[glacy_rein]

Pasubscribe mga sis.. September pa trip namin. When do I need to start applying for visa?

sis not more than 60days pala! so 2months



kabado din ako.. halo kasi ng first time then second time.. sana ME and may news na bukas. crossing fingers

[blackgreen]

^sis yun not more than 60 days, kung ang flight namin pabalik is November 8 dapat ang earliest ko makapag apply ng visa September 9?

[simang]

Ang alam ko 3 months ang min validity ng Japan visa. Ako kase dati october yung travel ko, august may visa na ko. Tas nakalagay naman dun until kelan valid.

[blackgreen]

^ohh!! Thanks sis. September na lang ako apply to be sure and ask na lang din ako sa travel agency.

[eveelicious]

hi mga sis, kailngan ba at least 6 months valid ang passport for the visa application? pano kung valid until August pa yung validity ng passport pero month of May naman ang travel period?

[Rezzia]

Hi tanong ko lang, akala ko Visa free na tayo to Japan?

[simang]

^^hi sis. Pag mag aapply ka pa lang ng visa, as long as valid ang passport mo okay lang. But if lalabas ka na mismo ng county, kelangan at least 6 months valid.

Yung passport ko was about to expire october last year. Since nakaschedule ako mag apply ng visa ng august nirenew ko na lang sya before mag apply ng visa, pero sinama ko old passport ko. Para lang diredirecho na and di ko na iisipin renewal ng passport ko. Also, at least yung visa ko nasa new passport na.

^all those news on visa-free Japan are hoax. Although, maluwag talaga ang japanese embassy lately sa pagbigay ng visa. Parang wala pa kong nabalitaan na nadeny recently.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ not visa-free. But free visa, walang bayad. We only pay for the agency fees, afaik.

^^^ I think it has to be valid for 6 months from the date of travel. If May 2015 ang travel, passport must be valid until Novembe 2015.

[ayami]

April yung trip ko and valid until November 2015 yung passport ko. Sakto lang kasi 7 months before yun. Nakakakuha naman ako ng visa.

[glacy_rein]

^but you won't be allowed to leave the country sis kapag below 6mos ang validity. Believe us - naiwan pa ako dahil hindi umabot na lumabas passport ko before the scheduled departure... And yes valid padin ang visa kahit nasa lumang passport pa, as far as I know..

[glacy_rein]

got our visas today after 3 working days. Multiple entry yipee!!

[ayami]

November 17, 2015 expiry nung akin. April 10 flight ko. Swak lang talaga. April 17 sya papaso. April 13 ang balik ko sa Pinas.

[glacy_rein]

^sakto nga sis bago mag renew ng passport. same day tayo ng flight April 10

[summer888]

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.

sis, paano yung summary of previous travels? wala naman kaseng nakasulat dun sa application form na previous travels?  yun husband ko kase need na magpalit ng passport before we apply japanese visa. eh nabasa ko ayaw pasama ng travel agency yung old passport unless my dati kang japanese visa. iniisip ko kase siguro naman kahit papano may weight ang previous travels from other countries with visa rin including US visa. thanks.

[glacy_rein]

^sis walang past travels na hinihingi pero if may past VISA'S na naka-attach sa lumang passport pede mo attach yung old passport sa new passport by a rubber-band.

Sa discovery ok lang kahit may old passport, I did this before sa application ng ate ko nung first time namen and JP Embassy now really gives Multiple Entry kahit first timer applicant kahit walang letter.

[simang]

Sinama ko old passport ko nung nag apply ako for Japan visa. Andun kase yung ibang visas ko.

[sonia62]

Mga sis magaapply din kami ng visa ni hubby. Housewife ako at si hubby gagastos sa trip pero joint ang bank account namin. Ok lang ba yun? Saka sa letter of explanation ba sasabihin na si hubby ang gagastos?

@simang sis kinuha nila old passport mo? Bakit kaya yung iba sinosoli? I also plan to attach our old passports sa new passport kasi nandun us and korea visa. San ka nagapply?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sis, I'm a stay-at-home wife din. We only submitted husband's bank certificate. Wala na kami binigay na letter, understood naman na na si hubby gagastos for the trip.

[dooonna]

Mga sis magaapply din kami ng visa ni hubby. Housewife ako at si hubby gagastos sa trip pero joint ang bank account namin. Ok lang ba yun? Saka sa letter of explanation ba sasabihin na si hubby ang gagastos?

Okay lang 'yun sis Ganito ginawa ko for my parents. I only submitted their orig marriage certificate pero kasi may affidavit of support kasi buong family 'yung sponsor ng dad ko, not sure lang if couple lang

i just made a table listing down all the countries we've been to and the dates. i forgot to make photocopies of the visas but it was fine. also, the discovery agent made me remove the old passport even though i attached it to my new one.
