Approved Japan Visa: How to get a nod from Japan Embassy
Japan- the land of timeless culture and beauty which captivates many foreigners. But before one can step on the Land of the Rising Sun and breathe its air, he/she must secure an approved Japan Visa.
Last January, we were lucky to book a promo fare thru
Jetstar Airways with a whooping P15k all-in fare for my family of three. “Lakas
ng loob,” as I may say because that time, we didn’t even have passports and
even worse, 'show money'. So the next three months, we applied for passports, listed
down the places we want to visit, reserved hotels thru Booking.com and of
course, saved money.
May 26, Friday, we finally processed our visa thru ReliTours and Travel Agency in SM Megamall. We were entertained by a guy named Evan
who was really polite to receive our documents. These were the documents we
submitted:
-Birth Certificate (NSO)
-Marriage Certificate (one
copy for me and my husband)
-Certificate of Employment or any certification from your
company. I am a project or contractual employee and yet, I got my certification
indicating my employment duration.
-BIR FORM 2316 Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax
Withheld
-Completed Application form (we preferred to computerize and
print them out instead of a handwritten) with 2x2 picture (we had two sets of
Japan visa photo: one from Photoline and another from Picture City. We were not
satisfied with the Photoline pictures which were seemed not standardized. I suggest
that you’ll get the service of Picture City because they follow the size
requirement of Japan visa.)
-Bank Certificate (my husband and I have a joint bank
account which amounts to approximately Php 1xx,xxx. We only submitted one copy.)
-Guarantee form for minors (My husband has to sign as a guarantor
of our daughter. Reli tours will give you a form upon request.)
-Itinerary plan (one copy for the three of us)
I also brought our plane itinerary/ticket, Affidavit of
Support and photocopies of our IDs, but Evan told us that these were not
necessary. We only processed our visa for only 20 minutes and exit the office
with high hopes that our visa would be approved by Japan Embassy.
So this was the tough part-- waiting for the result. It was
really tormenting because I was really worried about our show money. I did
several researches and read different blogs about successful Japan visa
application and also the denied ones.
(6pm, May 30) Yesterday, my husband and I both received text
messages from Reli tours that our passports were ready for pick up indicating
that the result will be unveiled upon pick up only. Whew, what a waiting game!
(2pm, May 31) This afternoon, my husband picked up the
passports. I stayed outside Reli’s office and just waited because of fear of
breaking down in case of seeing denied visas.
Luckily, our visas were all approved! Thank goodness! It was
such a big relief and I can finally say that we’re just really counting down the days from visiting the birthplace of
Sailormoon, Batousai, Eugene and Dennis of Ghost fighter, Card Captor Sakura,
etc.
Q & A
How much show money in
your bank certificate should you present?
Clearly, there is no formula how much money in the bank an
applicant must have. Let me tell you this, we’re in great distress weeks before
the day of visa application because we spent half of our bank money for
emergency purposes. It was really untimely. So we had to ask my mom to lend us
some money for bank deposit. I really suggest that in case you have a big money
to deposit, divide it and do the depositing consecutively. If you are a family
of three, Php 120k to 150k will be good and enough for a 7-day trip to Japan.
Do I have high chance
of getting visa approval if I have previous visa approvals?
No or yes. I think the embassy is focusing on your current
visa application and not on your previous visa records. As I said earlier, this
is the first time my family got passports and Japan will be our first out of
the country tour. Just keep in mind to complete your requirements and make sure
that there are no errors in your documents.
Do I need to book flights before applying for Japan visa?
No, as mentioned earlier, Reli tours didn’t get our
itinerary tickets even though I insisted. So visa approval doesn’t really
depend whether you already have a plane ticket or not.
Can I apply for visa weeks before my departure date?
Yes, our scheduled flight is just two weeks from now. But
Reli tours is advising applicants to file visa 60 days prior to the date of
your departure to allow enough time in case Japanese Embassy will require you
to submit additional requirements.
Do I have to put the complete
details of our tour on the itinerary plan?
As much as possible, make it short but sweet. The more
details you put, the higher the chance you’ll commit mistakes in your document
and the bigger show money you must put in your bank account. The embassy is
scrutinizing if your show money can really shoulder all your trip expenditures.
So if you’re on a budget trip, just write down the places that have free
entrance and not too far from your preferred accommodation.
I have problems onn my birth certificate. Should I correct it first before applying for visa?
My husband had erroneous name and birthdate on his birth certificate
and he processed the correction last year. Evan of Reli tours mentioned that in
case your birth certificate has wrong spellings, there is nothing to worry about
because they have an affidavit form where you can fill up and state the anomaly on your birth
document.
What is the best thing to do before Japan visa application?
Research is the key my dear. I did a lot of research ever since
we booked our flight to Japan. I've read a lot of blogs which were very helpful in
long run of processing our documents.
Don’t be afraid to ask. Ask your colleagues and relatives who
had traveled to Japan because for sure, they will be more willing to share with you
their experience in visa application and their Japan sojourn.
