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

[shygirlme]

^sure sis. Problem ko nalang is si fiance walang itr ok lang kaya yun? Since di naman sya nagwowork sa pinas e.

[vhanya]

^That's no problem. Basta may COE or bank account

[blackgreen]

^hi sis vhanya. Hope you can give insight sa query ko above. Thank you.

[vhanya]

blackgreen, use the name on your passport when applying. Ok lang kahit 70k each bank account nyo. submit additional docs like COE or ITR as well.

[blackgreen]

^thank you so much

Additional query pala, mas mura sa discovery 800/head while friendship 1200/head. What can you recommend mga sis?

[shygirlme]

sis vhanya pano yung birth certficate? need ba ng orig? or pwede photocopy?

[vhanya]

^first time applicants, submit orig and photocopy. Ibabalik nila yung orig yata when they return your passport

I always course my application thru Friendship. It's up to you if you want to save some money

[shygirlme]

^thanks sis! basta punta nalang kami don no need na magpa appointment?

[vhanya]

Yes. The staff will check your requirements if complete and then you pay the processing fee

[shygirlme]

^sis feb 11 alis namin ok lang kaya mag apply kami ng feb 2?

[vhanya]

Why not apply earlier? Baka ma-stress ka kakahintay sa dami ng nag apply ngayon. Before it only takes 2-3 days but now I have a friend who got his visa after 4-5 bus days. 

You might want to apply at least 2 weeks before. To be safe.

[shygirlme]

^january 30? kasi 23 pa dadating si fiance, then 26 and 27 full sched kami sa wedding preps. di naman ako pwede umabsent ng 28 at 29

[vhanya]

Feb2 is ok. Earlier is better. Also, no need for personal appearance for both of you. Anyone can submit your requirements sa agency as long as complete and the application form is signed by you and your fiancé.

When we applied as a family this year, ako lang pumunta sa agency

[blackgreen]

Thanks sis vhanya. November travel namin okay lang na September kami apply for visa?

[vhanya]

^yup. As early as 3 months pwede na =)

[artegirl]

sis, my idea ka ba kung pano makakuha ng multiple entery visa?

after kasi ng trip ko sa january,  plan ko bumalik ng spring para ma-experience ko naman ang hanami

[fredprinz]

Hi Shii!

Hindi na talaga ibabalik yung mga documents, so kung kailangan mo siya, kailangan may photocopy ka nun.

That I'm not sure. I got my Japanese Visa approved (via Friendship Tours) this July for my recent September 2014 trip. I'm gonna go back to Tokyo next year, August-September. Hindi ako nag-try kumuha ng multiple-entry Visa kasi first time kong nagapply. I rather gamble on a single entry na kahit papano may chance of approval kesa sa multiple.

Yes, blackgreen, pwede ka magapply ng September. 'Yung babaeng nakausap ko sa Friendship Tours kahit 2 weeks before the flight daw, maa-accommodate naman nila. Pero syempre, walang guarantee na approved agad.

Here's the JPY conversion to Peso as of today.

1.00 JPY   =   0.377853 PHP

You guys might want to buy JPY as early as now. =) 

Huling bili ko sa Czarina's near Greenbelt is .42 per JPY eh.
