Receiving documents for your visa from Japan to the Philippines
When applying for a Japan visa with a Japanese guarantor, your guarantor in Japan needs to send to you the documents that he prepared. On my previous notes, please see this link,
I mentioned that my boyfriend sent the documents to me thru EMS. You can actually track it online. Please see the photos below for more info.
Day 1: (Tuesday) 15:06 the documents were dropped at EMS office somewhere in Tokyo
Day 2: (Wednesday)
06:20 the documents departed the Tokyo export office
15:25 documents have arrived in Manila
Day 3: (Thursday) at around 11:30, they delivered it to my doorstep.
P.S
I paid 112 pesos. Probably its the delivery charge.
Here's the link to their website where you could track your parcel, https://www.ems.post/en/
You need to ask the sender the 13 digit item number which is composed of letters and numbers. This can be found on the form that the sender filled up and pasted on the envelope of your parcel (pls see the last photo).
Once you enter the item number, click track then you will see the status of your parcel. In this photo, my item was posted at 15:06.
The next day, my item has departed the export office in Tokyo already. (So fast
😂)
On the same day, it arrived in Manila so I expected that I could get it the next day.
And finally, PhilPost delivered it to my doorstep! Yey! It arrived at around 11:30 A.M.
When sending the documents, you should give your complete details to your partner especially your contact number in case that PhilPost can't find your house, they could give you a call.
Complete name - I even asked my boyfriend to include my middle name
Complete address
Postal code/zip code - if you are not sure of your postal code, you can ask google ^^
Contact number
P.S
I am living in Las Pinas City, a part of Metro Manila and probably if you are living outside Metro Manila or in farther provinces, it will take some time to receive your documents. Someone told me, who is from Angeles City, Pampanga, she received her documents in 4-5 days.
