Hi Mark! I have a scheduled flight to Egypt this Nov 25. That means I have exactly 15 days waiting time for my visa as I have just submitted my passport today, Nov 5. But the rest of my requirements was already checked last week of October. How long did you have to wait to get your visa? Thank you.
You should go back there after 15 days and give your passport so they can put the sticker visa on it. You can call them if visa is approve or not before going in there.
hi mark i want to ask something.. i can provide all the requirements except the certificate of employment if there is possible to make another way ? so that my visa is approve?
Submit another form of income sources and any legal document that will encourage you to go back to Philippines. In the case of COE, it covers two factors for approval reason it is important.
