The Difference between Philippine 9a Tourist Visa and Business Visa

In the impression of many people, the Philippine 9a tourist visa is the same as the business visa, but the name is different. However, EasyGo Yiyou International would like to say that there is still a difference between the two visas, at least the names of the two visas are different. As for the difference? Please see below.

What is the difference between a Philippine 9a tourist visa and a business visa?

9a tourist visa is issued to enter the Philippines for tourism purposes, and business visa is issued to enter the Philippines for business purposes. This is the difference in the usefulness of the two visas. Both visas can be renewed and transferred, and the total duration of renewal is 2 years, which can be converted into any visa, which is the same in nature of the two visas.

The biggest difference between a Philippine 9a tourist visa and a business visa is that a 9a tourist visa is a single visa, while a business visa is a multiple visa, which means that you can enter the Philippines multiple times. The difference between the two visas is reflected in this point.

Can Philippine business visa and tourist visa be converted to 13A visa?

Yes, as long as the requirements for 13A visa application are met, you can go to the Immigration Bureau to go through the transfer formalities. The application requirement for Philippine 13a visa is to marry a Filipino, that is to say, to marry a Filipino wife, or to marry a Filipino man, both of which can apply for 13A visa. The 13A visa is a permanent residence visa that can live permanently in the Philippines.

Not only can it be converted into 13A visa, but also travel visa and business visa can be converted into any visa. Except that it cannot be converted into landing visa, the rest of the visa only needs to meet the conditions.
