Regardless of nationality, source of compensation or duration of stay in the Philippines, all foreign nationals seeking admission to Philippines for employment or study are required to secure a Philippine visa or work permit.

The Philippine visa falls under three broad categories.These are non-immigrant visa, special non-immigrant visa and immigrant visa. For starters, there are ten (10) types of visa commonly availed by the foreigners including 9A Temporary Visitor Visa, 9D Treaty Trader, 9F Student Visa, 9G Pre-arranged Employment Visa; and 13 Quota Immigrant Visa.
