The Philippine government has launched a new Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) visa that replaced the Special Nonimmigrant Visa.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Valid and preexisting Special Nonimmigrant Visas will retain their validity until their expiration date. After that, individuals can apply for a PEZA visa through the renewal process detailed here. More information regarding the new PEZA visa is available on this website.
BAL Analysis: The new PEZA visa will streamline application processes for foreign nationals and adjudication times by reducing the number of government authorities overseeing immigration application processing.
