- 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.

Specific Requirements

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.
