Beginning July 1, 2023, and pursuant to Republic Act No. 11641 creating the new Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), the Embassy's Assistance-to-Nationals (ATN) service for Overseas Filipino Workers (documented or undocumented) will be turned-over to the Migrant Workers' Office (formerly POLO) under the DMW.

However, all cases already being handled by the Embassy's ATN Section prior to the turn-over will remain and not be transferred to the MWO.

In addition, ATN services for non-Filipino workers such as students, tourists, and marriage migrants will continue to be handled by the ATN Section of the Embassy.
