Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...
Before we can consider flying International we need to make sure we have a valid passport that has six months allowance.
The hard part in the Philippines to schedule you an appointment is to check online at their website at the DFA Online Appointment. We come across when there are unavailable slots. You are lucky where there is an available slot open in color green on the calendar.
The tension comes when you're filling up the forms giving you either thirty minutes.
What happens when you have exceeded your time frame? You'll lose your slot that you would like to book online. The worse everyone wants to grab that slot and you have to go back from the beginning.
Why not fill up the DFA Forms ahead of time? You'll feel less pressure at least DFA will have it filed in their system when you plan to book your next DFA Online Passport Appointment Form.
Make sure you have the following documents next to you which are the following:
- Passport (renewal)
- Birth Certificate
- Marriage Certificate (married)
You have a printer able to access to print the DFA Application Form to present when you have an online schedule to report to the DFA in person.
Carmina thought if she had filled up the DFA Online Passport Appointment Form it would retrieve when you plan to book yourself an appointment.
Guess what? It doesn't work that way you will still have 30 minutes timed up to fill up the application form when you have found a slot while booking your appointment.
Carmina's suggestion is to memorize your birth certificate, passport and contact number or else you will struggle due in time someone else has gotten your slot from you.
Make sure you have funds on your GCash, Paymaya or Credit Card to be able to purchase your Filipino Passport online the amount is PHP 950.00 plus additional charge if you prefer to rush your passport paying additional PHP 250.00 and to be delivered to your address is additional of PHP 200.00.
Make sure you are under the name of the card holder or else it will be failed and you will need to use another way to pay for your transaction.
You will receive an email that you have a DFA appointment and forms to be printed and make sure you bring those with you on the time scheduled along.
Tips:
Carmina will give you a tip how DFA Online really works to get a slot for yourself. They are playing red light and green light the time the calendar will appear on green is when you go the time of the following 12:00 PM, 9:00 PM, 12:00 AM and 8:00 AM.
It is just my observation and was informed by Mary Ann who was also going through a tough time getting herself an appointment.
Mary Ann and Carmina have been discussing on the topic we have research on what DFA is doing to everyone.
Mary Ann and Carmina was able to succeed to make an appointment from playing their game on us.
Read my next article on the actual appointment at Carmina's Experience in the DFA Robinson's Magnolia Philippines.
