Paying the tuition fee

simplemansimpleman Iligan CityPosts: 16Member
edited September 2012 in Study and Training Visa
We are now ready to pay the tuition fee and OSHC in the amount of 11k plus AUD. We went to Metrobank and BDO and their procedures are the same. We cannot send the money to the Uni’s account using our own peso bank deposit. It must be from a US dollar account (wala ako) or I will bring my own USD money. The bank will not sell you USD if the purpose is you will send it abroad. There are also many requirements like your agreement with your Uni, etc.
Is their any other way to pay the tuition without bringing my own dollars. Kasi baka madaya pa sa kabibili ng dollar sa mga money changer.

    @simpleman I also have the same dilemma right now. IDP advised me to pay via telegraphic transfer and I already inquired in some banks. Since nakita ko po na last year pa kayo nag-apply for student visa, ask ko lang kung pano kayo nag-pay ng tuition fee sa school?

    Telegraphic Transfer is the same in all bank... Magkakaiba lang ito sa FX rate and fees nonetheless darating dapat ito sa recipient mo... :)

    nope... i have done bank to bank TT from Singapore to Australia.


    quiet surprise how on earth maging cheaper ang western union; usually these companies charge a very hefty fee for money transfer.

    I see. here.. not sure if it's the same/related to the Western Union that we have here though..
    New International
    Students
    New international students will receive information
    about fees payable in their UWS Offer of
    Admission letter. The available payment methods
    for new international students are outlined below.
    Western Union
    Telegraphic Transfer
    You can transfer your payment to the
    University’s bank account via Western Union.
    This is the University’s preferred payment
    method for new international students.
    The University of Western Sydney has partnered
    with Western Union Business Solutions to
    provide international students with a reliable and
    simple online payment service. This telegraphic
    transfer service allows you to:
    »» Pay your tuition fees from your home country
    in your own currency or the currency of your
    choice
    »» Avoid delays with payment delivered directly to
    UWS on the same day or within two working
    days, and for the full payment amount.
    »» Avoid expensive bank charges – you will not
    need to worry about double conversions or
    extra bank fees
    »» Make a payment that is guaranteed for 72
    hours - so you will know the final cost of fees
    »» Receive dedicated support - Western Union
    will answer all your questions and provide
    payment receipts
    To make your online payment please visit:
    www.geoforeducation.com/UWS. For more
    information, please read Western Union’s
    User Guide and FAQ’s at www.uws.edu.au/

    @nar_jet - ganito nalang, call western union and ask for their fees; call a bank, compare and share it to us... :)

    I still believe Western Union will be more expensive...
