Services of the British Embassy and Consulate in Manila will be limited this week as the embassy’s offices are moving to a new location.
The British Embassy will be closed to the public from Thursday, July 10 to Monday, July 14. The embassy will re-open on Tuesday, July 15.
The embassy’s new address starting from July 12 is 120 Upper McKinley Road, McKinley Town Center, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.
The Consular Section will operate an emergency service only. British Nationals requiring emergency assistance are advised to contact the duty officer thru 0917-530 6431.
The Visa Application Center will remain open but will deal with applications solely by appointment, which qualify under the fast track criteria.
However, because of the move, the normal expected turnaround time of 48 working hours will not be valid during this time and for the period that immediately follows.
Fast track applicants can expect collection of their passports within five to seven working days during this period.
