🔄 Cập nhật lần cuối: 07/10/26

The price of a study abroad ticket depends a lot on the time. Every year, tens of thousands of Vietnamese students fly in the same admission time frame — if you book late, you will have to compete for each seat. The table below summarizes popular admission periods and suggests when to reserve your spot.

Popular admission periods by country

• Australia, New Zealand: main semester February and July (some schools have additional November). It is recommended to book tickets from October–November for the February session.
• USA, Canada: Fall period (August–September) is the highest peak; Spring semester January. Reservations should be made from May to June for Fall semester.
• UK, Europe: most admissions September–October, some programs January–February.
• Korea: March and September terms; Language courses come many times a year.
• Japan: April and October are the two main periods of Japanese language school.
• Taiwan, Singapore: usually February and September.

Note: specific schedules vary between schools — always check with your admission letter.

Why should you book 2–3 months early?

Airlines open sales in many price classes. The cheaper ones run out first, the more expensive ones last. Booking early helps you have more flight options, baggage options, and better flight times — especially when you need to fly on the day your school requires you to be present.

Please ask an expert to advise you on the type of ticket with suitable date change conditions, or reserve a seat before getting a visa (depending on each airline's policy). At VeDuHoc, you can choose “Flexible ±3 days” in ticket booking form Let us find the date with the best price.
