Hello mga kabayan! I am a Tourism graduate with years of customer service experience. I am currently working in a Hospital. I'm planning to study in Australia for a vocational course since it's cheaper and short yung study year (1/2 yrs lang). May concern is lahat ng nainquire ko na agency, computed na kahit PHP100k yung tuition nung course. I need to have atleast PhP1M on my account. mostly this is for the living expenses. I dont have anyone / any relative who can sponsor me. Wala kaming kamag anak abroad. My budget is around Php100-300K only. Can someone help me what should I do? Or are there other options I could check? thank you!! -Jenn

Even though your budget is Php 100-300k, you still need to show that evidence of financial capacity for your living costs UNLESS you have enrolled in one of the big universities (USyd, UniMelb, UNSW, etc.). Getting an eCoE from them means paying the pricey AUD15k (around Php 600k) for the first sem, but when applying for the visa, you won't be required to show any other proof of funds anymore (at least according to the Document Checklist Tool. I think it's much more economical to go for the "sponsorship" route so you can stick to your tuition budget and not shell out more money than necessary.
