Hi Ana,

If you plan to change your passport using your new married name, you can just bring your old passport with your EEA permit along with the new passport whenever you travel. This is if your EEA permit is still valid before travelling. Also, no need to book an appointment in Phil. Embassy. You have to queue just like how it's done in the Philippines. With regards to booking in advance, I guess to not do that unless you receive your new EEA permit if you're planning to renew it and the passport. Hope that helps.

Is it true that it will take forever for them to change my passport in to a new one? I mean the processing time hubbie wants to book in advance so the flights would be a lot cheaper.. what will happen if we will apply the eea2 family permit permit residence at the end of April, will they kick me out if the eea1 visa expires on May 5? so soo confuses , sorry te Rayna

I'm not sure about EEA rules, maybe others can help you about that. About renewing the passport, I think others have done it and process took at least 2 weeks. But still it depends. You know Filipino time..although UKBA is worse than Filipino time..
