Tip: Japan Tourist Visa Application(very helpful-LINK inside)

[helloeveryone]

okay lang ba na kahit ang nilagay sa application form na port of entry sa japan eh Osaka pero nagchange kami ng plan mag Tokyo muna kami bago mag Osaka. Malalaman ba nila yun? thanks.

[esor]

^okay lang sis kahit anong port of entry ilagay mo, kahit nag wala ka pang ticket.
Nung nag apply ako wala pa kaming ticket ang port of entry na nilagay ko is OSAKA, nung na approve yung visa saka ako bumili ng ticket ang avail na promo na nabili ko is from NAGOYA

^sis, pwede malaman kung ano basic na nilalaman ng bank certificate? From where i come from, hindi nag iisue ng bank cert ang mga bank. Iprint ko na lang daw account summary or bank statement online.  Naisip ko gawa na lang ako ng sarili ko bank cert tapos patatakan ko na lang sa bank ng seal nila. Pwede kaya yun?

[esor]

^sa BPI nag iisue pa, kakukuha lang nung friend ko.
ang nakalagay lang dun account number & yung balance.
I'm not sure kung pwede yung ikaw na lang ang gagawa,
I think bank statement will do.

^^anong bank mo sis? every bank does that, haven't encountered any bank who doesn't either free pa yun or they charge you 50-100 pesos

[Lilacs]

^ overseas ako sis. I have accounts in 4 diff. banks. None of them ever issued bank cert. all are saying to just print bank statement online.

^ my bro and SIL are based abroad too, but we needed their bank docs for my (minor) nephew's visa application here in Manila. The banks there don't issue bank certificates too. So they just printed their bank statements for the last three months. Tinanggap naman and visa was approved.

Sis Maria, no need. Baka mas madaming requirements . Sa Discovery din kami nagsubmit. Mabilis lang din and mas mura. We got multiple entries (hubby, me and our 4yo daughter). Went to Japan last April. It was our first time, except for hubby.

Re bank accounts, i was asked to write a letter stating that I will cover the expenses for the travel. Our bank accounts kasi are not joint accounts. Sabi ko weird naman e magasawa naman kami so conjugal pa din. Anyways, requirement pa din so I did a very simple and short letter.

Super fell in love with Japan. I hope to go back pagkapanganak. Enjoy your trips!

Budz 25, yes pwede as long as legal permanent resident siya ng dubai your friend can apply at the embassy of japan in dubai.

Nag-apply na kami kanina sa Discovery Tour! May sarili pala silang Visa processing room hehe. Fail lang ni hubby di nya naprint yung 2316 nya. Buti na lang, naalala kong may email attachment sya na ginamit for BPI cc application. Mabait naman sila dun pumayag na iprint after emailing to them 1600 binayad namin via credit card.

Antay na lang sa release ng passport after 5-7 business days pa raw. Crossing my fingers!

Nag apply din kami sa Discovery tours ni bf last monday, got our visas kanina. 5-7 days din sabi nila saming processing time, pero on the 4th day, nakuha na namin yung passports namin. They gave me 5 years multiple entry. Si bf naman single lang, siguro kase first time pa lang  mag apply for japan visa. Pero happy pa din!
