Finally! This is very helpful po. Planning to apply Japan visa with my friend. Pwd po ba like 4 days itinerary yong sa application mo pero 1 week yong actual schedule namin sa Japan. Hindi po ba ilalagay sa visa mo yong 4 days na yon at anong date? Just curious lang po baka magkaproblema sa immigration Q&A..hehe, Thanks po ng marami.

[@jenpacganern]

Yes that's what I did. Declared 4 days in application. Once granted - they will allow single entry of at least 14 days. So as long as you got approved, good to proceed with 1 week plan na po. They will not put the # of days declared during application because the standard number of days granted if single entry is 14 days.

[@jenpacganern]

Immigration will not ask about the days you declared sa application it is none of their business. What's important for them is you have the approved visa na when you face them. Mention nyo kung ilang days kayo mag stay that will match the days you will return to the Philippines

OR you can go to the office, ask for the list and other forms that you need to fill out and come back when you have everything for submission na, all you have to do is to pay the fee and get the receipt, and wait for their text and call for pick up

Hello. Quick question. I have a guarantor and nag send siya ng picture ng ITR and ng letter of guarantee niya. Pwede lng ba i scan yung pictures or kailangan ba talaga na original na copy talaga at hindi scanned ang ipakita? Parang dito nlng ako stuck. Processing with my agency next week :) Wish me luck. 😅

[@jenpacganern]

I didn't have a guarantor so I can't answer that. It'd be best to reach out to your agency of choice for this, prior to submitting your requirements so they can address whether or not pwede scanned copies or if original is needed

[@skyis-wr1yb]

Hello Po, Thanky ou po for sharing ^_^. Can I ask a question po, I'm planning to Visit Japan po. But First time ko po to travel internationally. I quit my job po two years ago pero may sufficient money naman po ako sa bank na ipon , around 300k+ po with employed years ITR though not recent. I don't have an updated ITR, peru I'd like to stay po for about 2 weeks in Japan as a Tourist at I'll be staying po at my Japanese friends house at may na book na po akong ticket. May nag advice po sa akin na , kapag first-time much better po daw 4-7days ang ilagay ko sa length of intended stay' at Hotel place not sa friend ko daw po.. sa pag apply ng VISA... Ok lang po ba yon? kahit in reality 12 days talaga?,, ok lang po ba kahit hindi magtugma yung info sa Visa application sa Actuality ? I'm worried po kasi baka ma deny. Any advice po? It would help so much. Thank you po.

[@jenpacganern]

Hello yes - ok lang na 4-7 days ang itinerary mo kahit in actual 12 days. I suggest since it's your first time to declare 4 days with mostly free attractions or places in your itinerary. They are not going to ask a copy of your flight ticket so no worries if in actual counting iba yung number of days. Also - I suggest na maghotel ka kasi may additional documents pa like invitation letter etc na will be asked. Immigration officers in the PH are strict and will ask confirmed booking of hotel and since it's your first time - mejo red flag if "makikistay" ka sa Japanese friend mo and 2 weeks pa at that... Red flag lang for me is - since you quit your job 2 years ago, what was your source of income? You have to show or prove na may steady flow of money ka... Like business, etc. Questionable sa embassy how you get your finances despite not working anymore. Again not unless may other source of income ka - much better getting documents to prove it. At the end of the day - mag depend talaga ang approval sa nag hahandle ng application mo. God Bless

@@skyis-wr1yb You don't have to book a hotel early po. Usually, visa applications don't ask for hotel bookings. But you need to write down the name of the hotel you want on the application form as well as indicate the hotel name sa travel itinerary. Once you are approved - you can feel. free to proceed with booking them or booking another hotel.

Hi! Didn't they ask you why you didn't register as freelancer at BIR? Aren't all freelancers required to pay taxes regardless of who or where their clients are?

[@jenpacganern]

No questions asked. The embassy already knows the existence of Freelancers without an ITR. The requirements I submitted are requirements that granted me a tourist visa which are also requirements asked by the embassy. I'm not sure if you watched my entire video given how long it was - but not all freelancers are ready to pay taxes due to the inconsistent flow of our income. In my case - I am working on getting registered for BIR as I gear up to travel to other countries that needs a visa. 😊
