MANILA, Philippines — With the expected resumption of more in-person classes this year, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Thursday assured the “smooth processing” of international students who will be returning to resume their studies in the Philippines. BI has also reached out to school officials and groups who have expressed intent in admitting foreign applicants for the upcoming academic year. Over 35,000 international students, mostly in the medical field, were studying in the country prior to the global health crisis. The government in March permitted colleges and universities in areas under Alert Level 1 to hold in-person classes with 100 percent of the classroom’s capacity.
