Japan Thread 4

[MS_JanDel]

Has anyone recently applied for a ME Visa using the qualifications of the relaxed visa policy? i.e. Lawyer, CPA, Doctor etc. Kamusta? Naapprove ba?

[minnie99]

My bf is an engineer but he still got single entry. He's already been to japan twice. Not sure if Engineers are included in that new relaxed ME visa policy.

Sa mga madalas mag travel sa Japan pwede po malaman kung ano ang mga budget airlines ng Japan na may route sa Philippines? Example sa korea Jeju air

[airish_2]

Jetstar, Cebu Pacific, Scoot at Vanilla Air pero yung Vanilla Air Cebu-Tokyo lang walang Manila. Yan yung mga low cost airline

Parang hindi pa sila kasama sis. CPA, Lawyer, Doctor, Professors and Artists ang nabasa ko. Per thank you pa din sis. Siguro submit nalang kami normal application.

Applied yesterday at reli tours megamall.
We are family of 3.

We submitted one bank cert, marriage contract, birth cert of each, coe, copy of credit card bill, cert of enrollment for my daughter, guarantee letter for my daughter.

New ang passport ni hubby di na kinuha ang luma to show proof previous travels and ME na korean visa. Sabi nung nag-assist wala daw bearing ang korean visa.

I was trying to apply ME using yung relaxed policy kasi cpa si hubby. Pero tinanong ako if may aattend daw ba na seminar o conference. E wala naman. Sabi ko akala ko kapag licensed eligible to apply for ME. 1st time namin sa japan if ever and in-advise nya na mag-SE application na lang daw muna kami kasi medyo strict na daw ang embassy. Mukhang hindi pa malinaw itong relaxed policy na ito. I don't know if sa ibang agency e ganyan din ang understanding. Gusto ko pa naman talaga mag-apply ng ME dahil may plan talaga ako bumalik. Kasi sa nabasa ko unlike before ang nirereview na lang daw na if eligible for ME e yung nagrequest na lang. Sana pumasa na lang din for SE kesa ma-deny. Meron po ba dito na nag-apply recently na kahit di nagrequest e nabigyan ng ME?

I have been to Japan in 2015, got single entry. Then I applied for a multiple entry last 2017 because I visited Tokyo again, got approved naman for ME for 5 years. Sa Discovery Tours ako nag-aaply lagi.

Hello! Question lang po. Re ITR, I recently changed jobs and only started working at my current company last April so I don't have yet an ITR for this year. Should I present my ITR last year ( different company) or should I just write a letter of explanation? I plan to submit a COE and my Certificate of Creditable Tax Withheld At Source ( Form 2307).

Thank you in advance!

Hmmm...okay naman. Medyo maluwag pa nga. Sayang of 7 days sana kaya para masulit niyo ang JR Pass na good for 7 days.  But you can also use it naman since mag Nagoya pala kayo and Nikko. But why don't you also try visiting Osaka and Kyoto kahit one day lang sa Osaka and day tour sa Kyoto?

Just consider taking a taxi or hire a van. Tokyo trains are not child or disabled friendly.

Mga sis question regarding itr. Pumasok ako sa bagong company ng november last year. ng nagrequest ako ng itr this year for visa requirements sabi nila wala pa daw since late ako pumasok last year. Ipepresent ko ba yung itr ko from my past company dated 2017 or magexplanation letter na lang ako?

I think your itinerary is just about right, lalo na with a big group.

Can't comment for: Imperial Palace + Ameyoko (haven't been on these places)

Medyo packed yung Matsumoto + Nabana No Sato.
How are you traveling to Matsumoto? Tokyo -> Matsumoto -> Nagoya? Parang mas makakamura by that route para hindi balikan. Have your luggage forwarded from Tokyo to your hotel in Nagoya para hindi nyo na dala-dala.

If you take into consideration yung oras, almost 2 hrs and 30mins Tokyo to Matsumoto, then 2 hours travel time from Matsumoto back to Nagoya, tapos another 1hour to get to Nabana No Sato. Alanganin ako dito pag big group.

If you're aiming lang for the light tunnel, okay na to get there around 5pmish? But if papasok kayo ng Begonia Garden (which I recommend, be there by 4pm--but please research until what time sila open this year)

Not sure which pass na masusulit for your itinerary.

HTH!

Mag explanation letter ka na lang. That's what I did since January this year lang ako nagstart sa present company. I submitted COE + letter of explanation why I don't have my current ITR.

Got our visas na, approved! Single entry pero first lang namin na punta sa Japan yung sa October.

Mabilis nga lang visa processing - Tuesday kami nag-apply, Thursday got our Visas na..

So after the confirmed Visa, I purchased our JR Pass na.

[MS_JanDel]
