I really appreciate how our government helped us OFW/OWWA members especially now in the middle of pandemic.For 10years of being OFW I must say that all the staff are now very accommodating and very helpful. Unlike way back 2012/2013.Please also bear with them as they really doing their best to assist us.

At least have someone answering us in whatsapp to give us the right person to contact in the consulate with our inquiries rather than saying ask the procedure in your local area in Philippines. Furthermore, I called few times on the landline but wasted my time as I receive no answer. As we are doing our best to contact you even in our busy schedule we ask that please do your part as well.

The security in the main gate are very accommodating. You have to prepare all required documents for you to be able to allowed access inside the premises.. the personnel inside are friendly. They will give you stab and will ask you to proceed inside the next room in the building.It was a bit crowded when I went there so be very cautious with social distancing as the space inside is not big enough. Once your number will be called, go to the counter and present all required documents. After verification, you will then ask to proceed to the cashier and pay the amount. After that you will then ask to come back on the date to collect the documents.Overall the whole process was smooth, it took me about less than an hour. just make sure that all your documents are complete.

Secure first your appointment online not only for passport but also for affidavit, notarization and Consular services.Slot is full so plan ahead your appointment.Just apply today my appointment but the earliest available schedule will be on September 27.

I HOPE THERE WAS ZERO STAR OPTION TO SELECT. WORST CONSULATE EVER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. NO ONE IS BOTHERED TO ANSWER OUR CALLS. HORRIBLE. TRIED CALLING 3 DAYS DURING DIFFERENT TIME OF THE DAY.

Why do you let all your low class workers come to the UAE and destroy the market and service standards of the United Arab Emirates? Can you please ensure that your government reinitiates citizens of the Philippines have approvals to leave the country, and pay money at the airport? Because if you dont do that consumers have to suffer.

I had a very bad experience renewing my passport, that was the first time I will renew and visited Philippine consulate. I was attended with the old lady wearing glass and I’m not familiar with her name she was assigned on the 3rd counter and verifying my documents if I have fill everything what to be done but I have missed something to fill on that form and I was surprised with her words and felt shy on that day in front of many people behind me, because she have told me that I don’t know how to read and understand and she was telling something on the lady beside her that β€œIt’s seems like I’m teaching grade school here and it’s better to teach my grandchildren because they can easily understand” Then I said apology because that was the first time I renew my passport so I have no idea. I was feeling bad that day and looking for some complaint box but unfortunately I couldn’t find anything. This is a good thing that I found online feedback so our government can orient their workers not to be rude in front of anyone. I hope this feedback would help to improve the customer service or attitude of those staff towards anyone else (OFW).Thank you and Regards.

Went to philippine consulate to renew my passport and everything went well, staff in the Hall C were very accommodating and friendly but on the passport processing there is one old lady I hope she knows that she is working as customer service. Such a shame on how she talked so rudely to people there! Please give her some training on how a customer service should be!! She is the grumpiest person there

When we process our documents for marriage the lady in the counter she is not approachable and she is not eager to give us proper instructions.Second after we got married last January 2021 till now we didn’t get our despatch number the processing is very slow and I dont understand why we need to pick up our authenticated MC from Philippines? We are expecting to collect here in dubai because we have paid 340aed !The procedure it’s very complicated in general.

My sister wanted to renew her passport but when you get an online appointment it says There are no times available in the current month. Please choose a different month. BUT, all the months until 2022 are the same. How can we renew our passport? I dont believe all the dates are full. Philippine General Consulate, please fix the problem on online appointment.

Very disappointing and inconsiderate! I was there to notarize my documents, and I asked them if they could consider my case since I am pregnant and almost due for delivery but they did not accepted or considered my request. Yes! It is pandemic and it’s just right to control the number of people but my God! No appointment available on their website!!! Nobody answered my calls, the numbers posted outside was totally useless!!!! Super useless cause no one will answer the calls!!! Now, I have given birth and tried to book appointment to report the birth of my baby, but my God, forgive them!!! No appointments available again!!!! Ano na PCG Dubai? Pandemic pero dagdag kayo sa pasakit!!! Maawa naman kayo sa mga OFW!!!

My wife is scheduled to get her notarized document but they wouldnt allow her since she did not pay for an expedite service. Whether its expedite or not her official receipt is stamped with todays date. The office should have informed her in whatever means so that she wouldnt have to waste money, time and effort.

It was a very bad and horrible experience !!!A pregnant women who visited the consulate at earlier time and you could not just let her wait inside with air conditioning room.the security guard name sam feomAfrica maybe was very rude I mention I’mPregnant I almost Painted and you still don’t want me to wait inside his reply was I can callFor an ambulance if you paint so sarcastic and un educated costumer service and very disrespectful.Philipines consulate staff not all but majority rude and not helpful you either find themCheat chatting or busy with mobiles while attending queries they don’t even know how toSmile and very un polite attending costumer lack of costumer service ethics.They are treating they co Pilipino in very degrading service this type of service must be change we are Filipino we supposed to be helpful with each other and considerate we barely don’t have off we only as permissions to leave the work in short period of time just to process very important documents and then we felt rejected sometimes and unattended once we reach to embassy !!!Social media platform is sucks less responsive in terms of call , wats app emails !!!You have to send them couple of emails before they attend you for your inquries all bookings are fully occupied calls no one bothered to answerA very bad way of costumer service!!!Yet we are truly appreciate by other nationalities because we deliver good and efficient high standard of costumer service but in our own government facilities and offices service is worst and very bad .We also work as a costumer service we are trying to please our client professional way even the worst client or complaining clients we encounter.This should be change for the better serve you co pilipinos well they way the deserve to be treated.

Shoutout to the cashier there in hall C, a very RUDE and unapproachable person as a kabayan. Not only the cashier but most of the Filipino staff there in the consulate, The security which is different nationality knows how to respect rather than your our country people. Why your working in Philippine consulate and if you can’t served well your fellow Filipinos. We Are all the same reason why we’re working abroad atleast learn to be respectful!!!

The Philippines consulate does not care about its own people leaving them in the heat and it is so hard to have any contact with any employee. The emergency numbers don’t work at all I don’t know why they have β€œemergency” numbers that don’t even work . Our poor maid is still waiting for her passport to be renewed which is taking 4 months . I have never seen something like this before . Even the embassy itself can’t help us and told us to wait until the passport is sent to our B.O Box and receive a call from the consulate it’s almost 5 months now and we haven’t received any call or anything .

Philippine Consulate General (PCG) is opposite direction of Al qusias police station, if you want to go there just ride a metro train transit and drop by to deira city center, from there go to the nearest day to day Super market,opposirte of deira city center, take the no. 33 RTA bus going to Al qusais police station bus stop. It takes 20 to 25 mins ride because of multiple bus stop station. Stay on the right side of the road, It takes about 5 minutes walking distance from the bus stop going to PCG

The staffs are very rude. If you want to be a public servant you should know how to be one. Very very bad experience this morning at 11 am 02/09/2020. Why would you yell at someone just because she doesnt have a ballpen? Why would you yell at someone just because she forgot to fill up one information? These are what I witnessed. She even made me sit down for 20 mins just because i did not hand out other docs even when i told her that i had it. Replace the old ones, seems like they’re tired already of their work.

Very poor service... today i have an appointment at 3:20pm but the guard didn’t allow me to enter cause i dont have the QR code with me but i have the print out of the screen shot of the appointment that i booked in your system. Unfortunately your system didn’t send me and QR code that the security is asking for while before when i had my renewal i did received it. The worst thing is im waiting outside cause the other guard take the print out that i have and check with the personel inside and also waiting for my colleague that was inside cause i booked for her the same appointment. I know that the QR code is important but why your system allow me to booked an appointment but not sending the QR CODE which is ironic for your staff to say that i didn’t complete my appointment. How can your system say thank you and successfully book. If you cannot honnor that reference id and screen shot print out, why you cannot consider such thing when your system had error and the bad thing the guard who’s on duty not even allow me to sit inside the waiting area while he allow other nationality and he even let other in just showing them the receipt that they have. I travel from sharjah knowing i have a secure appointment cause i waited and give time to just come to my appointment not knowing that i will be devastated that i spent money for fares and now i end up spending 30aed again for the courier because i dont want to go through this again. In this time of pandemic you should be considerate at least for those who try to secure an appointment and show up in the said time and date. I follow the rules but your system had missed/ error sending QR code. I waited outside like beggars in sweat for 40mins waiting for them to consider but your people didn’t not allow the appointment that i have. I hope this will not happen to others. Please tell your guards if they let other nationalities wait inside waiting are with AC and let others go inside just showing the receipt please be equal to all, because i just keep quiet and waited patiently they didn’t consider my presence.
