Navigating the Philippine Visa and Immigration is complicated enough for local Philippine HR, much more to foreign nationals who are relocating to the Philippines for the first time.

To ensure that our foreign employees feel more prepared, confident, informed and ready to take in their new role, a Pre-arrival Orientation is a great practice for host organizations.

Mismanaged expectations and disorganized timelines can cause unnecessary stress, costs, and wasted productivity to both Foreign employees and host company.

With AEM, we provide a streamlined approach by providing a step by step walk through with the foreign employee and local HR to align with all the necessary Immigration documents, procedures, and deadlines to efficiently and timely comply with the relevant authorities.

Whether or not an Organization’s foreign employee is subject to Philippine tax liabilities has always been one of the first important questions prior to any move.

Tax Liabilities are dependent on the following:

The Length and nature of the Employee’s visit in the Philippines (host country), the type of visa the employee holds, and whether or not the company or employee derives revenue from the engagement.

It is also worth noting that Companies that hold an established entity in the Philippines may also be taxed.

16/05/2023

To ensure a seamless process for formalities, it is imperative that Foreign Nationals possessing a valid and temporarily leaving the country obtain a in accordance with memorandum circular order No. 2021-013.

Overstaying British national arrested in Palawan –BI

CORON, Palawan—An overstaying British man was arrested by Bureau of Immigration operatives on Thursday in Coron.

BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco identified the fugitive as Paul Stuart Leggot, 61, who was arrested in a bar along Governor’s Drive in Dongapan, Coron, Palawan by operatives of the BI intelligence division and fugitive search unit.

Apart from overstaying, Leggot was allegedly found to have been engaging in gainful employment without the necessary work permit.



Records show that he has been in the country since 2014, without securing appropriate visas for his business. He was said to own a popular resort in Coron, despite not being properly documented.



Tansingco lauded the investigating team and warned erring foreigners not to abuse the hospitality of the country.



“Foreign nationals may only work or have business in the country if they secure the appropriate visas and other permits,” said Tansingco. “Aliens who refuse to comply with our laws take away opportunities from Filipinos, and do not submit appropriate taxes to the government,” he added.



The BI said that Leggot will immediately be flown to Manila for booking and inquest, before being transferred to the BI’s facility in Bicutan. #

Happy Friday! It's been a busy week, but we're grateful for the opportunity to assist and work with so many amazing clients.

Before this week ends, we're going to answer another FAQ from our expats, a follow up question from yesterday's post.

Ask AEM:

Can I switch employers while working in the Philippines on a work visa?

AEM:

Yes, you can. Provided that proper visa cancellation and permit processes are observed.

A foreign national must return to holding a 9(a) Visa in order to convert to another working visa for a different petitioner.
A new working visa suitable and most appropriate for your new role must be applied through your employer.
