I have applied for a work visa in the Philippines but I no longer want to work. Do I need to lower my visa if I want to return to my country?

The validity period of a Philippine work visa is generally 2 years. After it expires, you need to stay in the Philippines legally or apply for another type of visa when going to the Philippines from home.

Whether to reduce your visa needs to take into account your personal circumstances

1. I no longer work in the Philippines and plan to return to my country for development. If I don’t need to apply for a visa reduction for such a long time, the work permit will automatically expire after the validity period.

2. If you plan to find a job in another company in the Philippines, you need to downgrade your visa, because only by downgrading your visa to a new company can you apply for a work visa for the new company.
