Submitted document :

- Passport picture

- Copy of passport info page

* 1 of us just deposited the funds to personal saving account few days before we submit the application and do not have the bank statement to show the funds, we submitted funds deposit receipt from bank + screenshot of the current balance from the account with a short note explaining this and they accepted it without further questions

- Requested further documents 2 times for 3 months bank statement as we only provide 1 month statement at the beginning and more documents from the Seminar

Fee : 18000PHP (a little more than 10k thb )

Visa Approved date : Today afternoon, 12th February Wednesday ( 3 working days )

Really thankful for all the advices in this group!! Also I saw some posts talking about the Seminar we enrolled to , we probably are the 1st one to apply the visa with this Seminar in Manila, no issues besides some more documents needed from the seminar, the people from the Seminar are very helpful and responsivešŸ‘šŸ¾

Have you gotten your visa yet? My husband applied from Manila on Sunday and still waiting...
Daniel ****
@Aguri ******
not yet. When is your departure date? Is he on pending approval?
Aguri *******
@Daniel ***
Oh really... He is already on pending approval since Tuesday! And his departure date is Saturday.
Daniel ****
@Aguri ******
pending approval means heā€™s on the last stage. Hopefully he gets it end of today
Aguri *******
@Daniel ***
Maybe it has to do with the departure date. What day did you say that you're departing to Thailand? I hope you'll get it today as well!
Daniel ****
@Aguri ******
I said mid March still. Which I regret. I called the embassy and they said they prioritize people who have flights soon.
Aguri *******
@Daniel ***
Ohhh that makes sense... Hopefully you'll get yours soonšŸ˜­
Daniel ****
@Aguri ******
did you guys get it?
Aguri *******
@Daniel ***
NošŸ˜­ My husband sent them an email so hopefully tomorrowšŸ˜­
Daniel ****
@Aguri ******
the embassy is very responsive via landline too!
Aguri *******
@Daniel ***
Btw still haven't received the visa. He went to the embassy and they told him that the process will finish for sure 100% by today. And I heard that they process visa after 5pm. I don't think he is getting a visa today and don't know what to do....
Daniel ****
@Aguri ******
Iā€™m very sorry to hear that. I guess he will have to rebook his flight :( I also didnā€™t get mine. They said because Iā€™m leaving mid March to expect it first or second week of Marchā€¦
Aguri *******
@Daniel ***
I don't know why they would lie like that... It's passed 5 business days and we don't even know until when he needs to be there...
Daniel ****
@Aguri ******
sound stressful. Fingers crossed he gets it Monday.
Aguri *******
@Daniel ***
Omg!!!! Just got approved!!!!! So late but they didn't liešŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
Daniel ****
