Philippine Embassy in Korea’s new address

by Betchay on December 10, 2009









I got an email last week from a reader complaining about the Philippine Embassy’s website (she’s not the first one to complain to me about the embassy). She claimed that they didn’t update the website when they transferred to a new location. I visited the website and when I looked at their map, it was the same. I then sent an email to one of the embassy officers and inquired about their new address. He said that the address was posted a month before they moved. When I visited the site again this week, they had updated the map. 4396508

Here’s how to contact the embassy:

Address
#5-1 Itaewon-dong,
Yongsan-gu, Seoul
REPUBLIC OF KOREA
Postal Code: 140-201
Website: www.philembassy-seoul.com

Contact Numbers
Telephone (82+2) 796-7387
Hotline 010-9365-2312
ATN Direct Line (82+2) 796-2403
Fax Number (82+2) 796-0827
Primary E-Mail seoulpe@philembassy-seoul.com

Here’s a map of the new building from Congnamul:

The red arrow points to the location. It’s near the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Namsan. To get there, take bus nos. 402, 405 or village bus Yongsan 03. It’s not as convenient as the one near Noksapyeong Station. However, there’s a really nice garden near Grand Hyatt called the Namsan Botanical Gardens that we often visit when we couldn’t find parking near the National Theater :)

hi mabel! nung huli kami umuwi ng anak ko, binigyan ako ng immigration sa airport ng balikbayan visa (“bb visa” nakasulat sa stamped entry sa passport)… pinakita ko lang yung canceled Philippine passport ko… yung anak ko rin ay binigyan ng “bb visa”… pwede ka mag-stay ng isang taon sa pilipinas at pwede i-extend… yung school requirements siguro tanong mo na lang sa school kung saan sila mag-aaral…

yung dalawa kong pamangkin na US citizens nag-aaral sa Pilipinas pero sabi ng kuya ko hindi naman sila hinanapan na ng special visa o kung anuman ng school

Sana po ma2lungan nyo ako. salamat po n God bless…

Hi Pamela! Apply ka as a tourist. Prepare mo lang ang employment certificate mo, ITR, bank account at application. Kung E-9 ang visa ng husband, better not tell the embassy about him. Automatic rejection daw (according sa mga nag-inquire sa embassy).
