Because the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) was created to protect the interests and welfare of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), it only makes sense that their services and program offerings are made available closer to where the OFWs actually are—abroad.

Having said that, we rounded up this list of all OWWA Offices overseas, along with the complete contact information of each one, especially for this purpose. Take note that these offices are located in DMW POLO office locations and they are usually near the Philippine Embassy or Philippine Consulate General office.
Directory of OWWA Offices Abroad
To date, OWWA has set up a total of 35 offices, scattered in 27 different countries worldwide. Each one is well-equipped to address concerns that OFWs and their families and eligible dependents may have regarding their programs and services. Such offers include all the training, entrepreneurial, educational, livelihood and financial assistance, and loan, repatriation, and reintegration programs.
