2011年分のクオータビザ正式受付開始
このことだけは、認識して貰いたいのだが、クオータビザは決して特別なビザでないのだ。ブローカー(この場合は不動産詐欺師)が、詐欺に利用したので、一般の方には、特別の認識された見たいなのだ。フィリピンには、不動産バブルなんか存在しないのだ。海外の資金で建設ラッシュは起こったが、今はその建築も工期が遅れだしてるのだ。
- クオータビザ取得期間は、今現在3ヶ月が安全圏なのだ。
- よって、永住組でなければ一旦日本に帰った方が良いのだ。
- 永住組は、ゆっくりと待って貰いたいのだ。
- 日系企業お努めの方は、就労しないで待つのだ。
- 肝心のクオータビザ取得代行一式の費用は、未だに公開されていないのだ。
- 今週のはずだったのだが、もう明日は金曜日なのだ。
覚え書き回覧板 – 11-003
そして最終版の – 11-004が公示されたのだ。
この回覧板には、入館局長も名前が出たので、一安心の要素なのだ。
フィリピンの法務局擬(UPに成ってるので)にも今回のこの改訂が正式に受け付けるみたいなのだ。
“Let”を最初の切り出しに使ってるので、その辺は確信が持てないのも事実なのだ。
