How much cash should I bring from my country?<\/h1>\n

\u2708\ufe0f Short Answer: At least $500\u2013$1,000 USD<\/strong> in cash is recommended<\/h3>\n

\u2014 to cover essential local fees<\/strong>, your first few weeks of personal expenses<\/strong>, and any unexpected situations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Why Do I Need to Bring Cash?<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re preparing to study at 3D ACADEMY in Cebu, Philippines, you might wonder how much money you need to bring in cash. After all, you\u2019ve already paid your tuition and dormitory fees before arrival\u2014so why bring more?<\/p>\n

The truth is, there are important expenses you will need to pay locally<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Required government permits (SSP, visa extensions)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Utility fees and textbooks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Personal items and mobile SIM cards<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Transportation, meals, and optional tours<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Most of these costs must be paid in Philippine pesos and in cash<\/strong>, especially during your first 2\u20134 weeks.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Breakdown: What Will You Need to Pay After Arrival?<\/h3>\n

    Even though tuition is prepaid, here are mandatory local fees<\/strong> every student must pay in cash upon arrival or during their stay:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    And that\u2019s before you buy snacks, a SIM card, or take a weekend trip!<\/p>\n

    \n

    Visa Extensions: What You Need to Know<\/h3>\n

    If you\u2019re staying for more than 30 days<\/strong>, you must extend your tourist visa. Here’s the fee schedule:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Extension<\/strong><\/th>\nFee (PHP)<\/strong><\/th>\nValid Until<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

    Note: After the first extension, you can apply for the 2nd and 3rd together to save time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    What Else Will You Spend Money On?<\/h3>\n

    Besides local fees, daily living in Cebu involves typical personal expenses. Here’s what most students spend money on in the first few weeks:<\/p>\n

    \n

            How to Carry and Store Cash Safely<\/h3>\n

            Cebu is generally safe, but it\u2019s important to be smart:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Don\u2019t carry all your cash with you. Take PHP 1,000\u20132,000\/day<\/strong> at most.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Use your dorm locker or suitcase<\/strong> to store larger amounts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Don\u2019t count money in public places.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Avoid withdrawing large amounts at night or in isolated ATMs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Many students also split their money\u2014keeping some in a money belt, some in luggage, and some in a secure pouch.<\/strong><\/p>\n
