  Hi. Good day. Ask lang po sa mga gumamit ng business as a proof of income. Anu po yung totoong business permit na tinatawag? Yun po ba yung galing sa mayor? Kasi po ganito, naka pending po sa munisipyo yung renewal ng mayor's permit ng business since kakatapos lang ng election. The rest ng documents, ok na. Hindi sya aabot sa lodging ko sa July. Panu po yun? Eto lang papers ko for the said business (DTI permit, BIR registration, income tax return, fire safety inspection permit)

  @danyan2001us thanks kuya dan! Bakit sa SVP application according sa IDP no need na to show proof of financial status..hindi na ako nag provide..ok lang ba yun? Notarized declaration lang ang prnesent ko. Common kasi yng nababasa ko here about proof of income eh..

  You're right esp if svp but in few cases, may mga institution na nahingi ng proof of funds kaya much better na rin if you're ready with them. Good luck

  You can always provide them as you want, then if hindi pa contented ang CO mo you can submit the newly renewed business permit later. Good luck

  Add ko din friend na pagawa ka din ng afidavit ng may ari ng negosyo stating na support ka nya sa pag aaral mo and may access ka sa pera ng negosyo na anytime na need mo makakakuha k ng pera mga ganun. Tas sa afidavit naka state dun na sya yung may ari ng ganitong business mga ganun.

  Hello everyone! Just want to share our experience at the same time hingi na din ng advice/tips. Yung partner ko SVP 573 with de facto ang inapplyan. Naglodge kmi ng April 6. Then nagemail sa amin yung CO Colyn name for personal interview last May 12. Bukod kming ininterview ng partner ko. Ang naginterview sa kin lulu name and yung partner ko si Colyn. Ok sna yung interview ksi nasagot nmin yung mga tanong at nagmatch lhat ng answer nmin ng partner ko. Pro si Colyn nagemail agad kinabukasan nanghihingi pa sya ng additional documentary evidence ko na nkatira na ko sa house nmin since 2013 specific sya na ako lang ang hiningian nya. 11 years na kmi ng partner ko pro nagsama kmi ng July 2013. Eto mga pinasa nmin:
  -Globe landline/internit bill /credit card whole year ng 2015 under my name
  -Cignal bills 2013 at 2015 under my partners name
  -Affidavit of cohabitation/brgy cert
  -previous visa asian travel stamps and ticket since 2006 to recent,
  -Pictures together and with family
  -Testimony from parents, friends
  -Joint bank acct pero 6 months lng (nung nagtanong CO sa min bat 6 months lang sabi nmin dun sa previous acct ko kmi naghuhulog under my name so kinuha nya din at xinerox old bank book ko under my name lang)
  
  Bka may masasuggest pa kyo na pwede nming ipasa ksi wala na tlga akong bills under my name since 2013. Appreciate your response guys. Thank you

  Praise God! I just received today my Grant notice! Indeed, God is so great to me. Imagine, this is my second attempt and it came to a point wherein I lose hope na talaga kasi di rin madali ang process ko kasi DIY lang. To those who are still waiting even dun sa mga 2nd try na, dont lose and keep on praying. God bless you all.! Thank you pala dun sa mga nakausap ko, sa mga nag advice you know who you are., God bless your souls.

  @aynie_akee1721 Nagka problema po kasi yung naka pending na permit. Baka magbago ng business address. Di ko na sana isasama yung mayor's permit kasi lalo matatagalan pag pinabago address sa lahat ng documents. Sister ko rin po yung may ari ng business na isa sa mga sponsors ko. Bale employment nya plus the business.
