Welcome International Students and Language School Agents!

Though the majority of our students are Filipino professionals who speak intermediate to advanced English, our school is truly international. Our international students prefer to study at our school because their classmates are Filipinos who already speak good to great English. As a result, before class, after class, throughout the day, and in different extracurricular activities, our international students are constantly speaking English.

Some of our students even say that their classmates are like teachers!

We have students and clients from all over the world:

Brazil, Canada, Canada, China, Colombia, Croatia, Dubai, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Mongolia, Pakistan, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United States of America, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, and of course...

MORE INFORMATION ON YOUR VISA

A visa is not required for citizens of most countries.

Except for stateless persons and those from countries with which the Philippines has no diplomatic relations, all visitors may enter the country without a visa and may stay for up to 21 days provided they have a valid passport and a ticket for onward journey. Upon arrival at the Manila International Airport you will go through the Immigration area. Once at the Immigration counter you are required to show your passport, an onward ticket and a Declaration form that you will get while in flight. The Immigration official will then stamp your passport for a 21 day visit. This is a Temporary Visitor’s Visa 9 (a) typically referred to as a Tourist Visa.

Visa Extensions

Should you desire to stay longer you may get an extension processed for 38 days the first time, then 59 days at a time afterwards for up to one year. At the one year mark you need to leave the country, even if just for a day. Please check this site for further details on Tourist visas and extensions http://www.gov.ph/faqs/visa.asp.

Leaving the Philippines

If you stay in the Philippines longer than 6 months, as a tourist, you will need permission to leave in the form of an Emigration Clearance Certificate. To obtain the Emigration Clearance Certificate, you have to go to the Bureau of Immigration in person.

When the time comes to leave the Philippines, you must pay P750.00 at the airport before going to your gate area. BE SURE TO HAVE THIS WITH YOU WHEN YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT. If you don't have the money in Pesos you will have to exit the inner section of the airport and get the Pesos and then go back through the security screening. Many people have missed flights because they didn't have the P750.00 The departure fees may change without notice.
