There are something to add regarding the SRRV-Requirements.
In that snippet of E-Mail sent by our agent attached above, some papers were forgotten to be mentioned. It was then reminded again through messenger.
3 copies of apostilled Birth certificates (for child dependent), 3 copies of legalized/apostilled police clearance from primary applicant and spouse dependent (we don't need NBI-clearance in addition to the police anymore because we had submitted the application less than 30 days of stay in the Philippine), neither did we need proof of visa extension because we had already applied for 2 months visa prior the departure from Germany, so our visa was still valid presumably until the SRRV could be issued.
Anyway..my backpack was rather heavy from all the documents and the copied versions 😅, especially because I deliberately prepared a bit more extras of them and some other documents that might be relevant, just in case they suddenly wanted them.
Well...I have gone through such things in the past when applying for Visa to Germany, so... I simply don't want to waste time, money and especially energy plus additional stress to go back and forth just to pick up document which was not even requested before nor stated in the website.
However..fortunately, my precautions were not necessary. Surprisingly everything was running smoothly and only took less than 2 hours.
All we needed was paying as the agent did the submission process for us, for free!
Yes, note that, the agent was not paid by us but PRA hired them to assist the SRRV applicants.
She informed us that the process will take about 20-25 days and we'll be informed later when to pick up the passport+visa and take the oath 😊.
Maybe we'd take time to explore Manila more later when we're picking up the passport and then we might probably share another side of Manila here.
