5-years ME approved

Hello!

Just wanted to share that I got my Japan ME visa approved.

Since hindi ko makuha yung regular appointments sa VFS, I just opted to submit via agency. I actually thought the process might take longer since the agency provided an acknowledgement form that they will submit the application to VFS at a later date (October 9).

Timeline:

September 30 - submitted reqs to agency

October 2 - agency submitted application to VFS 😳

October 8 - notified via email that my passport is ready for claiming

Profile:

Private employee and grad student

BB: 360k ADB: 350k

Japan travel history: July 2025 (6 days, SE visa)

Apart from the usual requirements, I also submitted a cover letter expressing my interest to visit the prefectures outside of the famous tourist destinations.

Also submitted my Form 5/Cert of registration just to prove that I am currently enrolled as stated in my cover letter lol

What have changed from my first visa application last year: I enrolled in a master's prog, travelled to a few countries, more bank savings

Approval dust for everyone too! 🍀🍀
