6 days ago

My Filipina fiancée is preparing to apply for ED Visa while in Thailand and plans to go to either Manila or Cebu to acquire the ED Visa.  We are following the steps on the Gvt Website and will submit an application Online in the next few days, then ounce all the required paperwork are received, plan to travel to either Cebu or Manila to acquire the ED Visa on the 1st of February.  

Although we both searched extensively, we could Not find any reviews that would help us get a feel on the level of service that can be expected from either of the Embassies and definite timelines on how many days it takes to get the ED Visa once we are in the Philippines.  Any insight from those in the know would be greatly appreciated and if there is a spot to check on processing timelines for ED Visa in Manila and Cebu would be great also.  

Cheers!

You don't need to actually go to the embassy. You won't even be allowed in. Everything is done online, and the visa will be a pdf that's sent to you by email
