The following is required for a work visa in the Philippines:
The processing time to get a work visa in the Philippines can vary depending on the type of visa. The breakdown is below:
In order to get a work visa when based outside of the Philippines, and seeking to be hired in the Philippines, you must follow these steps:
For getting a work visa when the employee is based inside of the Philippines all the steps above are the same, however, the employee must be inside the country legally already. There are very rare cases in which a foreigner holds a permanent residency card or there are others who have entered the country on a tourist visa that may want to then upgrade to a AEP work permit.
Unlike many other countries, future employees can enter the Philippines on a tourist visa and upgrade it to a working permit while never needing to leave the country and go back to their home country. Oftentimes the candidate can visit the Immigration Bureau in the Philippines and seek a Provisional Work Permit (PWP) while the approval of their employment visa application is in progress.
Your business can easily hire employees in the Philippines without opening a local entity. We handle local employment law, complex tax regulations, and international payroll in 180+ countries worldwide. All you need to do is focus on your business.
If the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) grants a foreign national an Alien Employment Permit (AEP), they can apply for dependent visas for immediate family members including a spouse and children under 21. Family members will have to submit separate dependent applications for DOLE approval. Note that dependents aren’t allowed to work in the Philippines themselves without their own permits.
Typically getting a work visa in the Philippines with take between 2-3 weeks. However, it is possible to be granted a Provisional Work Permit (PWP) quicker in which the employee can use it to work while the approval of their employment visa application is in progress.
