Will the application for a Philippine visa shorten the time to issue a visa?

Some applicants will look for an agent to submit their applications when applying for a Philippine visa, thinking that finding an agent can allow applicants to get a visa as soon as possible, but it is not true.

The agent can help the applicant to apply for a Philippine visa, but only help the applicant to pass the visa as much as possible, and will not shorten the time for issuing the visa. The specific time when the applicant can obtain the visa is mainly related to the processing speed of the embassy and the applicant's materials.

At present, the main processing method for Philippine visa is sticker visa. The sticker visa will be issued within about 10-12 working days. The issuing time is not very fast. If the applicant's materials are sufficient or the personal conditions meet the requirements of the embassy, it is possible to issue the visa in advance.

If the applicant wants to get the visa as soon as possible, he can apply for an urgent visa. The urgent visa will usually be issued within 4 working days, which is about half of the normal acceptance time. If the applicant is in a hurry, he can choose to apply urgently.

Although the agent cannot shorten the signing time, it can help to review the applicant's information. Under the guidance of a professional visa commissioner, the applicant's materials can be prepared as well as possible, which can avoid the problems easily encountered in visa applications, so that the embassy will not waste too much time when examining the applicant's materials, so that the visa can be issued as soon as possible.

As the hearing time of the embassy is about 10 working days, it is suggested that the applicant can submit the materials to the agent for examination about 20 days in advance. If there is any lack of materials, there is also time for the applicant to complete the materials.

Therefore, the agent applying for a Philippine visa cannot shorten the time for issuing a visa, but the agent who cooperates with the embassy can allow the applicant to provide simplified materials, and to some extent, it can shorten the embassy's trial time, but the specific time for issuing a visa is still determined by the embassy.
