Working in Manila. Visa, etc.

10 years ago

I've been offered a foreign office manager job for an American company in Manila. They have a team of 9 freelance engineers they want to give a proper office to.

Now, this company has worked with these engineers so far only as outsourced help. In other words, the company is not registered in the Philippines, but in New York.

My question is whether I can apply for a business visa (9G) and use a letter from my US employer as my Business/Sponsor Letter. Or do Business Visas only apply to those working for companies registered in the Philippines?

Thank you in advance for your help,
AJ
