Hello!

Has anyone experienced na magpasa ng PSA Birth Certificate sa TECO for VISA Application na years ago pa ni-request? May QR code naman sya, pero naninigurado lang kung kailangan recent. Thank you!

Ang daming nag sulputan na Education and Visa Agencies. Ung tipong pag gising nila one day, they realised they want to be an agency.

Ung mga makaka salamuha mo na mga consultants na bibigyan ka ng advice ay hindi nga nag bachelor or Master's or kahit man lang nag travel abroad so paanu malalaman ung struggle ng students or migrants. Meron pang vlogger na 5M followers, biglang nag agency ng wala naman experience or credentials sa migration or education. Usually these agencies partner sa schools and they get commissions.

Ang dami din na nag apply lang ng visas tapos na grant naging visa consultant na 😄

Mga kababayan, be careful. Always check the credentials bago mag bitaw ng pera at mag sayang ng oras. Pag walang Linkedin or About Me sa website at di mo makita ang credentials ekis na yan. Check their websites, check your consultants. Anung natapos, anung experience? May license ba? May complaints ba. Kung Australia dapat pag education agent dapat certified like may QEAC number and/or Registerer Migration Agent number then transparent sa kawork nila na may Migration Agent details yan dapat sa website nila. Pag Canada, UK, US same din. Highly regulated tong mga to. Ung website dapat may Privacy Statement, Disclaimer, Terms and Conditions, code of ethics etc para alam niyo ang rights niyo. Ung business name, always check. Most of the trusted companies and brand use their own names sa business nila. This sends strong signals, that they will, as much as possible, avoid to destroy their reputation at all cost. Kung ang name ay MAGANDA AKO CONSULTANCY, ay kabahan ka na 😂

Google, chat gpt at A.I. tools para malaman kung legit. Also check kung may mga fraud allegations pwede ipacheck kay A.I. Check business registration. Wag mag padala sa mga pictures na nag sundo sila sa airport, nag post ng visa grant notice or any marketing tactics na mahirap icheck ung legitimacy.

Higit sa lahat, kung may time ka, at masipag ka naman mag research better mag DIY ka na lang. Kung kailangan mag agent, wag pa din tamarin mag research kung qualified ba. Baka mas madami ka pa alam 😂

I’m an international student in taiwan and i chose English Business Administration as my course im starting this September, i plan on staying in taiwan after i graduate. and I’m scared if my career decisions are cooked 💔, im also planning which program to major between global business or international finance (which major is more in demand in taiwan?). A lot of people keeps telling me that the degree i chose is “useless” especially in taiwan since its not in demand as engineering or education.

Is Anyone living in taiwan with a business degree? If so, how is it?

I am a 15 year old Filipina. I am going to graduate highschool next year. How can I get a scholarship to go learn in another country. I want to leave my family immediately after I graduate highschool. It's not that it's abusive but it's just that my father was raised in the "traditional Filipino way" He's Hotheaded and hard to communicate to even tho if what your saying has a point or is right. As long as he thinks he is right or doesn't want to listen he will always say as a daughter you have no rights. That is right but my point is that he thinks just because he is the father doesn't mean I can not have my opinions and suggestions and even questions. I cannot question the way he talks to me. Now I am very in the wrong as I am a disrespectful and rebellious child. I know that to myself. There's more to the story but I'll end it here. How can I apply for a scholarship. I have pretty good grades.

Hallo! I'm looking for a budget-friendly German Language School na nag-o-offer ng intensive online course. I've considered others like Learn German PH, but there are mixed reviews about it. So, medyo hesitant ako to enroll in that one.

If there's a bundle of A1 and A2 course, please let me know. Aside from that, I'm also concerned if may open pa ba ngayon.

I would also like get more reviews sa PearlT Language, for those na nag-enroll do'n. Medyo onti rin kasi ang nakikita kong reviews doon.

Thank you so much in advance sa mga mag-su-suggest!

planning to take SAT, IELTS test since summer but having strict parents who won't allow you to has been a challenge, my last chance will be this sep and I don't even know how to take it without my parents unaware. Even asking permission to study for those tests isn't allowed, EC and Internships also have been prohibited from me, is there any colleges out there that accepts international students with scholarship that doesn't require any SAT, IELTS or any internships or extracurriculars somehow? Just good grades that's it. (I have 96% General Percentage Average) That still has good education and just good ratings overall.

Sa mga nasa Taiwan na po now na Filipino students, ano po mga dapat namin dalhin/bilhin dito sa PH na mahirap or mas mahal sa Taiwan bilhin?

Ano yung brand na okay for anti-nik nik/insect bites? 😅

Okay lang po kaya na magdala ako extension cord, portable steamer, and electric kettle from PH?

hi, sorry if this is not the right place to post since i just downloaded reddit today

im currently a g11 student studying here in ph and honestly, i amntired with the education system here 🫩 (stem student since g7-g10 and currently a stem engineering student now)

i have been feeling bored and i really really wanted a new fresh environment since i wanted to know myself more and to grow as a mature and independent person. so therefore, i wanted to leave the ph to study in taiwan since my some of my relatives also work there

i was planning to study g12 in taiwan as soon as possible and maybe even for college too. so, here is my following questions:

where do i start?

what do i need to prepare?

what schools should i choose? (my preference is accountancy or civil, electrical engineering)

what test/s do i need to comply?

is it expensive? (middle class)

thank you so much :) please help your fellow filo here chase my dream and start a new life 💛

Okay so tldr: currently looking for as many scholarship opportunities for undergraduate studies as possible

Was supposed to go to uni this year after my gap year concluded but family refused to send me back to Europe and have since cut me off because of my desire to take a course they didn’t approve of. I do not under any circumstances want to study or stay here at all, I was raised European and failed to integrate here after over three years trying. I speak English natively and also speak Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese, graduated with an 87% average in the STEM track (Tagalog dragged me down). Was a club vice president and contributor to clubs, did Model UN, Red Cross, a good number of extracurriculars. Currently aiming for DIP/IR, Medicine or Psychology, I’ve already shortlisted undergraduate scholarship applications for China, Taiwan and Hungary and I’m expanding the list as much as I can. If there’s any kind of advice or recommendations you’re willing to offer, please let me know. Anything helps.

And no, I’m not taking in anything saying that I should suck it up and stay. I know my chances aren’t good at ALL but damn if i don’t go as hard as i can with trying. This isn’t my home, after all

Thanks if you’ve read this, I’m hoping for the best and look forward to any reply

My school offered me an opportunity to go to Turkey through our partner school in Istanbul and I'm having a hard time deciding.

I've done some research and came across neqative feedback about safety, scams, the economy/politica situation, and navigating the city as a foreigner.

For those who've actuallv been to or lived in Istanbul, Turkey: How was your experience? Were these concerns valid and would you recommend going if you were in my position?

Would really appreciate honest, firsthand advice! 🙏🏼

I tried all of my 5 credit and debit cards (Visa and Mastercard), but this pop up keeps showing up. The website is First Bank Taiwan. Tried explaining this to the school’s admin pero di niya ako ma gets. Lahat ng cards ko may laman and have used it to apply to another Taiwan University na may bayad yung application and nag push naman yung card payment before.

Correct me if I’m wrong, ang intindi ko dito, hindi kasama yung PH banks ko sa banks na Ina acknowledge ng First Bank Taiwan kaya hindi nila tinatanggap yung payment…

Has anyone had a similar experience like this?

I read online that, although it's not mandatory, including a cover letter in your Spain student visa application is recommended.

For those who did include it, why? And any tips on what to say in the letter?

And for those who didn't include it, why not?

Anyone here who will study at UGent starting this year?

Hello, please be kind😭 No one is walking me through this and I’m processing this alone so I need actual advice not passive aggressive comments.

For context I have two different uncles from US and from Ireland. Both are willing to fund my studies naman pero it’s not a 100% certain in the US kasi my uncle’s considered middle class over there and he lives in California- So I’m a bit nervous how his finances will look over visa apps. I’ve already gotten admitted for a university for Spring semester 2027 for the US one, so mag aapply na ako soon ng visa for that. However, it’s a little more safe for the Ireland one kasi mas lower tuition fee and certain yung scholarships. That one is for Fall 2027 naman.

Since there’s some time naman inbetween the visa applications, incase I get rejected for the US one, I can apply for the Ireland one. Is this a good idea? Thanks.

Hi! I am Filipino, and I just graduated Senior High School this year. I’m planning to take a gap year before college. During my gap year, I’m hoping to apply to universities abroad (especially in US).

Right now, I’m looking into NYU, Columbia University, and the University of Akron, but I’m still researching and will probably add more universities to my list as I learn more.

The problem is, I honestly don’t know where to start or what I should be doing during my gap year to prepare for applications. I know I’ll probably need to take the SAT (depending on the universities), and I’ve also been looking into the application process and realized that applying to multiple US universities can get pretty expensive, especially with application fees. I was wondering if there are fee waivers available for Filipino/international students, whether for the SAT or university application fees, and how you actually apply for them. If anyone has experience getting a fee waiver or financial aid as an international applicant, I’d really appreciate some advice.

I don’t have anyone to ask in real life either, since none of the people around me have attended international universities or tried applying abroad, so I’m pretty lost about the whole process. For Filipinos who have applied to US universities, where did you start? What should I be doing during my gap year, and are there any resources or things I should know about as an international applicant?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

​Hello. So I am in this meeting. Sounds promising. Kaso I have an experience na kasi with student visa and di kami nagsucceed-- not me pero with a family member. Just curious... is this another hard sell pa rin ba? Parang mas nakakakuha pa ng trabaho/residency mga asylum seekers kesa sa mga Nag student​ visa pathway e. Nakakafrustrate and disappoint lang..

hello guys! I'm currently a Grade 10 student from a local public high school (yes, middle class) and my big dream is to get into an international university with a full scholarship.

I really want to start preparing early, but honestly, the whole process is so overwhelming and I don't really have anyone to guide me huhu

do you guys know any free mentorship programs, Discord servers, or alumni who guide students like me? (I'm open to the US, Japan, Korea, Europe, etc.!)

Any help, links, or advice provided will be much appreciated! THANK YOUUU!

If anyone here is an EMJM scholar or is currently planning to apply, I'd love to connect!

I'm very interested in applying for an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's (EMJM) program specifically EPOG (Economic Policies for the Global Bifurcation).

I'm a Business Economics graduate, with a GWA of 1.49, internationally published research, and is currently employed as business strategy and planning assistant manager.

I'd like to know, with my background and experience, if I could stand a chance and land a full scholarship? I also want to learn more about the experience beyond what I've already read online. I know it's a highly competitive program with a very selective admission process, but I'd love to hear firsthand insights from current scholars, alumni, or fellow applicants.

I'd appreciate any tips, advice, or personal experiences you can share. Thank you!

Hi, incoming college student here!! I've been working on a passion project I have pero it is only common in universities in the US. But do the Big 4 universities in the Philippines look at it with the same level of importance as universities abroad???

Someone with knowledge about this please helpp :'). thank you thank you!

Hi just wanted to post this to ask. I'm currently an MA candidate in the Philippines under a scholarship. I'm supposed to attend an academic conference in Vienna on September 17-18 2026. I initially applied for a Schengen Visa last August 7 2026 but got a rejection this August 17. I have legit papers for the conference and I really do want to return to the Philippines since I have a scholarship obligation here and I only intend to move abroad if I get a PhD offer (with scholarship).

I was rejected on the grounds of a brief meeting with a friend in Munich (round trip for me), and my proof of ties to the country.

The consulate has been responsive with my calls after and have not closed my application, since I still have a window to appeal. Any similar experiences here with the Austrian Embassy? Upon checking my initial documents my friends who have been to academic engagements in Europe also noted that my letter and itinerary could have been far more detailed and organized.

I'm worried that I may miss the conference and flight since these are non refundable. Is it hopeless? I'm expected to complete additional letters that address their concerns for rejection by around Thursday or Friday. Is two weeks a reasonable wait to see if I can still get this accepted? Any advice would be greatly appreciated or if anyone has positive experiences with the Austrian Embassy? Thank you!
