Actual jobs are required
The Bureau of Immigration describes a minimum of ten Filipino employees in a lawful, sustainable enterprise. A future hiring intention is not the same as meeting the requirement.
Special Visa for Employment GenerationResidence linked to employment generation
The SVEG is a route for qualifying employment-generating enterprises. It belongs in a real business plan with a sustainable workforce and continuing compliance.
Who should consider it
For entrepreneurs whose lawful enterprise actually meets the program’s employment and operating requirements.
Compliance continues after approval
The enterprise and workforce must continue to meet the applicable rules. Build monitoring and professional support into the operating plan.
Business and immigration review belong together
Review ownership, business activities, employment arrangements and the applicant’s role before treating SVEG as an available residence route.
Prepare for an assessment
- Business activities, ownership and registration information
- Current workforce and employment records
- The applicant’s operating role and household plans
Begin with a short summary. Do not send passports, account statements, medical records or source-of-funds documents through the inquiry form.
A sensible sequence
- Have the operating enterprise assessed against current SVEG requirements.
- Verify the workforce evidence and ongoing obligations.
- Coordinate the appropriate professional and immigration work.
- Maintain a practical compliance and household relocation plan.
Scope and sources
