PH consulate brings services to Pinoys in KSA

AS part of its year-end outreach efforts, the Philippine Consulate General in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) conducted Consular Mobile Services (CMS) for overseas Filipinos in Jizan on Dec. 19–20, 2025, in coordination with the Migrant Workers Office (MWO) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA). The two-day activity brought essential consular and labor-related services closer to Filipino workers and their families in the southern Saudi province, reducing the need for long-distance travel to Jeddah. Services typically offered during CMS include passport processing, civil registry assistance, notarial services, OWWA membership concerns, and labor-related consultations. Consulate officials expressed appreciation for the strong turnout and the cooperation of the local Filipino community, noting that the smooth conduct of the activity reflected the continued trust and engagement of overseas Filipinos with Philippine government institutions. “We are deeply grateful for the continued support, trust, and warm welcome of the Filipino community in Jizan,” the consulate said in a statement, underscoring the importance of bringing government services directly to overseas workers, particularly those assigned in remote areas. The mobile mission is part of the Department of Foreign Affairs’ ongoing commitment to improve access to consular services and to strengthen protection and welfare mechanisms for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), in close coordination with the Department of Migrant Workers and its attached agencies. The Philippine Consulate General encouraged Filipinos in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to monitor its official communication channels for announcements on upcoming CMS schedules and other consular activities, as similar outreach missions are expected to continue in various regions in 2026.
