Special Work Permit (SWP) in the Philippines: Short-Term Work Done Right
If you plan to work in the Philippines on a short-term or temporary basis, you need the correct work authorisation. The Special Work Permit (SWP) is issued by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to foreign nationals on a temporary visitor visa who will carry out short-term work or services, generally outside a regular employment arrangement. It is typically granted for about three months and may be extended once, for a total of about six months, subject to current BI rules. At Bizzure Visa, we guide you and your Philippine host company through the application.
