First time traveler in South Korea

  Hi Guys! This is Sansan I'm starting to write this blog to help and express the Happiness when I came for the first time in South Korea, I know lots of us wants to got there specially those who are Kdrama addict and Kpop stan!. So I'm here to guide you step by step how achieve your dream vacation! ;) 

   First lets start how we get the visa: 

1. Fist of all you should have a valid Passport not expired within 6 months
2. Complete the necessary documents needed for applying Korean Visa 

     For First time traveler 

South Korean Visa Application Form (Download straight from the Korean Embassy website for the updated version)

Original bank certificate named under you plus 3 to 6 months average daily balance (and/or certified true copy of bank statements or passbook for the most recent 3 months): How much should be in it, you ask? There’s really no specific amount required but make sure what’s in it should be able to cover your expenses during your stay. Less than 60 days, maybe 60,000? You’ll need more if you’re aiming to stay beyond 60 days.
Photocopy of Income Tax Return (ITR) or Form 2316 plus photocopies
Proof of income or financial capacity and stability
Employed: certificate of employment (must include company’s official letterhead, the position held, hiring date, salary, office address, HR telephone number, HR email address)
Freelancer or Self-employed: a cover letter explaining your situation; if you have proof of agreements or transactions with your clients (e.g. contracts, screenshots of work, proof of payments, letters from clients, etc), present copies.
Business Owner: photocopy of ITR, photocopy of Business Registration issued by DTI / SEC, photocopy of Business Permit or Mayor’s Permit
Senior Citizens or Retirees: photocopy of Senior Citizen ID
For South Korean Tourist Visa Application with Sponsored


Photocopy of the sponsor’s government-issued ID (passport will do)
Sponsorship/Guarantee Letter written and signed by the sponsor and indicating that he or she will cover the expenses of the visit
Photocopy of Marriage Certificate (if the applicant is married to sponsor)
Birth Certificate of the sponsor (if the sponsor is a sibling of the applicant)
Photocopy of school ID and original copy of school certificate (if the applicant is a student)
Photocopy of birth certificate (if the applicant is a minor or student)
3. After completion of Requirements your now good to go to proceed and send it to accredited agency that can help you to process your Visa (you can check the list of accredited agency thru online :) )

4. Upon applying Visa there is a  certain number of days they have to process it as of now they have 35-40 days processing, but recently they  announce that they might reduce number of days processing due to additional staff member that can accommodate Visa process. 

5. After waiting for the processing Visa your Travel Agency will returned back you Passport with result of Approved or denied. I know you worry to much for that result but I'm telling you as long as you complete and file correctly your requirements the result is 90%. Take note also the amount you present in your bank account can be 30,000-50,000 just a suggestion hehe..

     Once your result is Approved you are now goo to go to South Korea!!!
