How long does it take for the visa to be delivered if you live around Manila? I've read that it's now taking 7-10 days from the interview date but I don't know where it's delivered. It could be in the province that's why it took a long time. Over 7 years ago, I got mine after 2 days and the average back then was 2-3 days if it's in Metro Manila area and longer if it's in the province.

Its anyone's guess.

My wife lived in Taguig City just outside Makati and it was about 2 weeks before we saw the 2GO guy at the door. Others have gotten their visa in 3 days.

You can designate a local 2GO office in Manila, and just pick it up from that office. Some have been ready in 2-3 days.

Thanks for the tip! I'd let my mom know. :)

we designated a 2go office in Manila per the advice above.we tried the link with the MNL number but nothing yet. I guess we will have to wait for the text when 2go sends us a message :)

Let me know when it becomes available for pick up so I can estimate my mom's arrival. ::)

Today (Monday) is a Holiday? I checked PI holiday calendar and didn't see any holiday today. Sorry to hear it - 1 more day missed on processing. :crying:

It's Columbus Day over here in US. It's not holiday for me at work but it's a holiday for those who work in the government. I want a holiday too! You'll get your visa soon. :)
