What is a Provisional Work Permit (PWP)?

The Provisional Work Permit (PWP), which was created by regulatory authorities to promote seamless entry into the Philippine employment environment, exemplifies a balance of flexibility, efficiency, and compliance, and is intended to satisfy the changing demands of both companies and potential employees.

A foreigner seeking to work in the Philippines must get both an Alien Employment Permit and a 9(g) Pre-arranged Employment visa. The application procedure takes time, but there is a way for foreigners to continue working while waiting for their visas to be issued.

Who is Eligible to Apply for a Provisional Work Permit (PWP) in the Philippines?

The foreign nationals may apply for a Provisional Work Permit (PWP) if they have the following qualifications:
  • Entered the Philippines for business, pleasure, or health purposes; 
  • Want to commence, or have commenced work in the Philippines; and
  • Have their visa application, either the Alien Employment Permit or 9(g) pre-arranged employment pending approval.
