RCBC Plaza has recently included the Embassy of Ireland among its roster of clients, making it the eighth diplomatic mission housed in the iconic business complex. This is the first permanent chancery that Ireland has established in the Philippines, and it is expected to be instrumental in strengthening the nations’ political and economic ties.

The opening of the chancery is in conjunction with the Global Ireland initiative to expand its international presence, having identified the Philippines as a strategic location due to the increasing size of Filipino diaspora in Ireland and the growing potential for trade and linkages.

The embassy will offer passport and consular services. However, visa applications will continue to be submitted through its external visa application center.

Located on the 18th floor of RCBC Plaza Tower 2, this new office provides convenient access for Irish citizens in the Philippines, existing and potential trade partners, and those who wish to conduct business with the embassy.

Aside from its strategic address at the heart of the Makati business district, the competitive cost and RCBC Plaza management’s familiarity and expertise with the needs of the premium corporate occupier and the diplomatic community — particularly in the areas of security, safety, environmental impact and functionality — are the critical considerations for the Embassy of Ireland’s decision to move to RCBC Plaza.

As a former recipient of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ Green Energy Award, RCBC Plaza is proud of its credentials as the forerunner in Green Building Environmental Initiatives within the Philippines.
