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. These services include legal or medical assistance, repatriation, and shipment of remains. 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.

For more information, please contact the MWO-Seoul ATN Hotline 010-2179-5536 and mwokorea.atn@gmail.com; and the Embassy-ATN Section Hotline 010-9263-8119 and atn@philembassy-seoul.com. Thank you.

PAUNAWA SA PUBLIKO UKOL SA PAGLILIPAT NG SERBISYONG ATN SA MWO-SEOUL MULA SA EMBAHADA

Simula 01 Hulyo 2023, alinsunod sa Republic Act No. 11641 na nagtatag sa bagong Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), ang serbisyong Assistance-to-Nationals (ATN) ng Embahada para sa mga Overseas Filipino Workers (documented o hindi) ay hahawakan na ng Migrant Workers' Office (dating POLO) sa ilalim ng DMW. Kasama sa mga serbisyong ito ang legal o medical assistance, repatriation, at shipment of remains. Gayunpaman, lahat ng mga kasong hinahawakan na ng ATN Section ng Embahada bago ang turn-over ay mananatili rito at hindi ililipat sa MWO.

Samantala, ipagpapatuloy pa rin ng ATN Section ng Embahada ang pagbibigay ng mga serbisyong ATN para sa mga hindi manggagawang Pilipino sa ibang bansa katulad ng mga estudyante, turista, at marriage migrants.

Para sa karagdagang impormasyon, maaaring makipag-ugnayan sa MWO-Seoul ATN Hotline 010-2179-5536 at mwokorea.atn@gmail.com; at sa Embassy-ATN Section Hotline 010-9263-8119 at atn@philembassy-seoul.com. Salamat po.
