Work visa
(9G)
If you wish to work in the Philippines in a paid position, you will need to obtain a work visa.
Employers must go through the process of obtaining work visas for newly hired foreign employees.
First, we will publish a document describing the new employee's job responsibilities in the newspaper.
After the announcement in the newspaper, 15 days later, we will submit an application for permission to employ foreign workers to the Ministry of Labor. Approval can be obtained in about 7 to 10 days.
Finally, you will apply for a work visa at the Immigration Bureau. You can obtain the visa in about 30 to 45 days. Work visas can be applied for a period of 1 to a maximum of 3 years, provided that the requirements are met. If the visa expires, you will need to apply again.
