Hello All!

First of all, im maria,27,filipina and i have a syrian bf and he want to travel to the philippines. However, there are some problems:

1. His passport will expire on April 2014, (8months from now) *still valid*
2. How can he renew his passport here in riyadh
3. I checked the website of phil embassy and they require an approval from their embassy for him to travel to phil,(How can he get this if the Syrian embassy in riyadh is closed? *BIG PROBLEM*
4. If we will get married, will that help him to travel to the philippines?
5. Thank you so much.聽

I really want him to visit my country and my family. I would really appreciate the help especially from Syrian nationals. Thank you so much in advance to those who will reply. God bless.

He should have relatives to help him to have an authority to travel. Marriage may help only if he is allowed to come here in the Philippines but take note, even if both of you are married, he is still a Syrian citizen not a Filipino. Unless he apply for Fil citizenship.

I believe there's a Syrian Embassy in Dubai. He should go there. It is just near from Riyadh.

Hope this helps

He could apply for a tourist visa first to visit you, if everything works, then have it change to a 13a visa by getting married given that he may have a job or invest in doing business here in the Philippines.

For any Country to deport someone they must have a very good reasons for it, so if your Husband is clean and did nothing wrong to Visa he had in Kuwait, then he should be with you there, but he got deported and now you running back to Philippines, makes no sense to me, but whatever good luck
