So you booked a promo ticket to Japan for a week's vacation. Congrats! Whichever comes first (visa or plane tickets), you have to be ready and packed with information on how to get that Sakura flower on your Philippine Passport. So the following tips will be based on my visa application experience last 2016 wherein me and my SO successfully got the visa stamped on our passports. We were able to have a summer vacation like no other in Tokyo, Yokohama and Chiba. These are the questions I can answer for you about the Japan visa application: 1. Where to apply for Japan visa? Reli Tours & Travel. Visa processing for Japan is handled only by travel agencies, unless you're a special case. I visited the Megamall branch since it's the nearest and most accessible agency to my location. 2. How much does it cost?
Php 950 for Tourist Visa. You can also check all the rates on the link I gave you. 3. How long is the waiting time? We waited a work week (or 5 days only) to get our visa approved. This doesn't mean though, that you can apply like a week before your scheduled date of travel. Not all visa applications get approved that easily. Some wait for 2 weeks, etc. 4. What are the requirements I need to provide? The requirements might vary but what I remember, I submitted the following: a. NSO Authenticated Birth Certificate b. Bank Certificate c. Income Tax Return Certificate (LATEST) Note: For persons with late registered birth certificate, they require extra documents to be submitted before they accept your application and they will not be returning these documents: a. High School Form 137 (Photocopy with Dry Seal) b. Baptismal Certificate (ORIGINAL) 5. How much should I show on my Bank Certificate? You have to be careful enough not to submit a bank account that has a big amount. I suggest you use your bank account that has just enough money for the duration of your travel, so let's say if your going for an 8-day trip like ours, around 60K to 100K in pesos is enough (for individual account). |
