NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
As a result of damage to the Asia-Pacific Cable Network in the South China Sea and the subsequent loss of IT/Internet Systems, the British Embassy regrets to announce that there are likely to be delays in processing applications for UK visa and British passports.
As soon as we have precise information, this will be posted on our website www.ukinthephilippines.fco.gov.uk and will appear in the local press.
