Philippine Embassy Singapore extended Friday hours run until 8.30pm on every last Friday of 2026.
The next late Fridays are 30 October and 27 November 2026. Regular hours run 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, so the late slot helps kababayans who finish work at six.
The Embassy also put out a free 2026 OFW Handbook in March. Both aim to cut the number of Sundays you lose to paperwork.
What changed
The Embassy ran its first extended Friday on 27 February 2026 and served nearly 700 clients that night.
Both the Consular Section and the Migrant Workers Office (MWO) stay open until 8.30pm at 20 Nassim Road, Singapore 258395.
The Embassy has not posted a December date yet. The last Friday of December falls on 25 December, so check its Facebook page before you plan around it.

Book labor and OWWA services at go.mwosingapore.online.
Bring your current passport and the printed online application for a renewal. Check the Embassy's schedule of services for your transaction's full list.
Save the confirmation on your phone.
A new passport takes weeks to arrive from Manila. If yours expires within a year and you plan a December flight home, book now. See our passport renewal guide.
Domestic workers with Sunday-only rest days still need employer release for a Friday visit. Ask in writing, and the Embassy can issue an appointment letter for your employer.
The 2026 OFW Handbook
The Embassy launched the first edition of its 2026 OFW Handbook in March, at its first-quarter Ugnayan with community leaders. It is a free digital guide for newly arrived Filipinos.
It covers daily life in Singapore and the services of the Embassy, MWO-Singapore, OWWA-Singapore, Pag-IBIG and SSS, plus reintegration programmes for long-time residents.
Save the PDF to your phone and share it with the kababayan who arrived last week. The Embassy posts schedule changes and outreach dates on facebook.com/PHinSingapore.
