About the Consular Section

Welcome to the Consular Section!

The Consular Section of the United States Embassy in Manila is one of the largest and busiest consular operations in the world. It provides Immigrant and Non-immigrant Visa Services and American Citizen Services. It is located along Roxas Boulevard next to the Museo Pambata and across the street from the Bayview Hotel.

The Immigrant Visa (IV) Branch is the second largest IV processing post next to the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. It processes over 50,000 IV applications and more than 11,000 fiancé(e) and spouse non-immigrant visa applications each year, reuniting families as intended by U.S. immigration law.

Applications are made by an appointment. There is a U.S. $400 Immigrant Visa application fee and U.S. $131 Non-immigrant Visa application fee.

The American Citizen Services (ACS) Branch serves the American community in the Philippines. Approximately 132,000 U.S. citizens reside in the country. Several hundred thousand Americans visit the Philippines each year for business and pleasure. The ACS Branch issues passports and reports of birth and death for Americans in the Philippines, as well as providing notarial services. ACS also assists U.S. citizens in distress, such as those arrested or destitute. It maintains a list of doctors, dentists and attorneys for reference.
