thanks mga sis! Risky pala kung nakabili nako ng ticket to japan and got denied if i apply 3 mos before.. hmm...

I usually have a reserved ticket when I apply for tourist visa. Tapos with the usual proof of occupation, bank cert, okay naman. Wala akong hotel reservation na sinubmit.

As long as tourist ka talaga and tourist visa ang inaapply mo with proper docs, di sila magdedeny lalo na ngayong mababa ang tourist rate nila because of the march 2011 incident.

I applied through Reli's sa mega dati. Matagal pila. :/

[sixteen_16]

^plan ko kasi bumili na ng ticket pagngkapromo which is usually 1 year before kaso un nga 3mos validity ng tourist visa tama ba? or can i apply visa 1 year before the travel date?

[prettynvain]

^nope. may expiry date mga visa. pag-apply mo siguro within that month or the following month start na yung validity tapos nakalagay lang until when. !year before your planne travel is too early pa.

Kung Japan Visa at aasikasuhin ng Travel Agency, 2 weeks before ng alis mo pwede na mag apply. One week lang halos ang application at makukuha na din agad. Maliban kung me kulang sa requirements.

[sixteen_16]

ah ok...sige mga sis thanks for all your advice! 

[mitch2526]

Kung bibili ng promo ticket, i suggest kahit yung return flight lang muna, kasi mas makakatulong yun sa application rathr than yung papunta. Ako nakapag apply nako dati tourist, with cebu pac from osaka to manila return.

as far as i know and with my experience, they don't really require RT tickets basta tentative dates lang.. if they ask you, just tell them that the travel agency asked you to apply the visa first. better apply atleast a month or a month and a half before your planned travel date, it's always better na may allowance kesa magahol sa oras if ever may hinging additional documents ang japan embassy. mahirap yung may ticket ka na tapos lalakarin mo a week or two before, what if may hingin sila na supporting documents pa and you need to get that pa, eh di nawalan ka na ng oras..

yung sa akin, unang application ko tourist visa w/ch is good for 15days tapos i applied multiple visa after that.

Hello mga sis!

base sa mga nakilala ko,di lahat ng may Japan visa ay na -aaproved ng US Visa,pero may mas possibility na magkaroon ka.

[coldsiren]

^^ in my case, a day after ng dating ko from Japan yung interview ko sa US embassy. Naapprove naman yung US visa ko. They gave me a 10 year multiple entry visa. Pero bago ako kumuha ng Japan tourist visa may travel history na ako. Yun nga lang sa mga visa free countries. Hindi ko sinadya na a day after ng Japan tour yung interview ko, yun lang kasi ang available time ko at approved na yung VL ko sa office nun.
Sana this year makapunta ulit ako sa Japan with my family naman instead of friends.

pag first time sa Japan, anong magandang itinerary?

meron kasing tour, 110t per person for 7days pero nakakatamad gumising ng maaga at palagi nagmamadali pag tour.

gusto ko sana DIY nalang pero parang complicated.

question about application ng transit visa.

lahat ba ng ganitong visa e yun airline ang nag aapply para sa passenger?

ang intended flight kasi e manila-narita via JAL then Japan-USA c/o American Airlines. may possibility na lumabas ng airport for the connecting flight to US kasi chance passenger lang e (crew privilege). pero pwede din na hindi na kung available naman ng same day yun connecting flight.

pag ganitong case, paano at sinong airline kaya mag aapply ng transit visa?

 will be applying for a visa on august in time for my October 10 trip. i might ask my high school classmate to helpme  out.it seems that mas madali ata ang visiting friends kesa regular tourist?

[coldsiren]

^para sa akin mas madali yung regular tourist than visiting.
kasi kung visiting friends kailangan pa ng documents from them.
kung regular tourist kasi ikaw lang ang magproprovide ng documents.
hopefully, this year I could visit my hs friend in Japan,
pero ayaw na namin syang gambalahin sa mga  documents.
kya regular tourist ang plan naming applyan.
magbobook din kasi kami ng hotel kasi maliit lang yung flat ng friend namin,

[bagaholic_chewy]

We're applying for a visa this week or next. regular tourist visa lang sana tho me sibling (and his family) ako dun. Di naman kasi kami magsi-stay sa kanila since we prefer na sa central Tokyo mag-stay e sila nasa 1hr away pa. Although of course, magkikita kami dun during weekends pag wala silang work.

Pero sabi kasi ng agency, we need to declare pa rin daw my sibling so yun, mukhang kelangan ko ilagay details nya. Sana lang di na humingi ng documents from them.. Kasi ayoko na din sila i-hassle..

[foruiz]

^^ok lang daw siya na magambala kasi madali lang daw to secure those docs.last resort ko na yan pag di ako nakaipon ng decent show money come july.hehe

[coldsiren]

^ madali lang mag apply ng tourist visa. Yung 1st try namin ng hs friends ko approved agad.
We went there for 6 days 2 years ago. This time gusto namin itry backpacking in Japan. Yun nga lang kailangan ko pa mag ipon for pocket money.
