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; firms in economic zones get their visa through the zone authority (PEZA); junior analyst roles are hard to justify.
Before you apply: Usually no licence. Some employers ask for vendor certificates (AWS, Microsoft, Cisco); signing audit reports needs a registered auditor.
Watch for: Since August 2026 PEZA processes zone visas while the work permit is pending; a Provisional Work Permit (PHP 4,040) lets you start while the 9(g) visa is pending.

What the job usually comes with in the Philippines
Usual for IT and Consultancy jobs in the Philippines, varies by employer. Checked November 2026.
| Housing | Senior expat packages often add a housing allowance; local-hire contracts do not |
|---|---|
| Relocation | Employer files the permit and visa; fees are agreed in the contract; moving help for senior hires only |
| Flights | Yearly home flight in some senior expat packages; none for local hires |
| 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) |
| Income tax | 0% to PHP 250,000 a year (about USD 4,000), then 15% to 35%; 13th month tax-free to PHP 90,000 |
| Health cover | PhilHealth is deducted from pay and matched by the employer (by law); a company health plan is the office norm |
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.
