Got our 5 yr multiple visa today. Nagpunta kami sa UHI nung monday. Tuesday sinubmit ng agency sa embassy. Tapos kanina nagtext na we can claim our passports already. It was our first time. Super happy 

[airish_2]

^congrats! Diretso na kayo nag-apply ng multiple entry?

[annamarie88]

^yes. Kinakabahan nga ako kasi pinasign kami ng waiver! Haha si husband kasi ang kulit, nagtatanong kung pwede ba iwithdraw pag medyo matagal na. Kasi need nya passport. Sabi ko negative vibes agad tayo, baka madeny.

Hi sis may addl document ba kayo pinasa? Inggit sa 5 years ME. Sana kami din pagmagapply na kami next year.

Anong waiver sis? heheh.

[annamarie88]

^ang pinasa namin birthcerts, itr ni hubby, bdo & bpi bank certs, marriage contract, schedule of stay, letter of guarantee, multiple letter request form. Saka nagdagdag lang ako coe ni hubby, saka photocopy ng us & aus visa namin.

Yung waiver is kapag winithdraw namin maaga or nadelay labas ng passports, non refundable ang fees and hindi sila liable. Haha

[MS_JanDel]

^Thank you sis. Try din namin magsubmit ng COE, sana magqualify kami dun sa new ME visa category. heheh

I just got my visa from Friendship tours. Single entry 15 days but I couldn't be happier!

Originally dapat isponsor kami ng aunt ko who lives in Japam pero nahirapan siya magsecure ng requirements mula ng nagkatyphoon sa kanila so I just decided na ako na lang. I decided to go for Friendship tours para pwede ko bigay yung additional docs. What I passed:

1. Application form with picture
2. Schedule of Stay (5 days only in Nagoya na puro temples lang halos hehe)
3. Birth Certificate that I got this year
4. ITR (I was hired November last year lang so I just wrote an explanation letter and attached supporting documents)
5. Bank Certificate na kinabahan ako kasi ang baba ng adb

Supporting Documents:
1. COE with tenure in company, gross annual salary and details of my job
2. 2 of my latest payslips that I just printed from my email
3. A copy of my savings in Pagibig Fund. Eto yung mp2
4. Photocopy of my ID
5. Explanation letter
6. Two of my credit card statement of accounts. Tamang tama yung dating ng bago kong Citibank card na mas mataas credit limit kaysa sa bdo ko. But I included both.
7. New passport. I lost my passport this year na may tatak na ng used Korean visa and some stamps from previous travels kaya lumalabas na parang wala pako napupuntahan na kahit ano.

Passed all these Wednesday afternoon. Naghalfday ako from work and wala naman tao sa Friendship tours. The agent was friendly as well wishing me goodluck and wag daw ako kabahan since okay naman lahat ng docs ko.

Thursday- nagLbm nako sa kaba 

Friday - i received a text ng 530pm na pwede ko na claim yung passport ko

Saturday- papunta ko and kabang kaba ko. Tapos may kasabay ako 5 na magclaim din. Yung una tinawag approved tapos sunod sunod na denied so kinabahan na ko. Ayun nung ako na tinawag, nakaopen na sa page na may visa and nakangiti sakin yung agent and kinongratulate ako. Huhuhu sobrang nastress ako dito. Mas nastress ako dito kaysa ng kumuha kami ng Korean and Taiwan visa
  pero sobrang thankful ako kay God kasi dream talaga ang Japan. Good luck sa mga magaapply!

Hi! How much is your ADB and total balance? I'll be applying this week or the next pero anxious ako kasi Yung ADB ko is around 55k lang. Pero yung total balance ko nasa 100k na coz nagdeposit ako recetnly. TIA!

[snix]

Your adb is better than mine haha. My bank account had 71k and yung adb is 9k lang. Hindi kasi ito yung main savings account ko so pinagsamasama ko yung lahat ng money from my bank account into my oldest bank account. Luckily, nakapasa naman.

What's your bank account ba? I read sa pinoy exchange, yung bdo wala daw adb as well as eastwest. Bpi and metrobank are much more detailed with their bank certs.

mine is BPI did you submit bank cert for one account lang? how lang was your stay pala? i heard yung ideal is 10,000 x number of days in JP. I know someone na naa-approve yung Visa with only 90k in his acct and he's staying for 9 days. Haha medyo praning lang ako kasi malapit na yung trip namin.

[berryprincessy]

Mga sis sa Nov. 7 na flight namin ni hubby. magapply pa lang kami ng visa. patulong naman po kasi ako lang ang employed at hindi naman super laki ng income. wala kasi mapapasa na docs si hubby regarding sa business.

Profile ni hubby:

1. May dati siya computer shop pero closed na. may ITR siya na-under pa din sa compshop niya pero finafile lang namin sa BIR but walang income stated kasi closed na. hindi namin masara kasi dami hinihingi ng BIR.
2. May paupahan siya pero hindi pa nakaregister pero may mga lease of contract siya.
3. sakanya nakapangalan yung lupa at bahay and may car kami.

ano pa kaya pwede isubmit na documents? TIA

[airish_2]

^Usually kung sino yung may income ang mag guarantee sa wala. Since ikaw yung may work and may itr na ipapakita ikaw na magguarantee kay husband, pakita niyo din yung bank certificate niyo. Kailangan niyo kasi i-prove na kaya niyo yung expense niyo pagdating doon.

[berryprincessy]

^thanks, sis. may kailangan pa ba ako ipasa ng docs niya? and kailangan ba sa application namin meron na kami place to stay? TIA

[airish_2]

Sa iba kahit wala ng hotel booking at plane ticket pero pwede mo i-add, sa amin kasi hindi ko na napasa pero okay naman nabigyan kami visa, si Reli tours lang naman ata ang ayaw sa extra docu.

Yes one bank cert lang from Security Bank. I deposited it all there. Last time walang nakalagay na adb nung first time na balak ko kumuha ng visa nagulat ako meron na ngayon. I'm staying for 10 days but nilagay ko sa application ko is 5 days lang and yung itinerary na pinass ko is puro temples lang halos hehe tapos Nagoya which isn't as expensive as Tokyo. Anyway goodluck!

[simang]

May kilala ako 20k lang laman ng account, naapprove. Solo traveler to. Yung isa naman nasa less than 100k, family of 3. Napprove din. Medyo maluwag si JP embassy lately, kaya sulitin na, hehe!

[minnie99]

I can attest that 10k per day of stay is not a minimum. My friend did not have 80k in his bank account when he applied for a visa in 2016 for an 8-day trip, and he got a visa. But yeah, if you want to be sure, and if you can, 10k per day would be great as bank balance. haha

[berryprincessy]

mga sis salamat sa mga sumagot ng queries ko. pero ask ko na lang din dun sa schedule of stay kailangan ba kasama sa iti yung pati lunch? tska mga oras san pupunta? TIA

[simang]

^hindi kelangan ng specific details sis, kahit template/draft lang. let's say Day 1 Asakusa; Day 2 Disneyland, something like that. Ganyan lang sinubmit namin.

[berryprincessy]

^thanks sis. akala ko kasi pati oras ng lunch at kung ano ano eh ilalagay pa. hehe. magtatry na ko to apply next week kasi Nov 7 ang flight namin. may suggest po ba kayo na travel agency? okay lang ba na walang sagot yung part ng saan kami magstay sa application form? TIA
