are you referring to a driver's license? You can apply for non-pro or pro license six months after you applied...if you pass the exams.
2 :
Yes of course you can apply for another but if you want to upgrade it to non-prof or prof then here are just some of the requirements. Non-Prof: duly accomplished Application Form Valid Student Permit (at least 1 month old) Medical Certificate (from an LTO or Government accredited hospital or Physician) or valid AFP/PNP organic personnel I.D. Negative Drug Test Result (from a DOH accredited drug testing center) Taxpayer's Identification Number (TIN) and Certificate from Commanding Officer, if military personnel. Prof: (same as Non-Prof except for the following) Valid Student Permit (at least 5 month old) Clearance/Certificate (any of the following) NBI Clearance Police Clearance Court Clearance

How much does an average college student spend in the Philippines?
How much does an average college student spend in the Philippines?
My parents are sending me to the Philippines for college for the next 4 years. They're paying for tuition and boarding, and pretty much anything relating to school . So how much on average does a college student in the Philippines spend weekly? Let say that i go grocery shopping during the weekend and need to also send holiday gifts, plus shopping. How much would i need to have with me when i go to the philippines for the next 4 years? And to just clarify things, since a lot of people have been telling me that its a bad idea, its not a bad idea. I want to go there to learn more of my culture and have better tagalog, only thing that makes me sad is leaving all my friends. College in the Philippines is just as College in the U.S. plus in the Philippines it cost so much cheaper if you're coming from the U.S., if you're from the Philippines it's pretty expensive. But you're getting the same education but just with different expenses.

It would cost you about 100,000 pesos a year. Thats including food, transport and misc items.
2 :
If you want to lead a lifestyle similar to a US middle class lifestyle, you will probably spend about two-thirds of what you would spend in the US, so long as you do not own an automobile. Most Philippine university dormitories offer a lower standard of living than do most US dorms. Do not be surprised if you have five or seven roommates in a small room with bunk beds. Expect Filipino food which may have different nutritional values than US food. Do not necessarily expect air conditioning. Remember that high school in the Philippines ends at the equivalent of the end of the tenth grade in the US and that many bachelor's degrees from the Philippines are considered by many US universities to be the equivalent of a US associate degree. This factor will be important if you want to go to graduate or professional school in the US. It may also affect employment prospects in the US. Do not take all your money with you. Find a bank in the Philippines which has an ATM which is on the same system as the ATM of a bank in your home town in the US so that your family can transfer money to you as you need it. Remember that the daily cash withdrawal limit of the Philippines ATM may be lower than that of US ATMs. Do not keep large amounts of cash with you or in your living place. Robbery and burglary are too common in all countries in the world.

She wants a student visa to work. That is breaking the rules. It would be best if she just stayed in her own country.
2 :
I would contact a local college and see if they would issue a student visa. Give them all the details they need as well as sponsor(you) details She is allowed to work for 15 hours per week on her student visa. Do you have any pinoy associations in your area who would be able to help?
3 :
-you have to find a school in norwich that is licensed to sponsor an overseas student. -documents to prove that you are willing to help her with accommodation and expenses. ( bank statements and mortgage certificate ) - documents to prove that she got the money to spend while studying in her own name. -better if you can pay her tuition in full
4 :
She needs to apply for a course in a college or University in UK that is duly registered with HomeOffice for offering courses to foreign students. Once that college/University will accept ur sister as student, they will send her offer letter & that offer letter will be used to apply for visa. Since Homeoffice changed the rules lately, you sister must be able to score minimum points to qualify for student visa. That includes, 1) Offer from College/University (for full time course only). 2) IELTS with score of 6.5 Academic (English language test). 3) Bank Statements to prove one is able to support him/herself. 4) Educational certificates of previous education already completed. 5) Points for his/her age. Thats pretty much it. I have printed HomeOffice website for guidelines, as well as UKVISAS (Government) webstie for visa guidelines. Please go through them. Good luck.
5 :
First there is no guarantee regardless of how much money your sister has in her account that her student visa will be approved. The money I assume is meant to show she is able to support herself without relying on the government for support. Also I suspect the money is to show that she has enough money to pay for her tuition due to the fact she is ineligible for financial support from the government through loans and grants. Second from reading your posting it reads as though getting her a student visa is more of a way to get her in the country than for her to study. My understanding may have arisen from the poor grammar that was used in posting the question. If she is not a legitimate student then most likely her application will be rejected or once here she will be sent back due to the fact she is not a legitimate student. Her ability to work and remain in the country is directly related to her being a student that complies with the rules regarding having a student visa. Moving on to your next question. Is there enough time to get into college in September 2009. According to recent media reports there are 60,000 students waiting to go through clearing with only 10,000 spots available. Granted she is an international student in which colleges put aside 'x' number of spots for international students but I struggle to be too optimistic given the demand by UK citizens for university spots and if she has not applied yet, then in my honest opinion I believe it is too late for her. Ideally she should have made her application sometime between November and the end of March. Any application she makes must be from a school approved by the Home Office. Otherwise her application will be rejected. Finally using an agency will not help her application in being approved and any agency that guarantees approval in my opinion should not be used. In all honesty she can do it herself for allot less money and with similar results. In order to answer your questions it is my feeling if she has not applied for university / college yet then it is too late for her to start school in September in the UK.

In the Philippines, is a person allowed to drive alone even though he only has a student driving permit?

the law prohibits it...someone who has only a student's driving permit must be accompanied by someone who has at least a non professional driver's permit.
2 :
no
3 :
No. Should be accompanied by a professional driver's license holder.
4 :
you can drive alone even with a driving permit... but be sure your student driving permit goes with a huge amount of money so incase a police caught you without a license just hand over the money and your free to go...
5 :
No, the first and foremost requirement should have a professional driver with him, must be a licensed also. implementation is not strict but sometimes traffiic police inspect the drivers surprisingly in a certain area, and that will cause violation of the traffic commisiion. Better to drive with professional to avoid penalties and accident. Or there are so many ways to have a professional one. I'm not convincing you because this is a corruption practice, try to find fixers within Land Transportaion offices, and they can give you professional license instantly.
6 :
No. A professional licensed driver must at all times accompany one who holds a student driving permit.
7 :
no girl...he or she must be acompany wd a person who has a non-profesional lisecence or profesional.
8 :
lots of ppl think they can drive by themselves with a student permit.. my friend just gut busted for it. and he was surprised and argued with the traffic police. if u have a student permit u can drive only if u are accompanied by a licensed driver.
9 :
Anyone with a student driver's license only has to drive with a licensed Professional driver.
