[bagaholic_chewy]

I think wala naman issue sa visa approval kung 7digits man or 5digits lang ang nasa bank account, as long as believable or consistent sya sa profile ng applicant.

[glacy_rein]

^yes, kailangan kapani-paniwala na kaya mo i-earn yun and if you travel regularly naman very small ang chance to be denied.

^^sis swerte yung iba na kahit walang ME letter eh granted ng ME! looking forward din kame pagpasa namen next next week

[bagaholic_chewy]

Wala din kami binigay na letter requesting for ME. Pero what I did, I submitted itineraries for 2 trips, one for spring this year and another 1 for latter part of the year. So gets na siguro nila yun, na kelangan namin ng ME kaya ME binigay. Hahaha!

Edited to add:
30 days per stay ang binigay sa amin. 2nd JP visa namin to ni hubby, 1st naman for our baby.

[paulavalerie]

got our visas earlier today from discovery, submitted requirements march 5. first time applicant for japan. passport was new so i submitted a summary of previous travels. they gave us 5 yrs multiple entry even though we didn't ask for it.

[krisel_06]

Mga sis, my cousin is planning to apply for japan visa kaya lang wala syang ITR since minimum wage earner lang sya, pano kaya yon?

[dooonna]

^I think may ITR kahit minimum wage earner Kasi ako naman mag 1 year pa lang sa work so wala pang tax kami last year pero meron akong ITR. Try niya mag ask sa hr. If wala talaga mag provide na lang ng explanation letter kung bakit wala

[fayxxx]

Just got back from my Japan trip! Super saya! I am planning to go back later this year, kaso single entry lang na-grant sakin.. Apply ulit! hehe

[rasee16]

[glacy_rein]

Yun friend ko nagtravel siya sa Japan last month 100k yun nasa bank niya, 8 days travel. Kami ni fiance 5 days travel, okay na rin siguro na 100k? Sana talaga ma-appprove kami pag nagapply na kami visa.

[shygirlme]

[blackgreen]

^yup sis, ganun din plano namin. Hahaha.. pero yun ibang wedding fund kasi nasa UITF so yun nasa savings lang pwede namin ipakita.

[cezy_18]

Hi!
My friend and I are finalizing our requirements and it's our first time to apply for a Japan Tourist visa. 

Sa mga nag-apply ng visa and of course completed the itinerary as a requirement, did you guys make hotel bookings prior in applying the visa? Nich-check ba ng Japan Embassy yun kung may booking talaga sa mga nakalagay sa itinerary or hindi naman?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ we applied without airline tickets nung 1st time namin. Nitong 2nd time, no airline tickets and wala din hotel bookings.

[ayami]

Di nila chinecheck sis. Agoda booking ginamit ko para lang may address pero dun sa Japanese friend ko ako makikitira talaga

[paulavalerie]

i got my visa yesterday and 15 days lang binigay lol

[cezy_18]

@bagaholic_chewy and @ayami
Ok thanks mga sis!

Kaloka lang ang agoda, mga niccheck naming hotels, mga not available huhu. Not sure if we need to contact the hotels directly para sa actualy booking tuloy.

Congrats sis paulavalerie! Ok na yan, basta may visa!
