It’s been a while since I’ve last transacted with the Consulate Office of the Philippines here in Ho Chi Minh City. After finally getting my son’s birth certificate and passport back in 2013, I was happy not to come back, because that was an arduous process.
So anyhoo today, I visited the consul to have some documents authenticated. And I was informed that they’ve changed their schedule! And it is much much more convenient for everybody!
Hey Pinoys! Their schedule is now Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 – 11:30 am and 1:30 – 4 pm! How about that? More time to transact!
Hello Saigon! 
Hi, does it mean that they also have a fixed authentication processing schedule now as well? Or does everything take long still because of the time it takes to manage documents in Hanoi?
If authentication only, it’s all done in HCMC. The transaction period is still one week, and 3 days for rush transaction.
