Re: Korea (thread 6)

[lululemon]

Thanks sis @u8mypinkcookies, halee for answering..

Another question sana, yung sa TIN no. bakit nagiging reason for denial at delay kahit tama naman yung na provide sa 2316 (nabasa ko sa ibang forum din about this)?
Tinatawagan ba nila ang BIR to check on this?
Pasensya na dami questions mga sis, will apply sana next week kaya medyo kabado at marami tanong..

Here's what I submitted when I applied for the Visa's of me and my family:

Basic Requirements: --> Submitted for all
1. Passport
2. Passport size picture
3. Application Form
4. Copy of Page 2 and 3 of Passport

Me: Employee
1. COE
2. ITR
3. Bank Certificate

my Mom: Housewife
1. Marriage Contract

brother and sister: both students
1. School certificate
2. Birth certificate

Since my Dad, an OFW, will be the one sponsoring my mom and siblings, here's his documents that was submitted along with their application:
1. COE
2. Bank Certificate
3. POEA travel exit clearance
4. Land titles
5. Car registration


Kahit complete yung docs namin, super kinabahan pa rin ako. Yun Marriage Contract kasi ng parents ko hindi siya galing NSO. Yun yung original kasi talaga at halos hindi na mabasa. Tapos wala akong copy ng school ID ng mga kapatid ko, pero tinanggap pa rin. I guess tama nga yung sa updated na kahit wala ng copy ng school ID. 

Kinabahan ako kasi binalik yung docs namin nung nagapply ako dahil walang phone number yung school certificate ng brother ko. Ayun, pinatext ko sa kapatid ko contact number ng school nila at sinulat ko nalang dun sa certificate. Kaya make sure that may mga contact numbers din sa docs na susubmit niyo.

^^ Meron sign sa Korean embassy na incorrect information provided like incorrect TIN is a basis for denial. It's a given that they do verify the documents submitted. Lalo na dito sa Pinas na ang dali dali mameke ng docs. As to the process, I have no idea. Pero malamang sa malamang, meron silang link to government offices to verify the docs.

Kaya for those na magapply, double check if correct ang lahat ng information na nakalagay sa docs. Tas dapat consistent yung mga docs na susubmit niyo.

[sherylpchan]

Visa denied..documents cannot verified daw.e sure docs naman lahat ng land title ko and 100% not fake no.feeling ko naisilip yung ke hubby na me place kami pagstayan don baka akala magtnt kami.and siguro dahil wala ko bank cert. kasi naman kala ko ok na kahit wala non.and i know kulang pa rin talaga docs ko na pinakita..oh well we never really know the reason.Next time na lang puro papers ko na diko na sali ke hubby...or pag ke hubby lahat  lang ng papers sa kanya....and kumpletuhin ko na talaga  ;Dhaish better luck next time.

Hello! Okay po ba itong itinerary na ito? For DAY 3 and 4 hindi ako sure kung sila ba talaga ang dapat na magkakasama sa 1 araw. Masyado bang hectic ang DAY 1 at maluwag sa ibang days na baka pwedeng ilipat yung iba? Basically, yan lang po yung gusto naming puntahan. No themeparks, teddy bear museum, kpop spots. Gusto namin medyo petiks kami dito at di kinukulang sa tulog.

DAY 1
arrival: 6:15 AM
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Changdeokgung Palace
Gwanghwamun Square
Bukchon Hanok Village

DAY 2
Petite France
Nami Island

DAY 3
Namsan Park
(at night)
Cheonggyecheon Stream
Namsan Tower + Wall of Love

DAY 4
Yeouido Park - Biking
(at night)
N Seoul Tower + Locks of Love
Banpo Bridge/Han River

DAY 5
Namdaemun and/or Dongdaemun for shopping
flight @ 9:35 PM


Thank you!

[merian]

^ Namsan tower = N Seoul tower. Or talagang 2x mo siya gusto puntahan?

[shopaholic_in_rehab]

^^ ang luwag ng sched nyo. Dami pa pwede singitan. Ayaw mo isama myeondong for shopping? Masarap magshopping don. magkalapit lang nandaemun and myeondong.

Namsam Park, NseouL Tower, Locks of LOve magkakasama din sila. Myeondong is near Namsan.

Gwanghamun square is infront of Gyeongbukgong. Tapos walking distance lang from gwanghamun yung Cheonggyecheon Stream. Then dulo ng stream is dongdaemun.

Changdeokgung and bukchon hanok is magkalapit.

Yung Yeouido and Banpo bridge hindi ko pa natry puntahan. There are other places na pwede puntahan incase lang magustuhan nyo pa magikot.

Hongdae
Insadong for souvenir shopping
Yung mga Korean Folk Village
Fortressess like Naksan Fortess or Hwaseong Fortess.
etc etc.

[bebeloo]

^ thanks sis sa suggestions. yung Korean Folk Village san ko siya pwedeng ilagay? Yung mga fortress ba sis, hindi pa parang kamukha lang din siya nung mga palaces? hehe pag mga ref magnet, chocs, i <3 korea shirts, saan ba dapat bumili, sa insadong ba or sa Namdaemun/Dongdaemun?

^ Namsan tower = N Seoul tower. Or talagang 2x mo siya gusto puntahan?

ay pareho lang ba yun sis? akala ko magkaiba siya? so yung locks of love at wall of love nasa isang place lang din pala?

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ yup, pagpunta mo sa Namsan Tower, andun na yung Locks of Love pati Teddy Bear museum. Since open naman shops in Myeongdong at night, pwede kayo derecho dun after. Go to Hongdae for some shopping and chill lang sa coffee shops ayaw nyo mag-Trick Eye Museum? Sa Hongdae lang din yun. Sarap ng sked mo, ang luwag!

[bebeloo]

^ayaw kasi namin ng mga themeparks sis. lugi kami dahil di naman kami ma-rides. then sa shopping, pasalubong lang binibili namin at hindi kami talaga yung naghhoard hahaha 1 ref magnet, 1 shirt, 4 sets ng food pasalubong (e.g. chocs, etc.).. saktong yan lang ang binibili ko talaga. hindi kami bumibili para sa mga sarili namin. hehe

Andun din sa Namsan Tower yung Wall of Love, tama ba sis?

Ano ba talaga ang best puntahan na shopping area kung generic pasalubong lang ang bibilhin namin?

Napapaisip ako sa Korean Folk Village at kahit anong Fortress.. hindi ba redundant kung 2 parks yung pupuntahan namin (Yeouido and Namsan)?

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ di naman sya themepark. Sarap lang mag-picture sa two museums na yun 

May wall if love ba? Alam ko lang Locks of Love, yung pinuntayan namin sa Namsan. Dongdaemun and Myeongdong kasi kami nag-shop e. di na kami nag-Nandaemun coz kulang sa time. Sa Myeondong, meron shops sa underground, yung dinadaanan going to the train. Pwede ka rin tumingin dun.

[bebeloo]

^yung nasa pinakababa nito sis: http://herwanderwall.blogspot.com/2012/04/south-korea-n-seoul-tower.html

para kasing nakakatakot yung mga bears pag tinitingnan ko sa mga pics. haha

San ba mura sis? Nakapunta ka ng Korean Folk Village at any fortress?

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ oh i think it's in the same location. her post kasi is everything within the n tower vicinity (di ko ata napansin yung walls na yun nung nagpunta kami) no sis, cute yung bears. di sya lahat life size... maganda yung mga gumagalaw sa loob to show the life & culture of Korea. Nakakaaliw. Well kung may extra time pa kayo, since andun ka na rin sa N Tower, drop by ka na rin.

di kami nakapunta sa Korean Folk Village. kulang kami sa oras e, saka nag-Everland kasi kami (halos 1 day na-allot dun). Ayan may reason pa kami to go back, dami pa namin di na-ikot sa Seoul

[katniss]

parang yung walls of love yata sa 63 building sya na malapait rin sa Yeouido Park. Parang yun yung nabasa ko before.

sis you might want to add yung Hyewa Village + Naksan Fortress Wall nga. Different sya sa palaces. Yung fortress ito yung old walls na nakapalibot sa Seoul nung Joseon period. Anyway, best to go there sa hapon tapos pagabi na. Unahin nyo yung Hywewa Village tapos paakyat sa Naksan Park/Fortress Wall. Maganda city lights dun tapos picture sa wall. LOL. suggestion lang naman. Google mo to see the pictures, tapos kung magustuhan mo, why not add it to your iti

With regard to pasalubog like magnet, shirts etc sa Insadong kami nakabili. Pwede ka dumerecho dito after mo ng Gyeongbokgung or Bukchon Hanok Village. Don't miss Ssamziegil too. Nasa loob din sya ng Insadong, sobrang artsy ng mini mall na ito at kakaiba yung structure nya.

[chinkyaise]

Will there be any sisses going to Korea on October 23-26?  Thanks.

[peachtraveller]

sis chinkyaise we will be in Sokor on October 19-28  October 23-24 - Busan/Gyeonju and will be traveling back to Seoul night of October 24 

[chinkyaise]

  I will be in Seoul kasi from Oct. 23-26 with my mom, sino kasama mo?  By the way, I came across one residence, instead of Namsan guesthouse 3 parang mas maganda magstay dito: www.nanaresidence.com, it's also in myeong dong area.

[preorder_shop]

isusuggest ko sana na isingit mo na lang Insadong after ng palaces kasi malapit lang yun pero vacant pa naman pala ang Day 5 so keri na rin. san ka magsstay?
