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

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ once pa lang, sis. Nung March kami nagpunta.. yung friend ko kasi na based dun, naishare din sa akin nung nagkita kami kung pano yung sa parents and brother nya. One month dun ang parents nya (both first-timers), pero yung brother nya was denied kasi yata fresh college grad. .

^^ summer and spring palang ang nabisita kong season sa Japan. okay ang spring

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ agree. Ok nga ang spring. Super-ganda ng sakura. Buti talaga sumakto sa trip namin ang pag full bloom ng sakura, especially sa Tokyo.

Is the NSO receipt really necessary? I got 6 copies kasi of my marriage contract a few weeks ago and
I believe I threw the receipt already. I got that many cause i'll be apply for a lot of visas till next year. Para I don't
need to keep on coming back for one. Kaso I threw the receipt already before researching on the Japan visa
requirements.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ did not submt NSO receipt nung sa amin..

My brother and I will be going to Japan sometime this year, we have a friend that will do the invitation letter for us. Kaya lang mga 1 month pa bago ako umabot ng 1 year sa company ko and less than 20k yung sahod ko monthly. I went to 2 asian countries naman. Do you think may chance na mabigyan ako ng Japan visa?

[simplykristine08]

^ sis, try mo lang. wala naman mawawala. except sa bayad mo sa visa kasi kahit denied ka, non refundable na talaga yun. depende din sa mood minsan ng immigration officer goodluck!

[Ireneeeeee]

got my first jap visa! i just followed the requirements sa jap emba website (plus a copy of the plane tix) tapos yun itinerary ko gawa gawa ko lang. lol. i think it also greatly helps to show bank certificates para maprove mo you can support your stay in Japan.

[soulflygirl]

^waah congrats sis!!

we'll pass our requirements na next week and i'm scared coz maliit lang amount of money na mapapakita ko sa bank cert ko. 

[nicola_juliano]

Sana makapunta din ako dyan soon, kaso need ng madaming ipon. Magastos pumunta dyan compared to South Korea.

^ How long did it take for them to process your Visa???

[eischied_21]

Kelangan pa ba ng ITR for tourist visa application? I read kasi dun sa site. I'm ofw and may problem ako sa pagprocess ng visa kasi most ng travel agencies dito hindi nagaaccept ng foreigners (weird). Ang layo naman ng consulate from my place kun pupunta ako direct dun so ang last resort ko is to send all the requirements with my passport dun sa travel agency sa pnas kaso ITR ang hindi ko maaaccomplish. Magkakaproblem kaya ito kun ofw ako then sa pnas ako magaapply for visa? TIA

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sis, parang mahirap yang plan mo. Not advisable na nasa ibang lugar ka tapos wala kang hawak na passport. Masyadong risky, IMO.

I suggest you call the Japan consulate nearest your area muna. I'm sure they can give you better advise on how and where to process your visa.

[vain_kixie]

Its actually illegal to mail your passport out of the country. Hindi din yan tatangapin ng fedex and the likes. Usually passport copies lang ang hinihingi if a consulate or embassy needs to send your files to their home country.

Agree with bagaholic chewy na better call or email nalang the consulate and ask for their advice.

Kelan kaya lalabas yung official estimate nila for the sakura 2014? I'm keeping my fingers crossed na tama yung guesstimate ko.

I'll start preparing my documents for the visa na. Bank certificate lang kailan diba? No need for the bank statements?

[foruiz]

^i only submitted my bank certificate  sis

[eischied_21]

Thanks bagaholic_chewy and vain_kixie for your inputs. Oo nga risky nga un gagawin ko and not good if I don't have the passport with me. I tried to call them many times na kaso iba kasi yun language nun answering machine. Anyway, I'll keep on trying if not no more Japan tour.

[calin22]

Nakabook na kami for JAPAN on May, 1 week stay.
Worry ko lang kasi baka madeny ako sa VISA.
Itinerary wise, tour lang ang balak ko with very minimal shopping.
Hostel lang din ang titirahan namen.

How much ba dapat itratransfer ko sa Bank Account para ma-approved?

[vhanya]

1 week, 150k is enough
