This was sent to me via e-mail by one of our readers. Thank you so much. The readers, especially those seeking to apply for a visa to South Korea, and I appreciate your effort. This is applicable to Filipinos only since the information is taken from the South Korea Embassy in the Philippines. Other nationalities seeking information on getting a visa to South Korea should ask the South Korean Embassy in their own country since requirements may be different.

I have a friend who has been working here in korea.First time he was here Trainee Visa and then after that he went back to P I and then he applied for EPS so he came back noon 2004 and then he went home last May this year because he was not able to renew his visa, the employer who promised him that he will hire him back and told him that he will send his control number did not keep his promise until now. and then now he wants to come back here as tourist to visit his friends. I am planning to invite him here just to visit us. I am a D8 visa holder for 11 years now. Do you think there is a chance for him to be granted a tourist visa?Do you think the korea be embassy be doubtful that he will go back to PI or no?Because if he wanted to be an illegal here then he should have done that last May?Di bah?ano sa palagay mo?Paano niya kaya iprove na di siya mag TNT dito?please any suggestions?He is just my friend okay kaya na i invite ko siya?

Hi,
Good Day! I just want to ask if I apply now for a tourist visa. the validity would be 1 year right? but it’s for single entry so you are allowed to enter korea only once but within the period of 1 year correct?
