Why do I need a tourist visa to work in the Philippines? How to apply for a work visa in the Philippines?

Let me talk about the specific situation.

Generally speaking, we have to apply for a work permit to work abroad. Work visas are basically handled by the Immigration Bureau. The embassy in the Philippines does not have the function of applying for a work visa, that is, the Philippine government has no right to apply for a work visa for the embassy, but can only go to the Philippines with a tourist visa and then apply for a work visa at the Immigration Bureau.

There are some work visas in Europe and America, which can be examined and issued by embassies, but after arriving in the destination country, you still need to go to the immigration office to apply for a labor card. The 9G work visa in the Philippines is also a card.

For many underdeveloped countries, if they have money, they can apply for a work visa without illegal work. So most of them take tourist visas to their destinations and then apply for work visas. In developed countries, money can't get a work permit, but many people are willing to stay in the local area and work illegally, so it is difficult to get a work permit. So it was impossible to get a work visa through a tourist visa before.

So people who come to work in the Philippines come on tourist visas. Then apply for a work visa

Generally speaking, work visas here include long-term work visas and temporary work visas.

First, our common 9G work visa is a long-term work visa. This visa is equivalent to an ID card. You can buy a house, stay in a hotel and get a bank card locally. No problem. The validity period is one year, two years and three years. The price is generally 1-20000 RMB. Moreover, the government has also issued a special work permit to spinach practitioners, but almost no one has used it because they don't want to return to China with this work permit. If the 9g work permit is universal, I don't know what I am doing in China.

Two, temporary workers sign is valid for three months. Because it is signed by a temporary worker, your tourist visa cannot expire. Generally speaking, the validity of tourist visas is 14 days, 7 days, 30 days and so on. After applying for a temporary work visa, the company will also apply for a tourist visa when the tourist visa is about to expire, especially if it is valid for 7 days. When you come to the company, the company will immediately renew your tourist visa and temporary work visa. So if you leave your job, some people will pay more, because the renewal of tourist visas and temporary work visas will cost four or five thousand yuan. This does not include the cost of air tickets, visas and customs clearance.

So in general, people who want to work know that if they don't want to suffer hardships and don't plan to work for a long time during the contract period, it is recommended not to come here. If you do it for a long time. This way is a good choice.
