IMPORTANT NOTE:
As a health and safety precaution, the Embassy is observing limited public hours of operation, thereby resulting in reduced appointment capacity and logistical challenges. Therefore, until normal operations resume, the Embassy’s appointment system is extended ONLY FOR CLIENTS RESIDING IN THE FEDERAL STATES UNDER THE EMBASSY’S JURISDICTION: BERLIN, BRANDENBURG, HAMBURG, BREMEN, SAXONY, LOWER SAXONY, SAXONY-ANHALT, SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, AND MECKLENBURG-VORPOMMEN.
Those residing in the Federal States of Hesse, North Rhine Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland Palatinate, Saarland, Thuringia and Bavaria are advised to directly inquire with the Philippine Consulate General In Frankfurt Am Main (www.frankfurtpcg.de). Those residing outside Germany are advised to contact the Philippine Embassy which has jurisdiction over their country of residence.
