I think I have a lot of problems concerning the requirements. I am considered as self-employed at the company I am working in since I work as an animator. Plus, I haven't traveled outside of the country. And I have little money on my account but I am planning on doing my best until I reach 150k on November. Is that enough for a 1 week stay?

One question for you: would you advise booking plane tickets prior to getting a Japan tourist visa? May mga murang Cathay Pacific fares na kase akong nakikita ngaun and it would be a shame not to get it. What do you think? I look forward to hearing from you.

It's also my favorite city in the world! been to Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Sydney, Bangkok, Hanoi, and Brisbane (not mentioning Manila, coz im a promdi and i just hate it there.lol)but nothing beats Tokyo I swear to God! I was able to live in Tokyo for a year for my study abroad. My visa application was different from yours but not a whole lot. I'm going there again end of March but this time, with my sister. I will be on a student visa again, but my sister will apply for a tourist visa. I'm facilitating her application. I hope she gets it! it'd be really awesome to spend a few days before not seeing each other for maybe 2 years.

Thank you so much :) I have a few questions though - Is it necessary to have a booked ticket before applying the visa? How does this work usually? Visa gets approved then you buy your ticket? How long should you buy your ticket after your visa has been approved? Like for example, when waiting for seat sale promos, let's say it's on March but the travel period is usually for the next year.. I buy a ticket this March 2013 for March 2014, so I apply for a visa between December 2013 -January 2014?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077918758660027342.post-91631241375024984212013-01-27T01:33:15.329+08:002013-01-27T01:33:15.329+08:00Hi Sir.

The only worry i have is that i don't have enough money in the bank but my trip will be sponsored by my aunt (not a japanese resident/citizen). Do you suggest me to pursue it?

I was wondering, how I could get a visa if I'm still a student or fresh out of college, with no job experience? because I wouldn't have that Income tax return requirement. Would that mean I can't get a visa? I am graduating this summer 2013, and I really want to go to japan afterwards,but I have no work experience at all. So how can I do this? I really want to go, just as a tourist of course, no tnt. I was wondering, if I go on like a family holiday, where my parents will pay, do I still need visa? I'm 21 by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077918758660027342.post-66201768046633645782013-01-02T02:35:45.415+08:002013-01-02T02:35:45.415+08:00Hi Anon!

Imagine, the number of Pinoys who went to Japan and never came back to the Philippines. That simple. I couldn't blame the consul for putting a stricter rule for us. As long as you have every reason to come back to the Philippines, and you can afford the money for your stay. Then, it should be okay i think. Of course, this is just my opinion.It's best to check the website and ask for inputs from the travel agency.

If you're going to Japan for 3 months, first thing's first. Why that long? Do you have enough money to support your long trip? Aren't you working in Manila? If so, why did they give you 3 months leave. More or less, those questions, you need to ask your self. i am no expert in Japanese visa but the number one reason so they will grant you one is, you shouldn't be overstaying.
