Section 1: Philippines Embassy London Legalization UK

According to the International Monetary Fund's 2017 estimate, the Philippines’ economy is the 12^th largest in Asia and the 34^th largest in the world by nominal GDP. In recent years, the nation has focused more on manufacturing and services, moving away from agriculture. This had led to rapid industrialization in the Philippines.

At present, restaurants, food carts, purified drinking water supply, laundry shops, poultry farming, web hosting, reselling and handicrafts are some of the most lucrative and profitable business opportunities in the country. The nation has been attracting investments from all over the world, including the UK, with UK-based businesses looking to build trade relations with the Philippines.

If UK nationals wish to work or do business in the Philippines, they will need to get the necessary documents authenticated for use in the Philippines. Such document legalisation is done by the Philippines Embassy in London.
