if you dont have a us visa you need to have to work with the vep (visitor's entry permit)

hi y'all!

just want to ask how can i get a permit to take the NCLEX in Saipan?

you need to have a vep... a travel agency will really help or contact continental airlines... visit philippine forum for a thread there...

and how long will i wait for them to reply?

if you are referring to vep 8 days- 2 weeks

and another thing, what can i expect in taking the exam in Saipan? thnx so much!!! :saint:

i don't know either but im sched there... god bless

if your a filipino it will be really accesible for you to have your exam in hongkong the fact that it doesn't have much requierments and you can go anytime. in saipan, you have organzie things (i mean schedule ahead of time) and fix your vep... as for the expenses, i think they are just the same... hongkong is cheaper but it has aditional $150.. so the expenses would just be quite the same unless you know ways to save... like having a cheaper hotel or airline :)

for ^same^

thanks for your reply! how about making a schedule? is it always full in saipan test center like in hk wherein its always full? i applied for illinois. if a register with pearson. my att will only be valid for 90days so within 3mos i have to schedule my exam. im worried if i register for hk and i wont be able to schedule myself within 3mos may att will expired. thats why im thinking if taking it in saipan if it has more available sllots than hk.

Saipan, traditionally will have more slots readily available as compared to HK but still no guarantee that you will be able to get one w/in 3 mos but definitely have much better chance in getting a slot w/in 90 days vs. HK.

Before there is no fee to change testing centers now pearson-vue charges $50 if an applicant want to change testing centers.

thanks lawrence! i am actually contemplating on that. if ever i register for hk and they dont have available slots before my att expires i might transfer to saipan. il take time to read their policy regarding change of test centers. thanks again!

Oops, I was referring to change of Board of Nursing and not change in test centers. Sorry for the mix-up.

You can change testing centers w/ no additional cost. Instructions for doing so are given in your account.

thanks for the info lawrence! but can i clarify what you posted, you said "no additional charge" if i change testing center? i thought there is $150 cost if i do change my testing center. like for example hk to saipan? or how about saipan to hk?

nxt777 · Feb 2, 2007

though i haven't registered to pearson yet. i plan to register this feb or march so i can have until may or june to take the exam. i applied to illinois, so my att will only be valid for 90days.
