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

[shygirlme]

^sis first time mo kumuha ng japan visa?

[portugalbear]

Yes sis kaya kinabahan ako. Pero may history of travel kami sa Asia. Yun nauna sa akin I overheard NA single 1 yr Lang ang binigay. Happy na ako sa 1 yr. huwag Lang ma deny. Kaya ecstatic ako when pag pick up ko sabi sa agency 5yrs multiple.

i have some questions mga sis, hope you can help

1. if ofw ako, COE lang ba kelangan? since we are not required to pay taxes, i have TIN pero yung latest na nabayaran kong tax eh dun sa first job ko dito sa pinas which was 7 yrs ago.
2. kung yung bank account ko is still under my maiden name, ok lang ba yun? or kelangan ko ichange sa married name ko for the bank account statement?
3. kelangan ba nakabook or bayad na ang plane ticket at hotel bago mag apply ng visa? kasi if i get denied, sayang naman ang mahal pa ng plane tickets.
4. i have read na gratis ang visa sa japan, can i apply directly or dapat talaga may agency?

Sis Di required yun COE. required talaga ang latest ITR and bank account cert and itinerary. No need to show plane ticket or hotel booking. But since OFW ka, Baka the COE will be acceptable. Ask the agency. Definitely you cannot go straight to the embassy.   As regards your name sa bank account, you will required to submit NSO birth and marriage cert. as long as ma establish thru the paper works na acct mo yun should be fine. The agency will tell you if ok yun docs o Hindi.

mga sis yung itinerary an hinihingi kailangan ba super detailed and kailangan may contact number?

Yun ITI ko copied from a friend. Super oc siya kaya super detailed. Though some sis say huwag masyado ma detalye, feeling ko mas maganda na may details like Kung 5 days kayo, san ka pupunta etc. I-link ng consul yun financials mo dun sa Gagarin mo. Kaya if d match yun bank balance mo vs yun ITI, Baka ma deny ka. Note Di na babalik yun mga doc including the NSO birth and marriage cert.

sa amin naman, hindi naman ganon ka detailed yun ginawa kong itinerary. actually wala pa nga akong nagawa. the agency told me to copy nalang the iti posted sa may door nila. eh super haba nung iti hindi din kasya sa paper provided nila pag icopy ko lahat. so i just simplified it. sa contact number i just wrote name ng hotel where we intend to stay.

^ thanks for the replies. We'll be submitting our application this Saturday, sana walang problem. Hindi kasama sa list of requirements yung photoocopy of previous visas/stamps pero isama ko na din. Para lang sure, we just renewed our passports and walang stamp or anything pa.

[fredprinz]

Hi Jenny,

OK lang kung dadalhin mo 'yung previous visas/stamps pero hindi rin kukunin ng agency since ang hihingin lang nila is 'yung required documents nila.

I brought my manager's authorization letter and previous passport pero di kinuha ng Friendship Tours when I applied for my visa.

We're flying this October, safe na mag-apply ng 1 month before no? Tsaka about bank cert, may minimum amount ba?

Sis ako plan namin sa April pa. May risk Lang if you apply too early na 90 days lang ibigay.  But may probability din na 1 yr. I was hoping 1 yr but got 5 yrs.

 Yun bank cert will be matched with your ITI. If puro expensive  yun mga point of int mo, tapos maliit Lang yun balance ng account, Baka ma deny ka. If limited yun savings, limit din yun ITI dun sa kaya Lang sa budget.

Mga sis I cant find my Old Passport. Dami pa naman asian trips ko andon pati isang Schengen Visa. Yun new passport ko kasi Schengen Visa lang meron eh. Kakarenew ko lang nung Sept. Ok lang ba yun?

s
Sis Per my reading the only reason the old passport is required is if your old passport has an old jap visa which you used in the past. Ie - you flew to Japan using the old visa this has expired.  This is required on your next renewal para you don't have to submit NSO certs again. Other than this, no reason to submit old passports. You can ask the agency. Mabait naman sila. Or when you submit your docs, bring the old passport. If not needed, they will return it to you immediately.

My visa is granted na even if I'm not working. Super kinabahan ako dun! I'm so happy to go back in Japan. ❤️ 

Ang bilis lang sa Discovery. Like after 2 days may result na. Eh we passed the requirements, closing time na ah. ☺️

[shygirlme]

Another question. Joint account kami ni fiance. Ok lang ba isang bank cert ipakita namin?

[fredprinz]

^Based dun sa requirements ng Friendship Tours (agency na sinubmitan ko), dapat isang bank statement per applicant.

Call your travel agency muna para sure:

Hello, any feedback sa Reli Tours? Also, we plan to submit our requirement sa January 27. Wala pa bagong ITR di ba, 2013 pa since kaka start pa lang ng 2015. Ok lang ba yung 2013 na ITR?

[shygirlme]

^2013 din papasa ko since yung 2014 sa feb pa daw available. Eh next week na kami mag apply

[fredprinz]

^I suggest submitting the ITR for 2013 and inform the agency na hindi pa released yung 2014 niyo.
