Can I work in the Philippines?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Work permit route with the local-first test; ports and trucks-for-hire also need proof that no Filipino is available; warehouse and driver jobs go to Filipinos.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Country and regional manager posts at global carriers and couriers are the realistic foreign hires.

|---|---|

| Flights | Yearly home flight in some senior expat packages; none for local hires |
| Pay and overtime | Night work (10 pm to 6 am) pays 10% more, overtime 25% more; not for managers or off-site staff (by law) |
| Contract | Regular after at most 6 months' probation (by law); foreigners' contracts follow the permit, 1 to 3 years |
| Leave | 5 days after 1 year; 10 regular holidays and 8 special days in 2026 (by law) |

Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
