I am thankful that I accidentally found your site. My friend and I are planning for a visit in South Korea this coming May or June maybe for a week or so and then probably go to Japan and then to the Philippines. My friend and I are Australian citizens my question is that do we need to have visa to stay in south Korea for 1 or 2 wks. Also do you think a week or 2 wks stay is enough to travel around especially we are planning to see the World Expo in Yeosu, and maybe you can suggest any interesting site that might be interesting as my friend and I loves South Korean dramas and movies I would appreciate if you could help me.

The Korean Embassy is strict with documents so you should have them all when you apply. - application form - passport (and copy of the first page) - ID picture - ITR (tax certificate) - employment certificate - bank certificate - invitation letter from a Korean Hi Fatima!

I'm so happy to have come across your blog. I'm a Filipina who hasn't left the country ever since(but I have a valid passport) and was hoping to work in Korea. Kagagraduate ko lang po ng Culinary Arts last year and while I was searching hotel sites, I've seen a job opening in a hotel in Seoul. Dapat po ba mag apply muna ako sa hotel then saka mag apply ng visa or baligtad? Thank you in advance po sa pagtulong! ^^ Hi Miss Betchay!

That's right. Many homemakers I know who applied for tourist visas to Korea used their working spouses' documents in their application. Hi Nikki! That’s right.

I was wondering if you could help me out. We have a fare and hotel booking already for a trip to Seoul this coming mid-Feb and now working on our tourist visas. I am a Canadian passport holder and have confirmed from the korean embassy that I will not need a visa, so no reqts needed. My husband, on the other hand, is a Filipino passport holder. He has been unemployed for years already and therefore cannot present an ITR nor a COE, only a Bank Cert. He can also provide a Land Title and a Vehicle Registration doc, which states this can be used in lieu of the above-mentioned docs. I've read in other sites that if someone applying is unemployed, he can present an Affidavit of Sponsorship together with the sponsor's COE, ITR, and Marriage Cert (sponsor is me). Would you be able to confirm this? We will of course prepare all documents I mentioned and will definitely present all plus the e-ticket and hotel booking docs, do you think these are sufficient? Would appreciate your input and help on this, thank you! Hi Ms. Betchay,

Pwede ka mag-apply ng tourist visa muna and sa Korea magpakasal. Pero ang pag-change daw ngayon ng visa eh kailangan sa Pilipinas gawin, unlike before na pwede na sa Korea i-process. Hi lyn!
