There are some requirements you must meet:

  • You hold Philippine passport
  • You age is between 18-30 years old
    • which means you have not passed 31 years birthday on the open day.
    • For example, this year, the slot open on 2020.02.11, which means you date of birth must be after 1989.02.11
      • if your birthday is 1989.02.12, then you can apply for it.
      • If you birthday is 1989.02.11, then you are not eglible to apply for it

Despite of these 2 requirements, you also must have a tertiary qualification. After you apply online,  immigration officer ask you to provide a copy of your qualification, which must have involved at least 3 years’ full-time study.

  • So if you have a bachelor degree, and you speed 4 years full time to get the degree, then you can apply
  • for other siutations, you can inquiry immigration office for declaration.

If you meet all the requirements above, then you can apply for this visa.
