Embassy of the Philippines Singapore

Finding the Embassy of the Philippines in Singapore is a bit tricky. It's not easily accessible by bus, but it is around Orchard area.

Article 2 – The Elusive Embassy of the Philippines

(This article is not about the Embassy, if I offend anyone, let me apologize, that’s just my nature. This is a guide on how to find the Embassy of the Philippines in Singapore).


You’re now in Singapore.. found a job or just a tourist.. then suddenly you lost your passport or its time for you to get that OWWA and OEC!

Where the heck is the Embassy?!? And how do you go to the Embassy of the Philippines here in this tiny Singapore!

Going to the Embassy of the Philippines can prove difficult (specially if your navigationally challenged), even some cabbies don’t know how to go there (or maybe that was just me 10 years ago). Situated at 20 Nassim Road, it’s a regular looking building (cough: house), on a road filled with expatriates and other cool looking condos and embassies.

According to gothere.sg it’s right here:

*Note: You can click and use this map and use it interactively


The Embassy is on that T-junction of Nassim Road.

Get on with it! How do I go there?

Ok, you can use that interactive map for driving directions, bus routes etc.

But for me, who has survived on the humble farecard.. oops meant EZ-Link card these are my ways:

1. Cheapest way, but involves a lot of walking and time too.. Not good if you’re in a hurry (or lazy!)

From Orchard MRT, exit to Orchard Road. When you go up the escalator turn left (towards Wheelock Place, Wisma Atria should be on your right, or Ion should be above you). Keep walking in that direction until you see Orchard Parade Hotel (its past the Hilton). This is about 600 meters, 8 minute walk.

When you reach Orchard Parade Hotel, you should be able to sight Nassim Road on the opposite side of the road. Cross over and start walking up Nassim Road. You will see the cool looking condos, the dilapidated Embassy of Saudi Arabia, the futuristic Japan Embassy, and finally, a lone sign that says -----> Embassy of the Philippines. This is a 1km – 10 minute walk.
