Ready-to-sign documents

Employment contract for a foreign national (AEP, 9(g))

Fill in the employer, the employee and the job. The contract updates as you type; it takes effect only once the AEP and the visa are issued. Download the PDF and have it signed and notarized: the AEP application must be filed within 15 days of signing.

The document is drafted in English, the language commonly used for legal documents in the Philippines. Everyone who signs must understand it: have it explained in his or her language before signing.
