- Language Assistant: Visa, Interviews, & PH Immigration (Filipinos)
This video is for Filipinos who are applying as a Language Assistant through the Auxiliar de Conversación program. Specifically, we are in the Ministry program and other programs may be different. We shared some tips and tricks on visa interview and the first stage interview. The tips we shared are based on our personal experiences and may not be entirely applicable this year (2020) due to COVID-19, but we tried our best to give helpful tips!

Update: There are a lot of changes with the program regarding renewals (how long can you do the program) and visa requirements (there are some documents that you need to translate). Please take the time to research about this.

Hello Anina again!
I asked you before through a comment on one of your videos last year regarding the application process and interview questions of the Education adviser. Luckily, I got an email from the Spanish Embassy stating that I have been selected to take part in the next batch of the Language and Culture Assistants Program for Filipinos in Spain 22-23. My question is, will this guarantee that I will be part of the program or there are instances that I might not be admitted through the selection process in Profex?
Btw, I really appreciate your efforts in helping our Aux kababayans through your vlogs.
more power to youuu!
Hello! Congratulations!! As far as I know, guaranteed naman but parating may changes every year so it’s best to apply early nalang in profex.
Happy to help, thanks for watching! 🤍
@@aninagabrielle thank you very much! More love and subscribers to your channel!
Hi! Thank you for your vlogs. I've recently completed the interview and fortunately, I passed. Super helpful lahat ng tips niyo thank you so much:). I just wanna ask some tips regarding the profex application, I hope it's okay. For the letter of intent and recommendation letter, kay Ms. Sandra ba dapat ito naka address ? :) and yung addess na nilagay niyo noon ay yung sa Spanish Embassy sa Manila ba? Thank you so much again.. Just wanna double check if I understood it correctly :)))))
Hey! Thank you for watching! I need to check again. I have class right now. I’ll get back to you asap!
@@aninagabrielle wow thanks for your fast response. And alright! Thank youu so much :)))
@@ericaesteban5193 Hey! Sorry it took so long, we used to whom it may concern for both letters. You’re coming from a school right? The letterhead is important for the reference letter.
@@ericaesteban5193 Also, I’m not aware if they changed something about the profex requirements this year but I think you don’t need to address it to Ms. Sandra because the people who will check your requirements are in Madrid from the Ministry. So unless they stated something, I think “to whom it may concern” is ok. 😊
@@aninagabrielle Hi again! Thank you so much for your response. Ms. Sandra gave a doc after the interview and nakalagay sa guidelines na "addressed to the Spanish Education Advisor". At first I thought probably si Ms. Sandra yun... Pero I wasn't so sure and naisip ko na for this stage yung magchecheck is probably from Spain na :) thank you for verifying. :D Do you know if may Spanish Education Advisor din sa Ministry na nasa Madrid? :) and did you put an address sa letter? thank you so much again I appreciate your help 💕🙏🏾❤️
Noice!
😉😉
Hi! Thank you for this! Very helpful. May I ask if you have any idea how much the medical insurance should be or do you have any more information about that? Thanks!
Hello! Medical Insurance is already included in the program or do you mean medical exam in the Philippines for the visa?
@@aninagabrielle oh alright! I meant the medical insurance hehe I just thought we needed to get a separate medical insurance 😅 thanks so much! Im done with my interview with the ministry so fingers crossed I hear from them soon ☺️💜
@@vsjustvibing8356 best of luck! ❤️
Hi this was super helpful! I just want to ask if having a solo parent would affect my visa application?
No I don’t think so ☺️
Hi. Thank you for this helpful information. 😍 I’d like to ask, in case you have idea, is it possible not to have a sponsor? Thank you in advance 🥰
Yes! It is possible, you can show your own bank documents ☺️
@@aninagabrielle thank you so much 🥰
Hi 😃 Can I apply kahit na currently nagtuturo ako abroad like dito sa Thailand? Or do I need na nasa Philippines ako while applying?
Keep a helpful video coming guys! 🙏 Thank you for sharing us your experience.
I think you can BEDA! I’m not sure with Ministry ☺️
@@aninagabrielle thank you so much 🙂
thank you for this helpful information po! I would like to ask po how to extend teaching there in spain? :)
Happy to help! ❤️ You can renew up to 2 years with the Ministry right now but there are a lot of other programs you can transfer to after the Ministry. But if you mean like a teacher here in Spain, I’m not sure how! I also know you can apply for a work visa after 3 years of being on a student visa. I’m not knowledge on the requirements and how, sorry!
Hi, Thank you for this video very informative, ask ko lang usually magkano dapat yung proof of fund sa bank for visa?
Hello! Sabi po nila if possible na wag lower than 100-150k
How long did it take for you to have your visa approved? And you left your passport with them?
Oh, I can’t remember but on top of my head I think 2 weeks? I’m not sure, but we have mentioned it in the vlog!
Hi! Question again, did they tell you whether you passed or not right after the interview? :)
For the first stage, yes they did! For the visa you need to wait 2 weeks ☺️
Hello! This is such an informative video because I plan to apply in this program next year. However, I graduated 4 years ago and I'm thinking that it might be difficult to justify that this "trip" is for study or internship. Are there any tips for my case? Also, is it still possible for me to apply in this program even if I graduated a long time ago? Thank you in advance.
Hello! There are older people naman who apply to this program, so yeah I think it’s still possible ☺️
Hello! 😊 May I ask if we need to prepare any document before booking an interview? I’m not from any of the program’s affiliated school but still hoping they would open for phase 2 🥲🤞🏼
Hello! Parang wala naman, you just need to book a slot for the interview ☺️
Hi! Also from UST and ongoing na application ko. Just waiting for the region assignment now. Anyway i heard abt the OFW sponsor, pano yung ITR if ibang language sya other than english?
Hi! I’m not sure, maybe it’s best to email the consulate and ask about it. ☺️
@@aninagabrielle hi!!! Noted on this :) thank you!!!
Hi! Question lang re: proof of economic means. My brother will be my sponsor but I’m not sure if the money / bank statement should come from my bank account or is it okay if it’s in my brother’s bank account. Also I’m unemployed and fresh grad so my savings is not that big, kaya I was wondering if my brother’s bank statement will be enough proof or they still need to check my own bank account? Or do I just transfer some of his money to my bank account, however the problem is malapit na ang visa application. Hahahuhuhu. Thank youuuu
If you’re a fresh grad and unemployed, I think the safest way to go based on our experience is just to show your sponsor’s bank documents. Good luck! ♥️
Hi! I would like to ask what’s the safe amount of money for savings in the bank account? Thank u
Hello! They usually suggest higher than 150k, but some applicants got a visa naman with money below 150k
hello.. question regarding the requirement, is the sponsorship document mandatory? TIA
Hi! No, especially if you have enough savings to support yourself. We suggest that to fresh graduates ☺️
Hi! May recommended po ba kayo na Spanish Sworn translator po ba kayo na nasa Philippines? I heard they will mail the translated documents, I was wondering wondering how long would it take? And also the yung mismong apostille po ba kailangan din translated? Thank you and more power to you?
Hello! I'm so sorry but I don't have any recommendations because we weren't required to do that during our batch. I’ll ask a friend from the previous batch.
@@aninagabrielle oh really? Is this a recently added requirement? Omg thank you I’d appreciate that
@@virtualhaven6441 Monica Rodriguez

I think several applicants had Monica as their translator. From what I heard, she’s not a sworn-in translator but the consulate has been accepting translations from her for a long time. Up to you!
Hi po! I’m back hehe may I ask po if the Affidavit of Support and the documents of my Sponsor should be translated in Spanish? Also, would the Affidavit need to be notarized in the Embassy of my OFW sponsor or pwede po sa Philippines na sya inotarize? Thank you!
Also po, when do we receive the carta? Hehe got the regional placement na but I havent received my school placement or carta. Thank you!
You have to check with the consulate kasi during our time we weren’t required to translate anything pero now may documents na ata na kailangan i-translate.
I think sa Embassy ng OFW na sponsor. I’m if pwede sa Pinas.
I heard some regions started giving out their cartas na, so waiting game nalang talaga 😊
@@aninagabrielle Okay thanks so much! I’ll look into this. The waiting game is so haba haha but I think it’ll be worth it naman 💕
tanong ko lng... since quarantine ang españa, meron pa rin kayung allowance?...
Yes po, tuloy pa rin kahit nung lockdown dahil nag online classes. Ngayon, physical classes po kami dito.
Hello, were you able to talk to some older/senior language assistants there? Like what if I am already a teacher and been teaching for 6 years now-for the visa interview do I still need to say that I’m going there for studies or internship alone? Wouldn’t it be suspicious since I am already a working adult? I don’t know if you’ll be able to answer my question, but just in case you know the answer, it will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi! So sorry but I don’t think I can answer your questions. I don’t know anyone personally who experienced that but I do know that there are assistants that went here who are much older and also had a job when they were applying for the student visa. It turned out okay. Good luck! 😊
@@aninagabrielle oh that’s great then! Hope you can make a video together with some language assists who are much older, my friends and I have some questions for them... thank you!
@@enahrecio5691 I hope so too! Are you and your friends in the facebook groups and chat?
@@aninagabrielle What Facebook group? Sorry, i have no idea. :)
@@enahrecio5691
facebook.com/groups/664911883639295/?ref=share
facebook.com/groups/FilipinoAuxliaresdeConversacion/?ref=share
You can join there! I can also add you to the group chat of the current applicants for the incoming school year if you are applying too. In the groups, maybe you can post your questions and they’ll probably answer or even just ask who can you PM that are much older auxies. Usually, they are responsive and helpful naman.
There are several Auxiliar facebook groups with long threads with lot of questions. Just search them up on Facebook! ☺️
Gaano po katagal yong financial means sa bank? Sabi kasi 3-6 months
Hello! What do you mean po? Yung ipapakita na money sa consulate or yung pocket money?
Hi, Ladies! Question: for the affidavit of support, will the documents need to be original ones, what if my sponsor is in abroad. Are email screenshots sufficient kaya? What do you girls reckon? Hehe thanks!
Especially the birth certificate to establish relationship with my mom. My sponsor is sending me a scanned copy lang thru email. 😊
Yes, they need to be original so they need to send you the original papers through mail. I think the papers should also be stamped/authenticated in the country where they are.
Anina Gabrielle oh I see so emails don't work. Hahaha thanks!
@@karloabecia You’ll need both original and photocopy. If she was born in the Philippines maybe you can request her birth certificate on her behalf. I also suggest you to provide your mom’s valid IDs with her live signatures on the side. But unfortunately, everything needs to be an original copy.
Anina Gabrielle yup that's load of things to do pa. Hehehe maybe I'll try my dad nalang to sponsor me. How much do you think should the general fund be enough to sponsor?
Hello where to get the sponsorship form? Tnx
Hello, if this is for the visa application, there is no sponsorship form. Just submitted the documents from the list that the Spanish Education Advisor gave you. We also mentioned it in the video.
Hello! Do they also ask situational questions? Thank you 😊
Hi! What do you mean situational? Like in school here? She asked me but I think that’s rare. She asked me how will you teach this ____ but I think ako lang naka experience non :(
Hi again sorry, were you asking about questions during the visa interview?
@@aninagabrielle Thanks for your quick response hehe i was wondering if the first interview has questions like how do you get your student’s attention and the like 😊
@@erikagutierrez7676 I think it depends they kind of changed this year but mostly likely not! Good luck! ☺️
@@aninagabrielle Thank you very much! It really means a lot. Stay safe. 😊
Hello ate! How old are you po? Are there other applicants who were accepted that were undergraduates?
Hi! We applied when we were in 4th year college through our school for the Ministry program. We just submitted our official TOR available at that time then we graduated before we started the program. I think the other programs require you to hold a bachelors degree before applying.
@@aninagabrielle omg huhu soo. There was never an undergraduate who was accepted before?
@@shaneym.3140 You can be accepted if you applied as an undergraduate (like us) but if you choose to immediately do the internship, you have to go back after and finish your degree. But most of the people I know, they finish their degree first then do the internship. I’m not sure how it works/what the set up is if you haven’t finished yet. I think only the Ministry offers that, you can check their website for the specific requirements. Hope this helps! 😊
@@aninagabrielle wow thank you so much ate! You are very helpful😍😍😍 God bless and stay safe in Spain😊
@@shaneym.3140 Anytime! Thanks for watching ❤️ Stay safe too!
Internship kayo? Or graduate na kayo ng college?
Graduate na po kami ng College. “Internship” lang po ang program na sinalihan namin.
gaano katagal po yong release ng visa?
Minimum, 2 weeks!
😢😢
Hmph
