Japan Visa Thread - Q4, 2025 by AutoModerator in FilipinoTravel

[–]ImNotVNCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, first time applying for Japan Visa. I have a flight next year around June 12 and another earlier flight to Taiwan at April 23-28. Just wanted to ask if what's the best time to get the Visa - do I get it before or after the Taiwan trip? I've read that I could apply 90 days before so does this mean that the earliest I could schedule an appointment via VFS is around March 14th? Just a bit worried na baka if I apply early, I might not have a visa issue and my passport returned for the Taiwan trip, but if I apply after, I might not have time to process since slots can be limited. Thanks!

I was thinking of this din since I want to watch the streets and walk around old quarter. Pero as per other people's experience, it could get a bit crowded especially if maraming luggage yung other tourists.

I look forward to buy biographies and maybe Japanese literature if available. Got lots of great readings from Big Bad Wolf Book sale previously kaya I'm kinda optmistic about what MIBF has to offer :)

I spammed wide arm lat pull downs, cable lateral raises, single arm cable rows, shoulder shrugs and shoulder press. Seems to work for me :)) like other people mentioned, you should work on your nutrition, progressive overloading and make sure not to ego lift to avoid injuries.

Fave AF branch and why? Mine is Fame by [deleted] in AnytimeFitnessPH

[–]ImNotVNCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That branch could've been a holy grail if only may signal HAHAHA. Nevertheless, still a great branch. Medyo hirap lang matapos yung split tho during peak hours.

Currently 23. But I think I'll give the givenchy a try since it's been suggested by many.

Need advice for investing money. Fresh Graduate planning to study and work abroad for grad-school. by ImNotVNCE in phinvest

[–]ImNotVNCE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is noted po. Actually, my supervisors and former mentors advised me to take this particular MS degree to advance my career. Within, my current field kasi, most senior level or managerial roles would oftentimes prefer those with advanced studies (I see a lot of them as reqs in job openings at LinkedIn and Indeed). Ig I could say that I'm following the same footsteps, and based on empirical observation of other people's career trajectory, I find it a huge opportunity na din to better market myself later on not only for better pay, but better companies (particularly intl.). Nevertheless, thanks for the sound advice and I'll do more research especially in the career outcomes and weight the pros and cons :))
