Philippines Special Work Permit | Philippines SWP
The Special Work Permit (SWP) is the ideal solution for foreign professionals engaging in short-term assignments in the Philippines.
Issued by the Bureau of Immigration, the SWP is a temporary permit that authorizes foreign nationals to legally work in the country without applying for a long-term employment visa. It is commonly used for consultants, technical experts, performers, lecturers, and project-based contractors.
The SWP is initially valid for three months, with a one-time extension up to six months total. It is non-renewable and suited for roles where the employment duration is clearly defined and limited.
Whether you are conducting training sessions, performing at an event, or completing a short consultancy project, the Special Work Permit Philippines provides the legal framework to work swiftly and lawfully.
