UK Visa

[Crissy]

Hi!mga Sis, my friend will send her letter of invitation for me next week to present sa visa application ko.  Question; Simple letter lang ba to be send tru mail or does it need to be notarized and adsress to embassy?

[sue323]

^addressed to the embassy. No need to have it notarized. Just attach it to your application form along with other documents.

tagal ko pala di naka-visit dito.. nway I got na din my UK Visa last January 180 days validity din, I was worried kasi before na sakto lang sa nakalagay sa itinerary like sa Schengen daw usually..

[Crissy]

^SIs Sunset Dream, where did you apply your visa? what do you mean nakalagay sa itinerary, dapat may specific itinerary e present?

[SunsetDream]

hi Crissy.. documents are submitted at the Visa Application Centre (VAC) of the British Embassy and the address is: VFS Services 6th Floor, Eco Plaza Building, Unit 606, 2305 Chino Roces Avenue Extension, Makati City, Manila.
Then they will be the one to forward it to the British Embassy for visa processing. 
Walang interview don except for a few questions in relation to the completeness of your docs lang, then biometrics na agad..

And yes, Itinerary is very important as it is one of the required documents.  Yung mismong itinerary ng tour ang sinubmit ko since i'll be travelling to Schengen states din, with London as the point of entry and end of tour. 
Ex:  March 1-5 London, March 6-10 Paris, etc.. (parang ganyan, then its much better to give details kung ano ano pupuntahan mo dun) You have to include pa nga hotel & flight bookings, but if you're going to stay with relatives you'll be needing letter of support from them stating that they will support your stay there.

hi i want to ask lang, ano ang pinaka cheap na UK flight ticket? as in ticket lang back and forth.kasi may british friend naman ako sa UK na pwede kong pag stay-an.and how much ginastos nyo for multiple visa?

and aside sa letter from my friend kelangan pa talaga ng bank statements?or pwedeng letter and passport lang?

thanks!

[jddrgn]

how much binayaran nila for airfare?any idea?

what if solo lang?i mean ako lang talaga, how much required nila na savings mo?

and yung hihingin ko ng letter of invitation is mag solo lang din.no parents and brothers, solo lang talaga siya.he doesn't have his own place meaning nag rerent siya ng house for years.meron naman bank account

mahirap kaya ma approve pag ganyan yung situation nung tutuluyan or hihingan ko ng letter of invitation?

[iwantsuperman]

[sydxoxo]

^a friend who travels to UK 3 to 4 times a year said at least 3 months before your departure date. i will renew my visa this June for my August trip.

Sa UK, they will look for your itenerary. Kasi I applied April13 wherein my visit will be on October 12 pa (6 months in advance) and they granted me 6 months from July to Jan 2012. The other visa, schengen must be 3 months before.

better if you have letter of invitation. documents from him like his employment papers, tax paid, bank statement niya sa UK.

[iwantsuperman]

tatanggapin pa kaya nila if it's less thn 3 months kasi still waiting for passport

[design21]

You mean you will apply and leave immidiately? Oo naman siguro. But It may take a while depending on the season.

hello,

I would like to apply for a uk visa. kaya lang i am leaving for europe this week and mag iistay ako dun ng more than 2 mos. i'm planning sana pumunta ng UK. pwede ba ko mag apply ng uk visa kahit wala ako sa manila? kasi if i'm going to apply ngaun pa lang, i think kulang na [textspeak!] time to process [textspeak!] visa application ko. And for requirements since lahat asa manila original pwede kayang scanned copies ang ipasa ko?

[mama squeak!]

^no you can't.

[monskie]

i wanna apply for a UK visa ..ano ba mga requirements mga sis.. any advice. will be travelling with my hubby.. housewife. 

thanks in advance

[mama squeak!]

^sis, backread ka as sis sysdxoxo already posted the requirement she submitted to the embassy.

 

[SunsetDream]

^ sis, first of all condolence sa nangyari..
everything is worth a try, if the ECO sees your sincerity e siguro magkaron naman sila ng konting puso na intindihin yung situation, although, you really have to prove to them that you're coming back, and I think it will help that you've been there and indeed came back and stayed there for just a month and did not consume all the 6 months validity of your visa..

and as for your brother and mom, try nyo pa rin just submit the complete requirements and other docs that will prove you guys can support your stay and will "not resort to public funds" na ika nga nila hehe

so tourist visa ang applyan nyo tama ba?

basta wag kayo mawalan ng pag asa sis, may awa ang Dyos :-)
take it from me, ako nga no travel experience before, ne hongkong di pa ko nakapunta, ang reason ko, Asia, although its a beautiful place, didn't really fascinate me, kanya kanya namang choice yun diba, yung iba kasi mag travel daw muna sa Asia para magkaron ng travel history..

good luck sis and God bless
