    British Embassy Manila.

    Whats the service like in the brit embassy in manila,do you have to make a prior appointment?Do you turn up and sit in a waiting room or queue?My nephew is going to register his ankle-biter as soon as she is born,he knows beaurocracy in the PI is a nightmare having studied there so he is getting a bit stressed at the prospect any hints or tips,advice?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    My experience of the British Embassy in Manila was very good, I'm pretty sure an appointment will have to be made

    Thanks michael,mixed reviews on their facebook page my sis told me,not much factual info on there either,if only it was as simple as picking a phone up and booking an appointment,my nephew is wondering if he will have to take his girlfriend and child from cebu-manila and register the baby as he is only there for five weeks while the child is born and to get the paperwork sorted out.

    No need to register, so not wasting of your time.

    I don't have any idea where the British Embassy is in Manila, we have passed the American one many times.
    Plus I have been somewhere to check my passport stamp and that was near China town.
    My memory in names is rubbish, but I am sure I could still get there.

    My experience with the British Embassy is that you have to book an appointment to apply for visa or passport. This is what it says on the website...
    Register a birth abroad
    You must register your child’s birth according to the regulations in the country where the child was born. They’ll give you a local birth certificate.
    This local birth certificate should be accepted in the UK, eg when you apply for a passport or register with a school or doctor. You might need to have it translated and certified if it isn’t in English.

    Once you’ve registered locally you may also be able to register the birth with the UK authorities. You can only do this if the child was born on or after 1 January 1983.

    You don’t need to register with the UK authorities but it means:

    the birth will be recorded with the General Register Offices or at the National Records Office of Scotland
    you can order a consular birth registration certificate
    You can still apply for a UK passport for your child even if you don’t register the birth in the UK.

    Our other members can also add tbeir opinion and advice regarding this matter.
    But all in all the service I experienced in UK embassy was very good. They are all straightforward and so friendly. Make sure you turn off your mobile once you get there as a protocol. Thanks and goodluck.

    A confirmed appointment is a must. ID's must be submitted so take 2 min.

    Just a question Tawi, but what's the reason behind going to all that hassle just to register the birth ?

    There's absolutely no need for a consular birth registration these days.
    A local birth certificate is completely OK including for UK passport applications.

    As far as Im concerned the Brit embassy is a visa revenue agency ONLY these days..They couldnt care less about British citizens abroad any more.
    If they cant make money from you from filling in a form or making you jump through their pathetic hoops,just give them a miss if you can avoid them!!
    Waste of space IMHO.

    I dont know if you remember,it was years back,one of the embassy staff was involved in some sort of scandal,he issued his mistress with uk tourist visas,i think he had to leave under a black cloud.
