Do I need to make an appointment in advance to submit Philippine visa application materials

The visa application process of different countries is different. Embassies of some countries require that applicants can only submit materials if they make an appointment online in advance. Some people who want to apply for a Philippine visa ask: Do you need to make an appointment in advance to submit Philippine visa application materials?

The Philippine visa application process is relatively simple. Applicants do not need to make an appointment in advance. They only need to select the type of visa that needs to be processed and prepare the materials. They can go directly to the embassy or consulate in the consulate area to submit the materials. However, when submitting the materials, applicants need to know the working hours of the embassy so as not to make a trip in vain.

The Philippines currently has five territorial districts, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Xiamen. Among them, the Philippine Embassy set up in Beijing, other areas are consulates, and the areas under the jurisdiction of different embassies and consulates are different.

For example, the Beijing Embassy is mainly responsible for the Philippine visa application services in the Beijing consular area. The areas under the jurisdiction of the Beijing consular area are Hebei, Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Henan, Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Beijing, Tianjin, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Tibet.

However, the requirements for the management scope of the Philippine consular area are not strict. Applicants can also submit applications in the consular area of the city where they live and work for a long time, as long as they provide relevant materials.

After selecting the consular area, visa applicants need to know the working hours of the embassies and consulates in the selected consular area, which are usually from 8: 30 a.m. to 5: 30 p. m. on weekdays, and the embassies are closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. It should be noted that the rest time of embassies and consulates is the same as that of China's national holidays, and Philippine holidays are also closed. Therefore, personnel submitting materials should pay attention to inquire about this information in advance.

Applicants for Philippine visas, if they find it troublesome to submit materials in person, may consider looking for an agency to handle them. If you have any questions in this regard, you can consult and communicate with our EasyGo international online customer service.
