The Quota Visa, issued under Section 13 of the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940, is one of the most prestigious and sought-after immigrant visas in the Philippines. Unlike non-immigrant options, this provides immediate and unconditional Permanent Residency to foreign nationals whose countries have diplomatic relations with the Philippines.
Administered by the Bureau of Immigration (BI), the Quota Visa allows holders to live, work, and study in the Philippines permanently with minimal restriction.
With only 50 slots available per year, timing is the most critical factor in a successful Quota Visa application. Metropolis Global provides expert navigation throughout the process to ensure your application is prioritized.
