About the embassy
The Philippines and Kuwait established diplomatic relations on 17 January 1979, according to the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs. The embassy deals mainly with consular work for Filipinos in Kuwait. Labour matters are handled elsewhere: the embassy’s website says it does not process Balik-Manggagawa or Overseas Employment Certificate applications and refers those enquiries to the Migrant Workers Office in Kuwait.

Address and location Philippines in Kuwait
The embassy’s website gives its address as Building 257, Street 213, Block 2, Sabah Al Salem Area, and its Facebook page lists Building Nos. 256 and 257, Road 213 corner 215, Block 2, Sabah Al Salem. Many older directories still show earlier addresses, including Villa 817 in Block 1, Al Siddeeq, South Surra, and an older Jabriya villa, with telephone numbers that no longer match the embassy’s own. If a page gives you a different address or phone number, rely on the embassy’s website.

The embassy’s own page lists +965 6500 2612 as its passport and other consular services hotline, while the DFA page labels it as the assistance-to-nationals line, so use whichever fits your need and confirm if unsure.

Services Philippines in Kuwait
The embassy’s website lists these consular services:
- Passports, including release of ready passports.
- Visas.
- Notarials and authentication of documents.

Visa information
The embassy lists visa services among its consular offerings. Entry requirements for the Philippines depend on nationality and purpose of travel, and they change, so this listing does not state them. Use the embassy’s website and the Philippine government’s official channels, and avoid agents who charge extra to book appointments.
Before you visit
- For passport renewal, book through the VFS Global Passport Renewal Center as the embassy instructs.
- For labour or overseas employment matters, contact the Migrant Workers Office, not the embassy.
- Confirm the address, since older listings are out of date.
