DFA Satellite Offices in Metro Manila
Travelling to and from the Philippines require documents that can only be requested from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) of the Republic of the Philippines. Whether it is for personal or business purposes, there are travel documents and other requirements that are needed to be processed before one can enter or leave the country.
