Hello! When you were advised that your visa was approved, how long did you have to wait for it after payment? Was it just on the same day from date of payment or do you have to wait a few days after payment to get the visa and passport? Thank you!
Just pay there when you pick up your visa. Normally within 15 days.
Hi,
For those who tried to apply for visit visa, did they told you to wait for their call for interview?
Is this normal? I submitted all the requirements along with the invitation letter from my fiancee, it has been two weeks after my submission, we tried to call but they said there’s no update still.
Would reapply appreciate some advice and feedbacks. TIA!

Hi, I understand that it takes about 15 days to get your visa approved. But, how many days will you have to wait after you submit your passport for visa stamping? Do you have to wait for another 15 days? Many thanks
Depending on the volume of applications, sometimes 15 business days is minimum. If you are lucky, less than 8 business days, which is not always the case.
Hi,
What are the requirements need to visit my Egyptian friend in the Philippines?
Does the applicant have to be the one to personally submit the application forms and documents? Can father submit for everyone in the family? Is there a downloadable form for this so applicant can sign the form without having to go to the embsassy personally?
