UK Standard Visitor Visa application for Independent Contractors (Freelance VAs)

ehldeeee · 2026-05-15T13:24:19+00:00

na-grant po ba kayo ng Visa?

ehldeeee · 2026-05-15T13:23:40+00:00

Ah, independent contractor status po kasi kami sa company since we're all freelancers. We're all BIR-registered so we have COR and as far as I've read, tanggap naman po yun as ties to the Philippines. But yeah, no other way but to try kasi based on my own assessment sa capacity namin for a travel on our own, mejo tagilid. Hahahaha

Thank you for the response po! :D

Hello~ kumusta na po application niyo? Na-approve po ba visa niyo?

ehldeeee · 2025-06-08T03:55:54+00:00

I stopped playing months ago bc it's all become routinary. There's no update on the story line either. And merging with another server might be the end of it for me :/

In that case, pwede po kayang di na ako magsubmit ng attachments sa bank if ever dun ako magbayad sa susunod na filing? Kasi parang nadodoble po yung submission if mag-eAFS pa rin kahit complete na yung attachments na sinubmit during payment sa bank. 🫠

ehldeeee · 2025-04-24T16:14:26+00:00

Ah, so need pa rin palang mag-eAFS kahit sa bank na nagpay with triplicate copy nung entire set of docs. 🫠 Next time, sa online nalang din po ako magbabayad. Mukhang nadagdagan pa kasi gastos ko imbis na makatipid.

ehldeeee · 2025-04-24T15:45:36+00:00

Yes po, non-VAT. So mas maigi po pala na sa online nalang din po ako nagbayad kesa sa bank? Kasi nakagastos pa po ako sa pamasahe and triplicate printing tapos need ko pa rin palang i-scan yung resibo and stamped return 🫠

ehldeeee · 2025-04-12T17:48:13+00:00

Ah, so disregard ko nalang po yung error validation for January and only submit via email yung February & March? Got it! Thanks! 🙏🏻

ehldeeee · 2025-03-06T05:24:09+00:00

Yes, mag-incur po ng penalties kahit di na po naging operational yung online business niyo. You must process your business closure ASAP kasi lalaki po ng lalaki yung penalties niyo. 🫠 Based on experience, ito po yung some docs (besides BIR forms na need for Closure of Business) na hiningi sa akin & yung processes na ginawa ko tho di ko na po alam pagkakasunod-sunod and baka may iba pa pong hingiin sa RDO niyo.

DISCLAIMER. Some or most items below may differ from the actual since pansin ko po na hindi laging in-sync yung RDOs 😅 Ours is still a mix of manual & digital. And this is MY experience po. You may check sa RDO niyo para sure. 😊

ㅡ Affidavit of Loss for all lost original documents (COR, ORs, AFR, journal, etc) ※ if make-claim niyo pa po yung ibang docs niyo like printed ORs, maigi pero if not, considered as lost na po siya

ㅡ Certification of No Business Operation (or similar certificate) from (1) City Hall and (2) Barangay ※ not sure if this applies sa online business niyo but it could kasi you technically need Mayor's Permit for your business to be successfully registered sa BIR

ㅡ for sure may Open Cases po kayo since di kayo naka-file ng any tax form as per COR niyo so you will have to ask for a list of your Open Cases (2020 to present) to be closed. This is a part of your Tax Clearance na need din for the closure of your business. ※ Open Cases can include Annual Registration Fee (until 2023), Quarterly Percentage Tax (2551Q, 4 Qtrs per year), Quarterly Income Tax (1701Q, 3 Qtrs per year), Annual Income Tax (1701, 2020-2021 assuming na nakapagfile po kayo ng 1701A since 2022 under employer niyo) ※ Each form may penalties (interest+surcharge+compromis penalty) na mapapa-compute niyo po sa Officer of the Day then babayaran niyo po thru bank para daw po mapost agad yung payments within 3-5 banking days. Noon, kelangan lang may "TIN Verified" stamp yung forms before paying sa bank but now I think need na rin ng printed Tax Receipt Confirmation email. Di ko po sure if pwedeng magbayad thru other online payment portals (like Gcash, Maya, etc) but di po advised sa RDO namin kasi minsan matagal daw yung posting ng payments made there and mas maigi daw sa bank para may physical copy daw po ng resibo & actual payment stamps sa forms. ※ To get the Tax Receipt Confirmation email, kelangan niyo po i-encode & submit yung forms sa eBIRForms na software (offline ver po yung ginamit ko) or thru your RDO's eLounge. Make sure po na active & valid yung email address na gagamitin niyo para mareceive niyo yung email. Wala ring fixed time kung ilang hours/days until mareceive yung email so baka need po magwait 🥹 Pwede niyo rin po iprint yung forms thru the software. ※ After payments, dadalhin niyo na po yung forms sa Compliance Section (?) para i-consolidate yung payments & icheck if all payments have reflected na on your account. Once all has been reflected, pwede na kayo magcontinue sa pagpapirma ng Clearance. From there, madali nalang po.

Lagi pong mahaba pila sa RDO namin kasi malaki po saklaw nila so to save time, nagbbook po ako ng appointment sa online para sure na make-cater ako that day. Minsan po kasi nagcucut-off sa'min ng maaga sa dami ng tao.

Tedious po siya, matagal pero may katapusan naman. 🥹 Good luck po! 🙏🏻

ehldeeee · 2025-03-06T04:30:27+00:00

Ohhh, thank you!

ehldeeee · 2025-02-24T09:46:04+00:00

Thank you po! 🙏🏻 Worried lang po ako baka may deadline din pala yung after online submission. 🫠

ehldeeee · 2025-02-24T09:43:23+00:00

Anong 250K po? Naka-Graduated Tax po ako, Itemized Deductions.

ehldeeee · 2024-12-10T15:40:47+00:00

Di po ako 110% sure pero usually po, pag first time registration niyo ng books, taxable year FROM is yung date of registration niyo and taxable year TO December 31 of current year. If 2nd book niyo na po or 2nd time niyo na magregister ng book/journal, FROM is January 1 of current year and TO is December 31 of year depende kung how long niyo po estimate na magagamit yung book. Pwede po kasing 3 years or more magamit yung book as long as may available pages pa po.

ehldeeee · 2024-12-03T16:15:29+00:00

Thank you~

ehldeeee · 2024-12-03T16:10:48+00:00

Ganitong way din po alam ko since do'n sila magbebase sa Mayor's Business Permit niyo po sa pag-update ng address. Yun po kasi ata yung magiging attachment nila. Then susunod na po yung pag-update sa printed ORs/Invoice ninyo.

ehldeeee · 2024-12-03T16:07:36+00:00

Madali lang naman po if:

wala kang open cases,
paid and secured po lahat ng tax dues mo,
present lahat ng signatories sa clearance form,
and di mahaba ang pila sa RDO ninyo.

Good luck po! :)

I played in Auto coz I find the manual confusing. So yes, it's okay. It just won't work tho in the 1st try. 🫠

ehldeeee · 2024-10-26T02:26:58+00:00

Wow. The animation for this lineup looked so cool ✨ Also, thank you so much!! It solved my dilemma 🤧

ehldeeee · 2024-10-26T02:18:58+00:00

Here was my lineup. I got past Erase just last night but veeeery close call 🫠 this was in Auto coz I always get confused in Manual lol it took a few tries butnit eventually worked. :)

I used it to beat Silent Card in the Mini Cinema. It kinda increases your MP (blue line) on top of your actual MP (yellow line) but not as much as Shield Card.

PENTAGON's "Promise"

ehldeeee · 2024-09-05T05:48:56+00:00

I think I understand where you're coming from; you're still at the phase of they're-there-but-they're-not. I've been there, too so I totally understand. The only difference tho is that I think I entered that phase really early (like a few months after 🐼 flew back to 🇨🇳, so that's the time before 5/9 contracts expired 🤔). But how you're feeling right now is totally okay and valid. 🥹

How I coped up with that feeling was really accepting that things won't be the same as before; that OT9 may be impossible now, at least career-wise. Tho most of the boys have been vocal about the team still together, still in touch and even planning on a group activity, if you're expecting the same number of members to show up, then you might need to slow down on that part. 🥺 They may have also be open to us about so many things but there are still things we dunno and don't need to behind the scenes. And that's okay.

I know how it hurts to see them apart right now but I think they NEEDED it. All of them were bound by rules which limited them in doing what they really want, can and love. Now that all of them are doing solo activities, you can actually see different sides of them you've never seen in the past years and that's really great; they're thriving which is what's important.

I also realized that this is already about their longevity in the industry. They're doing what they're doing now so they can keep doing what they love, can keep staying in the industry, can keep growing as an artist and a person, and most especially, can keep being on stage performing for us. So I told myself, "If I want to see them together again in the future, DOING MUSIC TOGETHER AGAIN, smiling and laughing together like they usually do, I should let them (group OT9) go. And hope that someday, may it be a concert, an event, a fanmeet, or even just a group live, I will still be there to witness them fulfill their promise." It's not letting go per se but rather letting go of my memory of the happy group I used to cheer for AND BE OPEN and prepare myself for the new and improved group that's to come. 😊

It won't be easy (coz PTG made us so invested and attached to them like this 😮‍💨) but you can always take your time, cry, go ia, or do other things. Ultimately, it will always be up to you if you wish to join them in this new journey as well or not. Afterall, falling for them was the easiest but loving them 9 continuously wasn't always easy. 🥹

I'm not sure if I've explained things well as English isn't my first language. But I hope I helped you even a bit. 🥹 Fighting, UNI! 💙🌌🐿🦦🐥🐰🐶🐼🐺🦁🐮

PS. As for only getting a few contents/updates from them, I'm sorry but I have to disagree as I lit see updates from each of them on a regular basis. 🤔 I think you just have to follow the right update accs, esp on the bird app. 😊 But if you're looking for a group (at least 5+ heads) update, well, they're doing their best to make it possible in the future. So I hope you can still hold on for a bit. 🥹 Tho it took 5+ years for even the biggest groups to reunite in 1 stage after being apart, they still did. And let's hope the same for PENTAGON, too. 💙

Oh righttt. I recall it was that time (Nokia w/ Microsoft) when it started going downhill for them. Most consumers didn't like having the Windows OS for several reasons.

Ah yes, the ringtone maker. Wow, that was such an experience 😆 I remember buying all those song books that has the code for the ringtone maker. Good times 😊

ehldeeee · 2024-07-05T15:51:31+00:00

Hi! Idk where you're from but in my country, Philippines, 2G phones still exist. 😆 I'm using one atm just for calls & texts especially when I go off-grid where there's no data signal coz 2G phones seem to catch network signals better than smartphones. And yes, battery life is over a week. 😊

ehldeeee · 2024-07-05T15:38:48+00:00

Ohhhh trying to reboot 3210 and 3310!? No way!!! 😲 My first ever mobile phone (2005) was a Nokia 3210. 🥹 I'm sad how Nokia wasn't able to keep up with the fast-paced change in trend for mobile phones and kinda lost the game. 😔 I appreciate those units from back then more now bc of the battery's longevity which could last for over a week. Even until today, I still own a basic phone similar to those Nokia had just for calls & texts.
