CEZA Working Visa (CWV)

A CEZA Working Visa (CWV) is a temporary working and residency visa with a validity of two years for new CWV holders and is renewed every year thereafter. This visa allows the foreign national entry to all Philippine ports of entry. The CEZA visas are company specific, thus, the company and place of work of the visa holder must still exist in order to validate the use of the visa.

Who should obtain a CWV in the Philippines?

Foreign investors seeking to establish an enterprise within the CSEZFP and currently maintaining a capital investment of not less than US$150,000 are eligible to apply for a CEZA visa in the Philippines. Similarly, foreign nationals sponsored or currently employed by a CEZA enterprise are eligible to apply.
