Philippine Embassy in Japan
The Philippine Embassy in Tokyo serves over 300,000 Filipinos in Japan — one of the fastest-growing Filipino communities globally. With Japan's ageing population creating demand for healthcare and skilled workers, the TITP and SSW programmes bring thousands of new Filipino workers each year. The embassy provides full consular services and POLO Tokyo assists with labour matters.
