Do I need to make an appointment in advance when applying for a Philippine visa?

The Philippines is a Southeast Asian country. Although it is not visa-free to our country, there are not many requirements for applying for an entry visa. As long as there is no bad record and the materials are complete, it can be signed. So, when applying for a visa, will you need to make an appointment in advance like European and American countries?

There is no need to make an appointment in advance when applying for a Philippine visa. As long as you choose the type of visa that needs to be processed and prepare the materials, the applicant can directly submit the materials to the embassy in the consulate area, and there is no requirement to make an appointment in advance. However, when submitting 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. The Philippine embassy does not have a specific visa applicant who can only go to the consular area where the passport is issued. 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.

The working hours of the Philippine Embassy are from 8: 30 a.m. to 5: 30 p. m. on weekdays, and the time for handling business abroad is relatively ample, but the rest time of the Embassy is the same as that of China's national holidays, as well as holidays in the Philippines. Therefore, applicants should grasp the time of submission.

At present, there is no relevant institution entrusted as the application center, so it is OK to apply directly to the embassy. If the applicant does not have time or feels more troublesome, he can consider looking for an agency to handle it. However, applicants need to be clear that the agency is required to charge a certain fee. However, it depends on the choice of the applicant.
