9(g) Work Visa Cost Calculator
Bureau of Immigration
Total the 9(g) visa and ACR I-Card for a worker and family. Fees vary by term, employer size and dependant age, and the card is priced in dollars.
This calculator does not carry current agency interest or dividend rates. You enter the rate, so a result is only as current as the figure you typed.
It is an estimate for planning, not an official quotation, and Bureau of Immigration's own computation is what governs. Confirm the figures before you commit to anything.
Every figure on this page is from Bureau of Immigration's own published documents.

What this calculator does
BI bills the visa in pesos and the ACR I-Card in dollars on one Order of Payment Slip, which is why the two are constantly confused. This separates them, then totals a whole family.
Other corporation employer:
| Term | Principal | Spouse | Under 16 | Under 14 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | ₱10,130.00 | ₱8,120.00 | ₱7,870.00 | ₱7,370.00 |
| 2 years | ₱17,170.00 | ₱13,960.00 | ₱13,710.00 | ₱13,210.00 |
| 3 years | ₱24,210.00 | ₱19,800.00 | ₱19,550.00 | ₱19,050.00 |
Top 1000 Corporation employer:
| Term | Principal | Spouse | Under 16 | Under 14 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | ₱10,630.00 | ₱8,620.00 | ₱8,370.00 | ₱7,870.00 |
| 2 years | ₱18,170.00 | ₱14,960.00 | ₱14,710.00 | ₱14,210.00 |
| 3 years | ₱25,710.00 | ₱21,300.00 | ₱21,050.00 | ₱20,550.00 |
The employer’s size changes what the employee pays, by ₱500.00 on a 1-year visa and ₱1,500.00 on a 3-year one, for an identical visa.
The card is in dollars
US $50.00 for 1 year, US $100.00 for 2 and US $150.00 for 3, converted at the Bangko Sentral rate on the day of assessment. That is why the calculator asks for a rate: BI fixes the dollars and nobody fixes the peso, so any peso figure quoted for this card is a snapshot of somebody’s assessment day.
Longer terms cost less per year
| Term | Principal, other corporation | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | ₱10,130.00 | ₱10,130.00 |
| 2 years | ₱17,170.00 | ₱8,585.00 |
| 3 years | ₱24,210.00 | ₱8,070.00 |
Three consecutive 1-year visas are ₱30,390.00 against ₱24,210.00 once, so ₱6,180.00 saved before counting two avoided rounds of paperwork.
What the calculator cannot tell you
You must be inside the country when you file, with at least 20 days of authorized stay left at assessment. The published total is 54 days, 6 hours and 22 minutes, of which the Board of Commissioners deliberation alone is 39 days.
A 9(g) is immigration permission, not permission to work: that is a separate Alien Employment Permit from DOLE. Full conditions in our 9(g) guide, and the card’s own rules in the ACR I-Card guide.
