wah zoakies, i tot u already have wife, still want to go for japanese chicks summore ahhh.....
to others who are planning to apply.
it is not necessary to have 8K in your account. It only applies if u have not have a confirmed/purchased flight ticket and hotel. do the math,
RM8000
- RM3000 (flight ticket)
- RM2000 (hotel)
--------------
RM3000 (for expenses) basically RM2.5k to 3k in bank statement is enough for one week stay but not exceeding two week. RM8k is to get assurance.
my suggestion
- provide credit card statement
or
- cash advance credit card --> put in bank --> apply visa --> got visa , withdraw payback credit card and some cash advance fees, in case u don't have friends/families willing to loan rm8k....
err sorry, juz sharing an info here..
my mother in law went to Japan on last May 2008, the req. from Jap. embassy in Jln Stonor...only ask:
1- a letter purpose to go to japan.(visiting a daughter) together with her daughter birth cert.
2- bank statement (saving or current) shows balance not less than RM 5k (i dunno bout the RM8k)
3- passport.
4- passport photo (for visa)
5- flight itinerary (NOT a flight tix)
thats all, because I'm the one went to submit the Visa!
successfully done by 3 days exactly...!
