Studying English in Baguio from Thailand
What to know before you apply, and where to find everything in your own language.
A&J e-Edu Academy is an English academy in Baguio City, in the mountains of northern Luzon, roughly 1,500 meters above sea level. The altitude is why Baguio is noticeably cooler than the rest of the Philippines. This page is a starting point for planning the trip.

Before you travel
A Thai passport gets you into the Philippines without a visa for an initial stay of 30 days, as long as your passport is valid for at least six months and you are carrying a return or onward ticket. Courses that run longer than that are handled by extending your stay at the Bureau of Immigration once you are here, which our team walks you through. Separately, every foreign student on an English course studies under a Special Study Permit, and because A&J is accredited by the Bureau of Immigration to enroll international students, we process that for you after you arrive. Immigration rules change by circular, so please confirm the current position with the Bureau of Immigration before you book anything.
Getting to Baguio
Bangkok is well connected to Manila, and the road north from Manila to Baguio takes about five to seven hours depending on traffic and which terminal you leave from. Clark International Airport is much closer to Baguio, roughly three hours by bus, so it is worth checking whether your route can land there instead. Which airlines fly where changes from season to season, so confirm the routing when you book.
