Ilulunsad na ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) ang Passport ePayment facility nito.
Dahil dito, simula bukas, April 14, 2018, lahat ng passport appointments na ipapa-schedule sa Aseana Building ng DFA ay kakailanganin na ng prepayment sa pamamagitan ng ePayment Facility.
“The Department of Foreign Affairs informs the public that it is launching the Passport ePayment facility. The public is informed that for any appointments created for DFA Aseana from Saturday, 14 April 2018 onwards all appointments will require prepayment via the epayment facility. This is in preparation for the official launch of the passport ePayment facility,” ayon sa abiso ng DFA.

Maliban dito, mas magiging madali o convenient din ito para sa publiko.
