Philippine passport holder, Pass holder in Singapore (work), applying for a Japan tourist visa, but Port of Origin is Philippines
I am a Filipino currently working here in Singapore (pass holder). I have a flight to Japan booked on July, 2015, but my port of origin will be in Philippines. I will be on a vacation in my home country on the same month so I decided to book my flight from there. However, one of the requirements in applying for a Japan visa here in SG is that the flight should depart and terminate here.
Does this mean that I need to apply my visa in the Japanese embassy in the Philippines? Or are there any additional documents I need to submit for me to be eligible to apply here despite my port of origin being in Philippines?
Best Answer
You should first contact the embassy, this requirement is very unusual and there is probably a way around it. Maybe you can show both your Singapore-Philippines and Philippine-Japan tickets.
