We're Granted a 10-Yr Multiple Entry Japan Visa at First Try! 🎉

 After hubby won his roundtrip flight to Japan last February 9, 2025 at the Pokemon Run Philippines, we started researching and preparing our documents for the Japan Visa application.

Right after the run, I immediately pushed him to renew his PRC License at the Rosales, Pangasinan branch since it was just beside the PSA office where we were getting our marriage and birth certificates as some of the requirements.

After that, we kind of drift off since we prioritized processing the transfer of the title of our house.

Because of the announcement that the Japan visa application will be solely submitted to VFS Global starting April 2025, and due to the influx of applicants, we decided to observe first.

And they're mentioning that it's hard to book a slot from the VFS Global's website anyway.

2025 Late Car Registration Renewal at LTO Binalonan (We were power tripped!)

 The car's registration renewal was due in the second week of July, but we were busy with the Japan visa application back then so we were only able to look into it now.

We went to the nearest LTO branch today, August 13.

We left the house at 1:15PM.

It was about a 20-minute drive from home.

When we arrived, we were advised by the guard to go straight to the inspection center, which is just beside the LTO office, to ask for the requirements because the queue to the assistance desk is so long it will just take us more time.

We did so, and at the inspection center we were advised to go to the emission testing center, which is also near them.
