  @aa777 Mas maganda kung may agent ka para tulungan ka sa proper documentation at kung may tanong ka ay masagot ka ng councelor or ng agent. Alam ko sa IDP libre naman ang service nila dati.

  @aa777 check @Pampangasbest 's comments. binigay nya yung statement nya in one of his comments as sample. IDP is free pag sila ang nag apply sa Uni for you. but if visa assistance na lang, they charge 10k.

  Hi Guys! Congrats sa lahat may visa na. Anyway, i just wanna ask and get some advice to anyone na same case of refusal because of "No Access to the Account of Sponsor" then nag-relodge. First Question po, mabilis na lang ba ang timeframe kung magrerelodge? Second, wala po bang magiging problema kung mag-papalit ka ng sponsor? Third, possible kayang mabigyan ako kagad ng Visa kung naka-OR naman ako sa Accnt or maybe having an Special-Power-Attorney? Thank you po in advance sa mga mag-sishare ng ideas. Godbless us all.

  Hi guys! Do you happen to know the cheapest OSHC provider? Even with a scholarship, the university said I still have to pay the OSHC on my own. I know there are accredited providers. Anybody here knows there websites?
  
  Thanks!
