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: The employer files a work permit (Alien Employment Permit) after a local-first job notice, then a 9(g) visa; hotels get permits for specialists, not line staff.
Watch for: From 11 November 2026: job notice online, decision in 10 working days. Filing is online only, at the labour department's central office, since 2026.
Official source: Bureau of Immigration: Pre-arranged Employment Visa (9G). Checked November 2026.
What the job usually comes with in the Philippines
Usual for the Philippines, varies by employer. Checked November 2026.
| Housing | Not in city hotels; island resorts (Boracay, Siargao) may give shared staff quarters |
|---|---|
| Meals | Duty meals in the staff canteen |
| Flights | Senior packages only |
| Service charge | All of it shared equally among staff except managers (by law); the amount varies by hotel |

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.
