Enrollment in PHILINTER ACADEMY is only possible through an agent. Therefore, please decide the entire process from consultation to registration through consultation with the agent.
You can choose which agent is right for you based on the customer service and reliability the agent provides.
The procedure for registration and admission is as follows.
- FIRST CONSULTATION WITH AGENT
- Counseling suitable for the study period and budget
- Check promotions and quotes
- IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING REGISTRATION FOR IELTS (OPTIONAL)
- If you are considering choosing an IELTS course, you must apply for the online test before registering. We need to ensure that your level of English is sufficient to take IELTS. A minimum level of English equivalent to IELTS 3.0 is required.
- SECOND CONSULTATION WITH AGENT
- Determine the course, accommodation type, and starting date
- If necessary, the agent can connect you to the PHILINTER manager.
- REGISTRATION
- PASSPORT PREPARATION
- If the validity of your current passport is less than 6 months (based on the date of departure to the Philippines), you must apply for a new one.
- Chinese/Taiwanese nationals must apply for a visa before admission.
- TUITION PAYMENT
- Please send tuition remittance to PHILINTER PARTNER AGENT with confidence.
- You must check the refund policy.
- LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE(LOA), ORIENTATION
- The agent will guide you through the PHILINTER regulations in detail. You can also receive information about other matters, such as preparations for studying abroad.
- INTERVIEW WITH BUDDY TEACHER
- As a teacher who manages your overall study abroad life, we interview you before admission. Check your academic goals, preferences, etc.
- AIR TICKET, INSURANCE
- Please purchase a ticket arriving at Cebu Airport on Sunday. If Sunday tickets are difficult, please consult with the agent.
- VACCINATION CERTIFICATE (OPTIONAL)
- DEPARTURE TO THE PHILIPPINES
- STARTS OF CLASS
- Regular classes start on Tuesday morning. However, classes may start on Mondays for 1-2 weeks of short-term study abroad or special cases.
Most nationalities can enter the Philippines without a visa. Visa-free for 30 days.
After arriving in the Philippines, you can apply for a visa extension. For student convenience, the school acts as an agent for immigration affairs.
However, Chinese/Taiwanese nationals must obtain a visa before entering the Philippines. Chinese nationals must apply for a 30-day visa, and Taiwanese nationals can choose between a 30-day or 59-day visa (students studying for more than 8 weeks).
SSP (Special Study Permit) is a kind of student visa, and all students studying in the Philippines must apply for it.
You cannot apply for SSP individually. ESL schools approved by the Philippine Immigration Service must apply directly to the Immigration Service. Of course, PHILINTER is officially approved.
SSP is valid for 6 months. Therefore, if the study period exceeds 24 weeks, you must reapply for SSP.
If you change schools, you must reapply for SSP at the new school.
The cost of studying in the Philippines is largely divided into the following three categories.
- TUITION: Including tuition, accommodation (dormitory), and meals
- LOCAL FEE
- PERSONAL POCKET MONEY
Here, LOCAL FEE consists of payment to the immigration office, textbook fee, electricity bill, accommodation deposit, etc.
- Philippine Immigration fee: VISA, SSP, ACR I-Card fees, etc.
- Textbook fee
- Electricity bill
- Water bill
- Maintenance fee
- Accommodation deposit: returned upon graduation
Your LOCAL FEE varies depending on your study period. Please note that the agent will guide you during the consultation.
Even if you consider long-term enrollment, some people consider extending it depending on their satisfaction with their experience studying abroad.
If you extend it, there is a downside that you will not receive any discounts or promotions. However, there is also the advantage of being able to end an unsatisfactory study abroad life early.
In principle, an extension after arrival at school is possible.
However, in the case of a single room, it is not easy to register in the manner described above because it is usually fully booked before 8 weeks. During registration, we hope that you will receive good advice from your agent.
