Express is 7 working days...Originally Posted by fred
Just had a quick look..If you are lucky enough to get an early appointment date (our appointments took 6 weeks) then after processing she has to pay 1,200 Peso`s for a "rushed" passport...
15 days!!

...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
Thanks everyone for your input.
As I said, Maricris went to her local DFA in Tacloban and was told to go to Manila in the morning. The man said it would take 7 days to process. Nothing was said about online applications but, like Maricris said, it was closed so she will go tomorrow.
But according to Fred, she will not get in. She needs to apply online.
Should I phone Etihad and explain her problem? She only has 14 days then back to UK. Maricris is going to the DFA Manila tomorrow. She will let me know how it all went.
As soon as they noticed the damaged passport, I should have said holiday over - let's go home - at least we could have sorted her passport here in the UK. Poor woman is stressed, having not had a chance to be with her family properly. Not seen where her Dad was buried. Just running around for her passport.
My bad!! Damned Wiki how site says 15 days. (step 8)

I have already stated what I would do,re travel on existing passport.. No advice intended as that would be my personal decision.But according to Fred, she will not get in. She needs to apply online.

What are Etihad`s re booking policies?
Would it be too expensive for her to stay another week or two?
Ahh what the hell.. Let her spend Christmas here in the R.P!!
Tell her not to get all stressed out. Life is too short!
If she could stay another week, I don't think she would, she thinks running round Manila is mental compared to sleepy Rossendale, plus she will miss the snow. Just a quick update:
Maricris arrived at DFA this morning and said the queue was long, but got a nice lady who said she should get a new passport. Maricris paid 950 Peso and was told to pick up her new passport on the 12th. So, hopefully, everything will be ok.
Many thanks everyone for your advice and support.
