Special Study Permit (SSP) in the Philippines: A Guide for Foreign Students
Studying in the Philippines as a foreign national brings exciting opportunities, but it also requires the right legal documentation. The Special Study Permit (SSP) is issued by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to foreign nationals taking short-term or non-degree programmes at a BI-accredited school. These include language programmes, technical or vocational training, special courses, flying schools, and primary or secondary education for students below 18. Degree programmes at college or university level generally need a 9(f) Student Visa instead. At Bizzure Visa, we make the SSP process simple, so you can focus on your studies.
