Visa information

General Eligibility

  • Age: Applicants are usually expected to be at least 18 years old for internship placements.
  • Passport Validity: Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in the Philippines.
  • Student Status: Most internship visas are designed for current students or recent graduates, so you will typically need to be enrolled in a degree programme or have finished within the last 12 months.
  • Financial Requirement: You must be able to show that you have enough funds to cover your stay (exact amounts and evidence are set by the Philippine embassy or consulate handling your case).

Specific Requirements

  • Underage Applicants: Those under 18 may face extra conditions, such as parental consent and additional documentation, depending on embassy rules and local guardianship requirements.
  • Proof of Internship: You will need an official letter or contract from the host company or institution in the Philippines confirming your internship placement and dates.
  • Health and Travel Insurance: You must hold insurance that covers medical care and emergencies for the entire duration of your stay.

Visa Application Process

  • Application Method: Many embassies allow you to begin the visa application online, followed by submitting your passport and documents in person or by post to the designated Philippine embassy or consulate.
  • Processing Time: Processing often takes around 2–4 weeks, so it is best to apply well before your planned travel date.
  • Application Location: You normally apply through the Philippine embassy or consulate in your home country or in the country where you legally reside long-term.
  • Travel Restriction: You should only book non-refundable flights and major travel arrangements after your visa has been issued.

Visa Restrictions

  • Work prohibition: Interns are not allowed to engage in regular paid work outside the activities covered by their approved internship. Any additional work or change of role must comply with Philippine labour and immigration rules.

Visa Costs and Duration

  • Visa Fee: Fees are set by each Philippine embassy or consulate and may change, so applicants must check the official website for current rates.
  • Visa Validity: The visa validity usually matches the approved internship period, as specified in the invitation or endorsement letter from the Philippine host company or institution.
  • Entry Type: Most internship-related visas are single-entry. In some cases, a multiple-entry visa may be requested if you need to leave and re-enter the Philippines during your programme, subject to embassy and immigration approval.

Additional Notes

  • Visa rules and procedures can change, and they may differ by nationality, so you must always verify requirements with the Philippine embassy or consulate responsible for your jurisdiction.
  • You are responsible for complying with Philippine laws and regulations during your stay, and for monitoring any travel advisories issued by your home country.
