Visa expenses

[Raqiwin 2]

Hey all, those of us dealing with Manila, I just like to ask what are the expenses involved with the whole visa application process after NOA2. Here's what I have so far:

~Visa Application fee: $100

~Med exam: $95

~plane tickets from Mindanao: ~$130

~hotel for 7 days @ local resident rate: ~$378

~food+incidentals: $50-$100

I know this is a short list but please feel free to add anything i may be missing or useful. Thanks ya'll!

You may also want to consider fee's to have the beneficiaries documents translated. I don't know how much they are but those usually come into play.

Most everything should be English in the PI

Depending on the situation there for vaccinations, you may need to add more money there. It's around $300 in Mexico but I know in other countries they are free - or you can wait and do it in the US before AOS.

When you talking about visa fees, I am not sure you are talking about interview fees or overall.

If you are talking about interview, you might also want to add the visa fee which is $100.

If you are talking about over all... I guess no one can give you a aurrate enough answer.

There is a hotel not to far from the embassy called "the boulevard Mansion" Its a hotel and residence suite. I stayed there and it was very nice, very clean for about 30 dollars a night (as of july 20, 2006) It was actually like 1630 pesos per night. If this hotel was in the U.S. They would probably charge 200 per night. I stayed on the 10th floor. The room had a kitchen, the aircon actually worked normally, (sometimes the aircons over there seem to only cool part of the room and leave the other part hot) And it was the first place I stayed that there were no ants, spiders, lizards, or funny smells in the room. But you might want to book in advance, as a precaution. It seems like this hotel gets booked pretty fast.

Vaccinations are given at no additional cost at the medical.

It's a small consideration, but there will be a delivery fee paid to Delbros. I think it's around PhP160 - 300 depending on the delivery address.
