The Philippine missions in the UAE have issued guidelines for services they are extending to Filipinos who are seeking UAE visa amnesty, including how to apply for a replacement for lost passports.
Applicants who absconded from their employers may inquire at the Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai if their passports were surrendered and turned over to them.
If the passport is not among those turned over to the embassy or consulate, the applicant must file a police report and request a lost passport certificate. In Dubai, this can be done through Dubai Police's website or mobile application. Lost passport certificates may also be acquired from the police station that has jurisdiction over the area where the applicant's visa was issued.
