Question 1

What is the WanderWise Visa Show Money Calculator?

Accepted Answer

It is a free online tool that helps Filipino travelers estimate their financial readiness for a tourist visa application. It provides a general preparation estimate based on the information you enter about your trip, income, savings, and financial profile.

Question 2

Is the result an official embassy requirement?

Accepted Answer

No. The result is a general planning estimate only. It does not represent an official embassy requirement or guarantee of visa approval. Visa applications are assessed based on the applicant's complete profile and circumstances.

Question 3

Does using this tool guarantee my visa will be approved?

Accepted Answer

No tool can guarantee visa approval. Final visa decisions are made solely by the relevant embassy, consulate, or immigration authority. WanderWise is designed to help you prepare and understand your financial readiness.

Question 4

What is "show money"?

Accepted Answer

"Show money" is an informal term commonly used by Filipino travelers referring to proof of financial capacity for a visa application. It is not simply the amount in a bank account — embassies may assess income, savings, bank history, source of funds, and overall financial consistency.

Question 5

Is there a fixed amount I need to show?

Accepted Answer

There is usually no single amount that applies to every applicant. A reasonable financial profile depends on the destination, length of stay, number of travelers, trip style, income, savings, sponsor capacity, and supporting documents.

Question 6

Do I need to provide my bank account number or PIN?

Accepted Answer

No. WanderWise never asks for your bank account number, PIN, OTP, or online banking credentials. You only enter general amounts and estimates.

Question 7

Is my data saved or shared?

Accepted Answer

Your calculator data is saved locally on your device using your browser's storage. It is not submitted to any server unless you explicitly request a consultation with Wandertrift.

Question 8

Can I use this tool if I am sponsored by someone else?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The calculator includes options for sponsored applicants. You can enter your sponsor's financial details instead of your own, and the assessment will adjust accordingly.

Question 9

What if I have had a visa refusal before?

Accepted Answer

A previous refusal does not automatically disqualify an application. The calculator accounts for prior refusals and considers whether your circumstances have changed since then.

Question 10

What if I have a large deposit in my bank account?

Accepted Answer

A recent large deposit is not automatically negative. However, you may need to explain and document the source of the funds. The calculator takes this into account in your assessment.

Question 11

How accurate is the suggested financial preparation range?

Accepted Answer

The range is a general estimate based on your inputs and profile type. It is not an official embassy-required amount. It is intended to give you a general sense of the financial preparation that may support your trip budget.

Question 12

Can I use this tool for any country?

Accepted Answer

The calculator supports common destinations for Filipino travelers including Japan, South Korea, Schengen Area, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United States, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and others.

Question 13

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No. WanderWise is free to use and does not require an account. Your progress is saved on your device so you can resume later.

Question 14

What should I do after getting my assessment?

Accepted Answer

You can use the results to guide your preparation. If you would like personalized guidance, you can request a consultation with a Wandertrift visa specialist who can review your profile before submission.

Question 15

Does Wandertrift offer visa assistance services?
