BUSAN 08 January 2019 – The Philippine Embassy in Seoul conducted a two-day consular outreach mission on 14-15 December 2018 in the city of Busan, where approximately 2,060 registered Filipinos reside.
The Embassy’s six-member consular team, led by Consul General Christian L. De Jesus, extended 366 consular services including passport applications, reports of birth, notarization and citizenship applications during the consular outreach.
Representatives from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration and Pag-IBIG Fund accompanied the Embassy team to provide assistance and information on their respective services.
