Foreign nationals entering the Philippines for employment may secure a pre-arranged employment visa through the following options:
- File a petition through a Philippine-based employer in the Bureau of Immigration for the issuance of pre-arranged employment visa, after which the visa will be issued at the Philippine Foreign Service Post located in the applicant’s country of origin or place of legal residence; or
- Apply for a temporary visitor’s visa abroad and convert it into a pre-arranged employment visa at the Bureau of Immigration upon arrival in the Philippines.
You may check the Philippine Foreign Service Post nearest to your place of residence here.
