate the slots 301-600 or more. 

In case of 2 additional encoders if laptop machines are operational in time for EOW on 27-28 January 2011, EOW will also accept applicants 301-600

Those not on this list will be automatically scheduled for the EOW in February 2011. 1-300 slots with guaranteed appointments (if two encoders only)

Appointments needed for Embassy on Wheels service 



DAMMAM: Starting this year, the consular outreach mission of the Philippines Embassy in Eastern Province, popularly known as the Embassy on Wheels (EOW), will be implementing an appointment system for its passport services.

The adoption of the appointment system, for applying or renewing passports, is meant to ensure Filipino workers do not have to queue at the venue 12 hours before the opening of the EOW.

Embassy on Wheel Schedules in Eastern Province on Nov & Dec 2010

Embassy on Wheel Schedule in Eastern Province on Nov & Dec 2010

To all   of our "Kababayan" in Eastern province Saudi Arabia, the Embassy on Wheel (EOW) Schedules   are on November 25-26 and December 16-17. While in Jubail is on December 9-10
Excuse me for the late posting. Nevertheless there is an advance announcement too. For more details please refer to the Press Release 18 November 2010 from the Philippines Embassy in Riyadh..

PRESS RELEASE NO. -58-2010
18 November 2010

New Schedule of “Embassy on Wheels” in the Eastern Province

There will be two more “Embassy on Wheels” or EOW services in Al-Khobar and one in Jubail before the end of the year.
The EOW will be held at the International Philippine School in Al-Khobar on November 25-26 and December 16-17 with the usual cooperation and support of Filipino community leaders and volunteers from various organizations.

The venue for the EOW in Jubail on December 9-10 will be announced as soon as it is confirmed with the help of the Filipino community in Jubail.

In continuation of the new ePassport services started last month, the following arrangement will be observed at the EOW in Al-Khobar:

Date	Time	No. of ePassports
Nov. 25 THU	8:00AM – 5:00PM	200
Nov. 26 FRI	8:00AM – 12:00PM	150

About one hundred (100) pending ePassport applications from the previous EOW will be prioritized and added to the number to be encoded on Thursday, Nov. 25.

As previously announced, all ePassport applicants are required to appear before the consular staff to have their photos, signatures and finger prints taken, which means there is no need to bring any photos anymore. SR240.00 will be charged as ePassport fee.

To claim their new passports, applicants are once again reminded to bring their old passports and receipts. Representatives must present an authorization letter signed by the concerned applicant.
Because of present limitations in the number of ePassport applicants that can be fully served during the EOW, the Embassy advises those who do not need to renew their passports yet to consider postponing their application, and for those already scheduled to travel within one or two months to apply instead for the extension of the validity of their passports.

The Embassy is once more trying to expand the coverage of the EOW to places with large concentration of Filipinos and studying possible ways of making reservations or appointments for the EOWs in order to address the problem of long queues that usually form around the EOW venue hours before the opening of the service.

BABALA TUNGKOL SA PAGTULONG SA MGA PILIPINONG DIUMANO’Y NANGANGAILANGAN NG TULONG

Nais pong iparating ng Pasuguan ng Republika ng Pilipinas sa lahat ng Pilipino dito sa Kaharian na ibayong pag-iingat po ang kailangang gamitin upang hindi mapinsala ng ilan sa ating mga kababayan na di umano’y humihingi ng tulong ngunit sila pala ay may ibang motibo. Kamakailan lamang ay ipinagbigay-alam sa Pasuguan na may di kanais-nais na nangyari sa Riyadh may dalawang linggo na ang nakakaraan. Ayon sa salaysay ng isang kababayan natin na nabiktima, may Pilipinang tumawag sa kanya na humihingi ng tulong na sya ay ma-”rescue” upang sya ay madala sa Pasuguan o sa Philippine Overseas Labor Office. Bagama’t labag sa batas ng Kaharian ang pagkuha at pagkupkop sa mga tumakas sa kanilang mga sponsors, ni-“rescue” pa rin itong ating kababayan na nangangailangan umano ng tulong. Pagkatapos matagpuan ang Pilipinang humingi ng tulong, sya ay kaagad dinala sa bahay nung tumulong; lingid sa kaalaman ng mga tumulong, ang taong humingi ng saklolo ay may mga kasama palang mga awtoridad. Pagdating sa bahay, ang mga awtoridad ay kaagad pumasok at isa-isang kinilatis ang mga papeles ng mga nakatira sa loob kung may mga taong takas sa amo o mga magkasamang babae at lalake na hindi mag-asawa o magkamag-anak. Ang kababayan naman na di umano’y humihingi ng tulong ay sumakay sa sasakyan ng mga awtoridad. Sa kabutihang palad ay walang kinulong sa mga kababayan nating tumulong sa kadahilanang wala naming nakitang kakulangan sa kanilang mga papeles. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon, muling pinaaalalahanan ang ating mga kababayan na dapat tawagan ang Pasuguan para hindi magkaproblema sa Kaharian. 

Ang Pasuguan po ay matatawagan sa mga teleponong ito: 

(01) 482 3559 

(01) 482 3615 

(01) 480 1918

Sa inyong pakikipag-ugnayan sa Pasuguan kayo po ay aming matutulungan. Maraming salamat po.END

EOW for September Postponed 

The Philippine Embassy today announced that it will have to postpone its consular outreach service or “Embassy on Wheels” (EOW) in Al-Khobar in the month of September upon receiving instruction from the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila.

Through a circular from the Department, all Foreign Service Posts are informed that the Personalization Center for the Machine Readable Passport (MRP) will be transferred to the new Office of Consular Affairs Building on Macapagal Boulevard, cor. Bradco Avenue, Aseana Business Park, Paranaque City, in the third or fourth week of September.

For this reason, Embassies and Consulates are instructed to postpone mobile passport services for the issuance of MRP for the month of September.

The Embassy will make another announcement as early as possible on the next schedule of the EOW at the International Philippine School in Al-Khobar for October.

MRPs that are ready for release to the applicants may be claimed at the Embassy by presenting the old passport and proof of payment. An authorization letter is required in cases where the concerned applicant is not able to personally claim his or her new passport.

A facility for the extension of passport validity is also available at the Embassy for those who might run into an emergency that would require a valid passport. For more details, inquiries can be made through filembry@sbm.net.sa or the Embassy’s hot line number 01-4823559, especially during the Eid break. END
