Our family love to travel but Korea
is not part of my bucket list pero gaya nga ng sinabi ko kinain ng systema,
dahil kahit saan puro Kdrama , Kpop at kung ano anong K ang makikita mo sa
social media TV , facebook, Instagram and Youtube.Korea is one of those
countries that require a Visa kahit pa Asian tayo we need to secure VISA kung
gusto natin pumasok sa Bansa nila. So before you book your flight or your tour
package, you have to apply at secure your Korean Visa first.
As of now Applying for Korean
Visa is FREE and NO Appointment needed, but they already announce due to
increased number of temporary visitors visa applicants, in the near future,
walk-in applicants will no longer be accepted while only designated travel
agencies will be allowed to file temporary visitors visa application. so sa
madaling sabi tipid moves sinamantala ko habang pwede pa walk-in at waley
bayad. grabe ang aga ko sa Embassy kasi may cut-off sila from 8:30 AM until
11:00 AM every Monday to Friday ang filling. Haba ng pila ng mga visa
applicants standing pa inabutan na kami ng sikat ng araw. around 7am kami
pinapasok then mag log ka ng name mo sa log book sa guard. after naman
makapasok madali na. The receptionist gave me a stub with a number they
help me also to arrange my documents and told me just wait for my number to be
called and then proceed na sa window assigned sa akin and give my documents to
the Consul.
since Australia and Japan is in
the list of OECD country i processed to window 3. the window is for the
applicants who have traveled to any OECD country within the last 5 years fast
track din ang processing after 3 days ang release ang Visa if ever
naman na denied they will return your passport may naka insert na paper reason
for denied.
