Work Visa & AEP Processing in the Philippines โ€” Done Right the First Time

Avoid costly delays, rejections, and compliance penalties.
CBOS helps foreign nationals and Philippine companies process AEP, 9G Visas, and immigration compliance requirements accurately, efficiently, and stress-free.

Why Visa Applications Get Delayed or Deniedโ€‹

Incomplete Documentary Requirements

Incorrect Job Classifications

Non-compliance with DOLE regulations

Inconsistent corporate documents

Poor coordination between agencies

Late renewals
