Thus, to summarize, we state that the CEZA and the APECO still hold their respective authorities to process both pre-arranged employment and permanent resident visas with respect to foreign nationals operating online gaming enterprises within their respective territorial jurisdictions, subject to reporting with the BI as required by their respective Charters. In cases not falling within the purview of the respective ecozones, the pre-arranged employment and permanent resident visas should be processed by the BI, needless to say, unless otherwise covered by other ecozone laws.
