Hi everyone,

I applied for a Philippines tourist e-visa recently.

After submitting the application, they asked me to provide an employment letter and resubmit the application.

The thing is, I work as a freelancer on an online platform, so I’m not technically an employee.

The platform only provides a verification letter stating that I work as an independent contractor and I am not an employee of Upwork and future earnings are not guaranteed.

It also shows my earnings and includes the platform’s signature and official details.

Has anyone here faced a similar situation?
Did they accept a freelancer/independent contractor letter instead of a normal employment letter?

Would appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!
