Alien Employment Permit (AEP)
The Alien Employment Permit (AEP) is developed by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). This permit serves as a beacon of compliance and opportunity in the field of international employment. Additionally, it can be obtained if the employment period exceeds six (6) months. An AEP is usually valid for one (1) year unless the terms of employment require a longer period. An employment visa will not be issued without an AEP.
