Hello sir/madam, My visa 47a2 expired on june 29, 2021, i left the philippines back to my home contry before it expired which on dec 21, 2020 as i resigned from my job. Unfortunated, i was not able to downgrade my visa before leaving the country. Now, i want to go back and work again in the PH. Will i be able to apply for another working visa type? Since i missed the visa 47a2 downgrade, will it cause any issue if i apply for a new work visa 47a2?
