Frequently Asked Questions

Tap the button below to see common questions and answers.

Ang presyo ng annulment ay depende sa grounds at sa complexity ng kaso. Nagbibigay kami ng libreng initial consultation para ma-assess ang inyong sitwasyon bago kayo magdesisyon. Kasama na sa aming package ang case filing, psychological evaluation coordination, at court appearances. Makipag-ugnayan sa amin para sa personalized na quotation.

Sa karaniwan, ang annulment sa Pilipinas ay tumatagal ng 2 hanggang 5 taon depende sa court docket at grounds na gagamitin. Ang psychological incapacity (Article 36) ang pinaka-common na grounds. Ang SANISH International ay aktibong nagmo-monitor ng bawat kaso para mapabilis ang proseso hangga't maaari. Available rin ang Recognition of Foreign Divorce para sa mga may asawang dayuhan na nagdi-divorce sa ibang bansa.

Ang Nenkin (年金) ay ang Japanese pension system. Kung nagtrabaho ka sa Japan nang 6 na buwan o higit pa, maaari kang mag-claim ng lump-sum withdrawal pagkatapos umalis sa Japan. Kasama rin dito ang 20% tax refund sa amount na natanggap. Ang SANISH International ay tumutulong sa buong proseso — mula sa pagkuha ng documents hanggang sa pagtanggap ng pera.

  • ✅ 6+ months na trabaho sa Japan ang kailangan
  • ✅ May valid na visa at nenkin record
  • ✅ Dapat ay hindi na nakatira sa Japan

Oo! Nagbibigay kami ng online consultation via Zoom o Facebook Messenger para sa mga kliyente sa Japan, UAE, USA, Canada, Australia, at iba pang bansa. Ang lahat ng documents ay maaaring i-send digitally o via courier. Ang aming unang consultation ay 100% libre — walang nakatagong bayad.

Ang Recognition of Foreign Divorce (ROFD) ay isang legal na proseso sa Pilipinas para ma-recognize ang divorce na nangyari sa ibang bansa. Kailangan ito ng mga Pilipinong may asawang dayuhan na nagdi-divorce abroad, para maging legal ang kanilang civil status sa Pilipinas at makapag-asawa ulit. Ang SANISH International ay espesyalista sa ganitong kaso.

Ang Apostille ay isang international authentication ng mga dokumento para gamitin sa ibang bansa. Para sa mga Philippine documents, ito ay ginagawa ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). Tumutulong ang SANISH International sa pagkuha ng PSA documents, DFA Apostille, at legal translations — para hindi na kayo mag-alala sa mahabang pila at proseso.

Oo, 100% libre ang aming initial consultation — walang kahit anong babayaran. Maaari itong gawin in-person sa aming opisina sa Makati o Tsukuba, Japan, o online via Zoom/Messenger. Ang layunin namin ay maintindihan ang inyong sitwasyon at ibigay ang tamang legal na payo — nang walang pressure o obligation.

Oo! Tumutulong kami sa mga OFW na na-scam, hindi nabayaran ng employer, o may utang na hindi nababayaran. Available ang aming money claims assistance para sa mga kaso sa Pilipinas at Japan.
