Can I leave the Philippines once or twice for business reasons during my studies?

Can I leave the Philippines once or twice for business reasons during my studies?

Yes, you can. Tuition and accommodation fees will not be charged during your absence. If you plan to leave the country during your studies, please request approval from the school at the time of registration.

However, please keep the following points in mind:

  1. Absence periods are calculated in weekly units. This allows you to avoid charges for the weeks you are away.
  2. Your class schedule and accommodation may change when you return to the school after your absence. Your luggage can be safely stored at the school office during this time.
  3. According to immigration regulations, you may need to reapply for your SSP and SSP I-Card in this situation. To avoid reissuance, the school will notify the immigration office in advance.
