Which consular area should I submit the materials for applying for a Philippine visa?

No matter who applies for a visa, the materials will eventually be submitted to the embassy. In order to avoid the centralized application of visas by applicants, there will naturally be a division of the consular area, and every applicant will not be allowed to submit the visa materials to the same consular area. In which consular area should the visa materials be submitted when applying for a Philippine visa?

There are five Philippine embassies in China, each of which is responsible for a different area.

Shanghai responsible for: Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Anhui Province, Hubei Province

Guangzhou is responsible for: Hunan Province, Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province, Hainan Province

Chongqing is responsible for: Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan

Xiamen is responsible for: Fujian Province, Jiangxi Province

Beijing is responsible for: other provincial capitals except Shanghai can also accept the materials submitted by applicants from all over the country.

Applicants can submit visa materials to the Philippine embassy according to the above division. However, the embassy does not stipulate that applicants must submit materials in the designated consular area or in other consular areas. As long as the embassy closest to them can accept visas, they do not need to submit temporary residence certificates and other materials.

For example, if the applicant's passport is issued in Guangzhou and the holder has been living in Beijing, he can submit the visa materials directly in Beijing without returning to Guangzhou to apply.

For the Philippines, the working hours of the embassy are the same, and the visa materials that need to be prepared are also the same, so applicants can choose at will.

In short, when applying for a Philippine visa, applicants can freely choose their own consular area to submit materials without worrying too much about which consular area to apply for, but they should be reminded that no matter which consular area to submit materials in, they still need to go to that consular area to collect the visa after signing out, and cannot collect the visa in other consular areas.
