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.
