THE Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said the Office of Consular Affairs located in Aseana in Parañaque City, and its Consular Office in NCR South (Metro Alabang Town Center) will be closed on Monday, July 6, 2020.
The DFA said the consular offices have been hit by Covid-19, “so it’s disinfection time.”
“We need to keep our clients and our personnel safe. We hope to resume operations soon. Our other consular offices remain open,” said Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. on Twitter.
The DFA statement said the consular office premises would be disinfected and other preventive measures implemented “to manage and prevent risks against Covid-19.”
Applicants who have prior appointments and schedules will be accommodated as soon as these offices resume operations, the DFA added.
Those planning to collect their passports from July 6 onwards are requested to wait for the announcement on the reopening of DFA Aseana and the Consular Office in Alabang.
