Is the length of stay issued by the Philippine Consulate in Shanghai the same as in other consular areas?

The Philippines has built five embassies in China, namely: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Xiamen, etc., managing visa processing in different regions. Recently, someone asked: Is the stay time issued by the Philippine Consulate in Shanghai the same as other consular areas?

At present, the stay time issued by the Shanghai embassy is different from that issued by other embassies. The stay time issued by the Shanghai embassy to the applicant is 14 days, while the stay time issued by other embassies is 30 days, which is longer than that issued by the Shanghai embassy.

In addition, there are different materials submitted. The Shanghai Embassy requires applicants to submit only: personal application form, passport valid for more than 6 months, photos taken within half a year before the application, personal ID card and other basic materials to apply for a visa. In addition to basic materials, the Guangzhou Embassy also needs applicants to provide the following materials: all travel itinerary, each previous visa page, temporary residence certificate, etc. can be submitted.

Therefore, there are some reasons for the less stay time issued by the Shanghai embassy. However, the embassy does not limit the applicant's processing area. If you want to obtain a longer stay time, the applicant can apply for a visa at the embassies such as Guangzhou and Beijing.

If the applicant is far away from other embassies, he can ask the agency for help. He only needs to hand over the materials to the agency center, and the agency commissioner can hand over the materials to the embassy, which is more convenient and worry-free.

In short, the stay time issued by the Shanghai Embassy is only 14 days, which is less than the stay time issued by other consular embassies. Applicants can choose their own consular area to handle it according to their own circumstances.
