We supposed to have our family holiday this coming June 2012 in Switzerland. But due to the unforeseen circumstances, we cancelled our holiday and we move it hopefully by next year. One of the main reason why our holiday has been cancelled was because of our tourist visa.
We don’t have a visa yet and we need to apply since it is a three-month holiday. We have been informed that if we want to apply for a visa, we should prepare the necessary documents and requirements three months before our planned departure date. The processing of visa will also take 4-8 weeks so we need to stay in Manila during that period of time.
Our holiday is sponsored by my mom but I was informed that even if its an all expense paid holiday, it is not an assurance that our visa will be approved. They need a bank account statement showing our balance and cash flow transactions, income tax return and other proof of financial resources. Oh well, at least we know what are the requirements that we are going to comply so that next year we are already prepared for our visa application.
