passport

Just out of intrest how do they amend the passport and does the brit visa need to be changed as well?

We were advised it was simpler and cheaper to change the passport in phill before applying for a spouse visa. Which is what we did and meant the wife needed to go to the cfo to get a letter to give to the dfa (or whatever the phill passport office is called) and then once we got the passport back applied for brit visa.

Although it may take your wife a little longer to come over to the UK but may save a small fortune which can be spent on that new brit wardrobe your wife will need once here.

Passport amendment here in the Phils is just PhP100. But then, DFA said that amendment means i would still be using my maiden name coz it will be the same passport im carrying. Its just that in one page, they are going to put there that im already married and i believe my new name. Its better they said that ill renew my passport if i want to use my married name. Passport renewal is just PhP500 for regular processing which is 1 week. PhP750 if we want it in 2-3 days. My passport expires on 2010, but Im going to renew mine before i will apply for a visa.
