What is SCWV in the Philippines?

SCWV = Special Clark Work Visa. This is Clark's Special Work Visa.

In 2007, the Immigration Bureau (BI) announced that foreign tourists arriving at Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) in Diosdado no longer need to go to Manila Central Office for work or investor visas.

Marcelino Libanan, director of the Immigration Bureau, noticed that DMIA has an average of 40,000 passengers arriving every month. He said that the bureau's office began issuing non-immigrant visas last Friday, especially the new Special Clark Work Visa (SCWV) and Special Clark Investor Visa (SCIV), in addition to the usual special work permits and temporary work permits.

In order to achieve this goal, Libanan said that the bureau will soon set up "ID card capture machines, computer hardware, software and other peripheral devices" to improve the database of its DMIA office without charging the state-owned Clark Development Company (CDC). Running Clark Freeport.

He said that he had coordinated with Interpol and the National Intelligence Coordination Bureau (NICA) to prevent foreigners with criminal records from entering DMIA.

Southern Libya said that as more and more foreigners arrive in DMIA, his bureau needs to expand its business here. "At Nino Aquino International Airport alone, we have more than 4 million foreigners every year, so we can see the spillover effect of foreigners coming to Clark through DMIA," he said.

Southern Libya said that his bureau had held 27 retraining courses on the new immigration system for foreigners.

He said that more migrant workers and new employees will receive training at the Immigration College, which was proposed by the Bureau earlier in Clark.

The CDC described SCWV and SCVI as part of the new immigration policy, which will regulate the entry of foreign tourists and workers in Clark Freeport.

According to the memorandum of agreement between BI and CDC and its subsidiary Clark International Airport Company, the special visa was approved.

The agreement stipulates that "all non-immigrant visas, including but not limited to special work permits, temporary work permits, special Clark work visas (SCWV) and special Clark investor visas (SCIV), shall be executed by duly authorized immigrants. Clark Freeport. "

CIAC officials said that DMIA Immigration Bureau maintained a database to process SCWV, SCIV and other types of work visa applications for foreign tourists or workers after submitting complete documentation requirements.

The required documents include the employment permit for foreigners issued by the Ministry of Labor and Employment and the approval from the CDC.

The CDC estimates that there are about 850 foreign workers in Freeport Clark, most of whom are Americans, Japanese and Koreans.

Jose Victor Luciano, president of CIAC, said: "According to Clark's new setup, applicants no longer need to run all the way to BI's headquarters in Manila."

At least 40,000 foreign and local passengers arrive in DMIA every month.

Last year, more than 480,000 passengers entered through Clark. As overseas Filipino workers and American Filipinos from Manila, the northern province of the Philippines, are expected to arrive through DMIA, this number is expected to increase this year.

Alexander Caugiran, executive vice president of CIAC, said that the new immigration policy is "crucial to the development of DMIA".

"After the terminal expansion is completed from June 5th to1October 5th, 2008, the passenger flow of DMIA will increase to 2 million passengers per year," he said.

Caugiran said that the DMIA terminal is expected to accommodate 5 million passengers every year.

He said: "I can assure people in central Luzon that DMIA will become the most important airport in the country in their lifetime." .
