UK Visa

[Crissy]

Anyone here have tried applying for UK visa? Ano po ang mga requirements & Fess? I plan sana to apply as tourist next yr.

[supladitang cute]

google mo na lang uk visa then lalabas na sa site yung mga reqts. i think may financial capacity docs ka papakita like bank statements. hindi ba mahirap kumuha ng Uk visa as tourist?

[Crissy]

Of what I heard medyo strict din, but what i heard, it would be a great help if meron kang invitation na taga UK. How true kaya...

[supladitang cute]

i think naghigpit sila kase maraming mga pinoys na nagwowork there instead na talagang tourist. my sister is in london dame nila pinakita docs para makapunta don and may relative din kase kame dun kaya mabilis.

^tourist visa yung sister mo sis supladitang cute? Mga how much kaya yung show money prenesent nya?  Parang I'm having doubt tuloy applying for visa, baka ma denied lang ako, sayang ... But I really want to go around europe, it's my dream destination.. haaaay.

Hello Crissy,
We recently applied for a UK Visa.
Here is the website. It has complete details. You can also apply online then submit the requirements once you get a schedule from them. The process is fast.Also,check the website for requirements. It would be easier if you know someone from the UK to send you an invitation.

hi mga sis! I'd like to ask gano katagal yung validity ng UK tourist visas nyo?
I'll be joining a tour package kasi, london - paris, then parang 3 days lang ata ang stay sa london, does that mean 3 days lang din ang validity ng visa na ma-grant sakin? so short naman

thanks in advance for the replies

^when I applied for a tourist visa before, 180 days sya valid.

[sue323]

^ako din 180 days. Multiple entry yun.

[SunsetDream]

wow ang swerte nyo naman sis cha and sue323
im just worried baka 3 days lang ang i-grant sakin since 3 days lang ang sa itinerary ng package tour, eh tagal pinaghandaan then 3 days lang toink so short!

when you applied for your tourist visas mga sis package tour din ba or DIY itinerary? and was it granted the first time you applied for it? thanks again sisses!

[gumdrops26]

^hindi yan normally yata talagang 180 days ang iggrant nila..

ako kasi I booked our flights na tapos I included our eticket sa visa application ko noon... saka I requested nga for double entry lang pero I was still given a multiple entry.. quick lang din yun processing... exactly 1 week na approved yun sakin... and yes this was my first time applying for a UK visa.. I photocopied the rest of my visas na rin na nakuha ko noon, kasi nagaaral palang ako nun sa Australia, pinakita ko student visa ko and my previous 3 tourist visas na rin for Australia...

I went to UK last August this year. Madali lang naman makakuha ng visa as long as you show that you can support your stay there or if someone is sponsoring your stay, just show the financial status of your sponsor (bank statements and coe if employed), their passport and a letter from your sponsor stating that s/he will support you in your stay. It also helps if you have money in the bank to show that hindi ka mag TNT dun. Ako kase even if I'm unemployed here in PH, I was granted a visa since I have savings in the bank. I also went to Paris that same month, it helps that may UK visa ka muna before you apply for Schengen Visa. If you'll be joining a group tour, don't purchase the package until your visa is granted. Having a tour package arranged by a travel agency will not have any effect in the decision of granting you a visa. Hope this helps. Goodluck!

Nope. I live here in Finland, I don't have a Finnish passport yet that's why I still need a visa for my trips to the UK.  I got an invitation from my best friend who lives in London. Multiple entry talaga inapply ko para pwede ko pabalik balik sa UK sa loob ng 6 months.

hi mga sis, i need your help how to answer the question > what is the cost to you personally of your stay in united kingdom? thanks!

[sue323]

estimate mo lang expenses for food, accommodation, etc.

[mameejhy]

May interview rin ba? Mahirap ba ang interview?

Thanks

[katiztic]

^Hi sis!

Ako naka-apply na ng UK visa.
180 days ang validity, multiple entry.
sinulit ko, 3x ako bumalik.

Wala naman interview talaga.

Pagdating mo dun, just make sure your documents are complete. Tatawagin ang name mo, and you go to a counter where a filipino sort-of interviewer will review your papers. Minsan may tanong like "do you have this and that document" ganyan lang.

Then they put all your documents in an envelope, you pay all your fees, tapos you wait na naman to be called. After that, kukunin nila fingerprints mo

Then you go home, wait and pray that your visa will be approved

[mameejhy]

Oh, madali lang pala
