About Philippines Embassy Info

Your comprehensive, independent guide to Philippine embassies, consulates, and diplomatic missions serving over 12 million Filipinos living and working abroad.

Our Mission

Philippines Embassy Info was created to serve as a trusted, comprehensive resource for Filipinos abroad and international travelers to the Philippines. With the Philippines having one of the largest diaspora populations in the world -- over 12 million Overseas Filipinos across more than 100 countries -- access to accurate consular information is essential.

We provide detailed, up-to-date information about:

  • Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs): Guidance on OWWA membership, POLO offices, DMW services, contract verification, and welfare assistance available at Philippine embassies and consulates worldwide.
  • Filipino Citizens Abroad: Step-by-step information on passport renewal (ePassport), dual citizenship under RA 9225, PSA document requests, NBI clearance, and PhilHealth/SSS/Pag-IBIG contributions from overseas.
  • International Travelers: Visa requirements for visiting the Philippines, including the 9(a) tourist visa, Special Resident Retiree's Visa (SRRV), and Balikbayan privilege for former Filipino citizens and their families.
  • Business and Academic Users: Document authentication, Red Ribbon/Apostille services, and commercial visa requirements for those doing business with the Philippines.
