Student Visa - to include family or not?

Hello po. Mag aapply po ako ng student visa (school application for Master degree is underway). I received different advice po about including my family in the initial application of the visa.
1 - Lodge a SV for myself only, and then once SV is granted, then I will apply for my spouse and my two children (both under 18 years old)
2 - Include my spouse and my two kids in my initial application.

Which one po ba dapat? Thank you po sa sasagot. :smile:

    I've known people na dinala nila yong family on student visa. You need to carefully assess po sa school ng mga bata, health benefits, etc knowing hindi pa eligible for govt perks on temporary visa.

    If money/finance isn't an issue, better bring your family para makakasama mo sila 😊

    Not sure what will be the difference of applying visa for the family after your SV is granted. Malaki lang talaga gagastusin pag kasama family because mahal ang insurance ng dependents and also need to show proof that you can support the kids' education and other expenses.

    My children are 14 and 16 years old. Do they need english test pa ba para makapasok ng school doon? Though kids these days can really speak English. the medium of instruction is English in school. mas hirap na nga sila mag Tagalog kesa mag English.... but, would it be required? Thanks po.
