    Hi Slip, don't panic, you pay online at the time you do the application!

    So when she fills in the application I have to pay there and then. But if it's unsuccessful I lose the money or do they give it back if unsuccessful, or is that wishful thinking lol

    Yep............wishful thinking.

    The online form can be worked on, saved, amended and saved any number of times before the final submission.
    Payment is made online and that is then the date of application.
    Appointment needs to be made at VFS for submission of any appendices and for all supporting documents.

    Some docs like payslips bank statements etc must be less than 28 days old at date of application.

    Before submission the applicant needs valid English Test Cert and TB test certification

    There's no such thing as refunds. Period

    No refunds - it's like the driving test, you fail and you have to pay again. Can you imagine the deluge they'd get from the sub continent if it was unlimited re-applications

    Good luck with it

    Totally understand, just one of those questions I sort of knew the answer, but needed to hear it!!


    Anyway another one for someone to answer please. Got this message this morning, can you tell me if it is correct... Does she need to change her documents before submitting them?

    My sister say we need to wait 1 month before we could take our marriage contract from the NSO.... And after that i need to process my own documents from single to married for 2-3 weeks....only then that i can apply for the visa
    Basically what I am asking is how long after we get married could we have all the documentation to submit the spouse visa application?

    If you're up to speed. .all you'll be waiting for is the nso certificate stating you are married. We could of got that a week after our wedding ceremony. It would of meant handing over 3k to the officiating officer at Las Pinas city hall Metro Manila.

    Like I said, we didn't bother coz i was going back home in 2 days.

    Anything is possible in the Philippines.

    Good luck

    Ok thanks.... Once we are married.... She has to change her passport to her married name as she wants to submit the visa application in that name, and as I have been told on here the visa application has to be in the name that appears on the passport.

    So if she is going to wait for that we may as well wait the month for the marriage certificate....

    I'll discuss the possibility of fast tracking both with her though.


    I am out there for 6 weeks and plan to exchange my CNI the day after I arrive.... So if all goes to plan if we fast track things we could submit the visa application while I am still there..... I know it's unlikely... but then I still have to wait the outcome of the visa submission by which time my 6 weeks off from work will be over and I'll be back to the grindstone!

    Slip, why does she have to change her passport to married name? Is her passport expiring very soon?

    To understand the correct process of securing 'fast-track' marriage certificate take a look at this forum thread called Advance Endorsement Birth ,Marriage and Death Certificate

    If you're seriously planning to make visa application during your 6 week stay then be sure your partner has already secured an English Language Pass Certificate and her TB pass certificate before your arrival.

    Also do be reminded that some key documents such as bank statements/payslips must be less than 28 days old.
