Mom Violy's DFA Appointment


While on the last few days before Mom Violy and Carmina are set to leave the United States just out of curiousty I wanted to know how someone not being in the Philippines can make an appointment at the DFA located in your home town.

Carmina went to Passport appointment to schedule Mom Violy while filling her application online having her Filipino Passport and birth certificate with me.

I was able to schedule her the month of August.

The only problem is the payment became an issue not having access to pay through credit card the one used in the Philippines. Since we're consider roaming the OTP couldn't be retrieve since we put our international phone on flight mode to prevent excess charges on our trip.

Mom Violy didn't want to use the credit card in the United States there will be a foreign exchange rate charge.

I decided to go on off the counter payment and paying it when returning back to the Philippines since it gave me enough time until my deadline was due on July 14 the morning I arrived.

I was able to pay through Gcash on my phone and a confirmation was sent through via-email and copy of Mom Violy's application to be printed.

Since I had no printer access due living with Mom Violy. I forward the email who had access to a printer.

There are always ways to do it you can always ask someone to pay if you know anyone living in the Philippines.

Next step the day of Mom Violy's DFA appointment where you'll be able to read next month of August.
