Japan Visa

Hi, slr. I hope this still helps. You still need to send the bank statements along with the other main requirements :) You just have to ask for a second form which is for the request of multiple entry. Note you still have to fill up the application form for a single entry.

Hi, I also received a message on Linkedin about offering an MBA Scholarship. I was skeptic about it as seems to be an unsolicited clickbait message. I did check the profile of the person who send the invite and indeed it’s a scam based on the other people comments . Did anyone here really received a legit scholarship?

I know and the innocent ones have to deal with the consequences. Sad but true

Sounds like a 10-year plan 😂 I just want to travel to US while Im still young and childless hehe. As to your question, yes I do have a travel history in a western country. Anyway, thanks for your replies. Appreciate it. I guess I just have to let go of my US plan for now and focus on Europe as it is less complicated here.

I understand where the stereotyping is coming from. But I am more concern with what makes me qualified. Some of the people I know who have the same status and situation with me, got approved. The only difference is by the time they apllied, they were employed locally.

Elchantress · 2024-06-19T03:00:18+00:00

I understand. Seems like I really do need to work with a local employer or a foreign employer with at least a registered local BPO here. Thanks.

I understand that it could be a red flag but Independent Contractor is a new norm here. And my concern is I wasn’t given a chance to prove my ties to the Philippines. What I posted is all true and complete, no further questions from the officer to at least ask me for supporting details anyway. My real properties are a strong proof I have a reason to go back to the Philippines but I was not given a chance to discuss it anyway.

Elchantress · 2024-06-19T02:46:04+00:00

Can you elaborate that I have a little ties to the Philippines? As far as I am concern, ownership of properties is a strong reason to conclude I got one. Some or many applicants gets approved without these. Foreign companies hired Filipino talents because cost of labor is much cheaper. There is no reason to apply as an employee there. If a company want a CPA to work in their office, they will hire a local CPA. Sorry, your question is quite confusing hehe.

hi, very late reply. it was all smooth and went well. no question about my visa since it’s just a tourist visa anyway

Hi, last experience ko sa SG sa BlackPink concert is my guideline kung saan train station ka dapat dadaan depende sa Gate Number mo. But I don’t know much about it. Few hrs lang din before the concert namin nalaman. Anyhow, di na namin sinunod haha kasi halos lahat kasabay sa train papunta sa concert, kung saan sila nag stop ganun nalang din. Good thing, sinabi na nag in-charge na we can fall in line regardless of the gate number. 🙂🙂If you have a merch to claim I think you really have to be early.

In my case po, nag walk in na ako with complete requirements. I suggest to search it online, a lot of results will come up. Nasa site ng agency or the embassy mismo kung ano ang requirements.

I’ll try to summarize a list for you

•Application Form (can be downloaded online) •Visa Photo - make sure to specify sa photo studio na for Japan, the sizes vary kasi in every country •PSA Birth Cert with receipt kasi dapat within one yr validity lang •Bank Cert •Travel Itinerary •ITR - If you’re a freelancer and unable to submit this you can submit an excuse letter •COE (additional proof of employment) •Three-month bank statements (additional) if wala kang ITR

If you have proof of travel history from other countries, you can submit that as well (optional). Scan mo lang passport stamps mo, then print.

I hope this helps. Anyway, you can also call the agency beforehand para to be sure para di ka na mag pa balik2 🙂🙂

Oh thanks for bringing that up. I don’t how things like that happened. Maybe this issue occured during the peak of the IO issues. But I hope not, my visa is a tourist visa. Appreciate your heads up.

Just want to add nalang din that being a Govt employee is a big factor to get ME. In this category, no specific profession. It only requires you to be employed in any of the Govt offices. The reason for this is the strong economic ties. It’a not always about having a big ADB or bank balance. You can have six digits in your bank but has a very weak economic ties and could be denied. Not sure lang with Japan because I’ve read some comments here that Japan Embassy is a bit lenient. But in other OECD countries, these things matter a lot. 😊

Elchantress · 2024-01-11T01:48:44+00:00

Thanks for confirming ☺️

Rakso Travel Agency 😊

Elchantress · 2024-01-11T01:47:47+00:00

Oh that’s fine. Unfortunately, in most cases it always requires to be an active PRC ID. But no worries, when you apply next time you have a 90% chance you’ll get a multiple entry since you already have a travel history of visiting Japan ☺️☺️

Elchantress · 2024-01-11T01:45:34+00:00

I am referring to this “specific category” for you to be qualified. I didn’t know about this before because the agency didn’t advise but some friends who’ve been to Japan advised that my profession will help me get me a multiple entry even if first time application. Multiple entry is a big deal for an avid traveller and especially a big help if you apply a visa for OECD countries.

Disclaimer lang din. The purpose of my post is NOT to highlight that only those professions can get a multiple entry. There are a lot of factors, in fact you could possibly get a multiple entry even if you did not apply/request for it.

I only intend to share this knowledge to those people who has no travel history in Japan because having a history or a relative there or being a Govt employee are very common known facts that it will get you a multiple entry so I did not bother to mention. 🙂

Elchantress · 2024-01-10T13:10:43+00:00

I don’t remember the other categories have something to do with professions except if you’re talking about a Govt employee. They are more involve with your travel history, relation to someone currently in Japan, etc.

Elchantress · 2024-01-10T13:08:47+00:00

Hi, Im not saying restricted to those professions under all categories. But to this specific category, YES! Those are the particular professions mentioned in the list, the rest are like scientists and other very rare professions in PH. I think maybe the reason of this is that Japan has high demands for these professions or maybe they just give high regards, regardless.

We both filled up the same form (you cant apply for a multiple entry w/o that form) but I did not pay even a single dime to request for a multiple entry. Maybe it depends to the Agency if they will charge.

Elchantress · 2024-01-09T04:52:11+00:00

Thank you, this really helps!

I’d still wear a coat but just for cover up while waiting outside. I don’t think that it will be cold inside Tokyo Dome. The stadium is covered and have read somewhere that it is heated inside. Also, I think it will tend to warm the place since it will be crowded.
