We initially planned to celebrate our 10th anniv as a couple and. 3rd as married in BKK pero parang mas gusto ko mag-korea na lang by October. This would be our first international trip together. But the truth is limited budget namin. I don't have to worry about our tickets since I work for a local airline, and just have to pay the tax and terminal fee. Hindi naman kami maarte sa lodging and food. Hindi rin sa shopping. Kakayanin kaya ang 25k budget for a 4d/3n stay? Relax tour lang,

Just planning to visit lang:
Seoul Tower, Love Lock Trees,  Teddy Bear Museum
Nami Island
Trick Museum
Geyongbukgong Palace
Cheonggye Stream

Other tourist spots such as Lotte World, Everland, and Petite France, sa susunod na lang kapag kasama na daughter ko and when she's much older. :) by backread and research, i can probably make an itinerary that could fit our budget. Dream destination ko kasi to.

Hi sis i booked my SK tour this coming May 21-28. Question ko lang ako 2 lang kami my work. And yun 3 kasama ko kakagraduate lang ng college and yun 1 dun HS tapos meron pa kong kasama na 12years old. Sa tingin niyo ma approve ba kami ng visa? Kelan kaya best na mag apply? End of march? Graduation nila last week of April. Natatakot ako kasi baka maya hindi sila ma approve or kahit ako hindi ma approve. Kakarenew ko lang kasi ng passport and eto pa lang ulit un travel ko this May.sa tingin niyo malaki chance na ma approve o ma deny kami? Main purpose lang namin is mg budget travel as grad gift.

Guys, about the ITR that we're supposed to submit for the visa application, okay lang ba kung ang ITR na isubmit ko ay mga nakuha ko from my previous work? Ito na kasi pinakarecent that I have, I just started a new job this year so wala pang bagong ITR

Just got our visas! My sister and I were both granted three-year multiple entry visas. She lucked out; it's only her first time to apply and multiple agad. But she applied as a student with my dad's documents, and she has a valid US visa, so I guess those have bearing. We'll be going at the end of the month. I'm excited na for the cold weather! :D

Same to you! I've a dilemma now though. Our visas say V<KOR (last name)> instead of V<PHL (last name)>. Going by my old visa and the ones I saw online, dapat PHL ata. Sigh. Looks like I'll have to have this fixed.

Sa mga babalik ng embassy na may multiple entry visas, pwede humingi ng favor? Pwede din pa-ask kung pano ang process ng pagtransfer ng multiple entry 3-yr visa from old to new passport? Kung pwede lang naman sana.. :) thanks in advance. :)

Nag-renew na kasi passport si husband. E me valid KR visa pa until 2016 (sayang din, hehe). E nabasa ko before na di sya tulad ng US visa na dalhin lang ang old passport during travel e ok na. For KR visa, it has to be on the current passport daw so need I-transfer. Pero wala ako mabasa any info kung pano ang process for visa transfer request.
