Business visitors to the Philippines typically use the Section 9(a) Temporary Visitor’s Visa, unless they are visa-exempt based on their citizenship. The duration of allowable stay depends on the business visitor’s nationality.
A Philippine registered company must sponsor a foreign national’s application for work authorization. The Special Work Permit (SWP) is suitable for assignments of six months or less. Various types of long-term work authorizations are available for assignments that exceed six months. Work permit or work visa applications are generally filed once the applicant has entered the Philippines.
Detailed Immigration Snapshots, Document Lists and Process Guides are available to clients on request.
