I'm heading to Japan in October from the UK to get all my documents certified and to obviously visit her again. I'm trying to get my affidavit before I go there so it's ready when I arrive, so I know I need to book it online. I'm curious if I should be waiting to apply for it until August as it says it is only valid for 3 months, but I don't know if that means it will only be valid for 3 months once it is certified at the embassy im Tokyo.
My other issue is how easy it is to book an appointment for a specific day 3 months in advance. Will this be enough time to guarantee an appointment on a specific day as I'm only there for 3 weeks and we obviously have other things we need to do afterwards, so we need this done early in the trip. There is also the issue of marriage/affidavit appointments only being available on Tuesday and Wednesday at the British embassy. Or is all of this irrelevant and I should apply now and book my appointment ASAP regardless.
Please if someone has experience with this, it would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know anything else I should know as it is obviously very expensive to keep going back and forth so I would like to do this correct the first time.
Erm, thanks.
