Korea (Thread 11)

[mspipay]

question mga sis. yung egg wifi na pinapa-rent for 5,000 won/day kailangan pa ba sya i-load or gagamitin na lang?

gagamitin na lang sis. We got it from the airport then pagbalik upon departure, dun ang full payment. Bring your credit card

[longing]

^ thanks sis, mura nga kuha nyo. 8k-9k is airfare with minimal luggage allowance.
anong date kayo sis nagpunta ng korea? best ba to go there april to may? sorry di na ako nagbackread :/

we went ng march. tail-end winter, so tuyo lahat ng dahon but we still had so much fun.  if ever babalik kami, gusto ko november para fall.

[summer888]

is there anyone here na nakapunta na sa jisan ski resort na hindi naka package tour? yun free shuttle kase korean lang. hindi kami mag ski. photo ops lang and para sure makahawak ng snow. please share naman your experience like how did you get to and from jisan resort, anong pwedeng gawin if hindi ka mag ski , yun food dun etc... thanks.

^we went to Vivaldi resort during our recent trip, close pa kase yung Jisan during that time. I suggest you ask your hotel concierge to help you get to Jisan without taking the shuttle. Or you can ask them to help you book the shuttle. Easier pa din to take the shuttle plus I know it's free.

Vivaldi is farther compared to Jisan (took us more than 2 hours) and we have to ride 2 buses (around an hour each). Pero we managed to get there without availing of the shuttle service or package tour.

When you get to the ski resort, you have to rent a ski equipment and buy a lift pass. You won't be able to go inside without it. In Vivaldi's case, there's a fence around the slopes and you have to show your lift pass to get inside. Hindi pwedeng naka boots and papasok ka lang to take photos.

We wanted to avail of a ski lesson kaya lang walang available English-speaking instructor when we went there. So I just paid for the ski equipment (around KRW10000 each) for my two kids and told them to figure out how to ski. They didn't use the lift to get to the top of the slope. They just stayed near the fence, sa may flat area lang at the foot of the slopes. Most of the ski lessons sa flat area lang din ginagawa.

^ mga sisses sino po nakapagstay sa ib ville guesthouse?please po pa share sa experience dito..sis summer888 sana meron ding makaanswer sa questions mo kasi gusto din naming makapunta ng ski resort..when po ba track time nyo? February 5-10 kami

[louise_17]

Hello! any feedback on Seoul City Bus? http://en.seoulcitybus.com/ Looks sulit for the 12,000 won per day pass tapos hop on hop off..

[summer888]

@quennie06 Sa Feb 03 to 10 naman kami. Ginagawa ko na yung itinerary namin kaya hopefully makakuha pa ako ng additional information about Jisan Ski Resort. Another option ko is papatulong na lang ako sa hostel namin sa pag book pag dating namin dun. Same hostel na tinuluyan namin last year yun and very helpful naman sila pag may mga inquiries ka.

Sissies question lang po.

Pwede kaya maaprove ang application ko. I am currently unemployed pero this jan 1 lang natapos contract ko. I dont have ITR kasi i am an ex OFW. I have at least 100k sa bank. I also have credit card here and a car. I had been to Singapore and Malaysia at nakatatatak sya sa current passport ko. What are my chances kaya?

I wanted to go to Korea for our honeymoon this March. Booked na yung flights namin.

[sophistique]

When acquiring a visa, does it matter din kaya how long you've been with the company? I resigned kasi from my previous job last November. I'll be starting sa new job ko this month kaya mag-reflect sa COE ko na bago pa lang akong employee. Thank you for answering. Katakot ma-deny.

[dulcette]

I applied for a visa today. Complete docs sinubmit ko but the consul lady took everything but my ITR and COR ng business. ganun ba talaga? I am self employed.

So bali ang nasa embassy ngayon is yung app form, passport, COEs from my clinics, photocopy ng passport, bank cert,

One more thing, yung nakalagay sa claim stub, D-9, E-6, E-7, E-9, F-1, Seaman, F6-1, all of which are non tourist visa types (ang closest lang ay visiting relatives)

Kakastress!

[dooonna]

Hi! Ask ko lang kung anong documents kaya need namin submit for our family. We'll be travelling to Seoul this April 2015.

Dad:
- 70 y/o
- Still working as a trainor sa isang shipping company (not sure if may tax pa siya but parang honorarium type of pay na nakukuha niya kasi no work no pay naman)
- I think he has visas pa from before kasi he was a seaman dati pero baka expired na.
- He'll be shouldering all our expenses for the trip
- We have a renting business named under him. Registered and all naman.

Mom:
- Housewife, no work

Me:
- 1 year na ko sa work ko on April.
- Regular employee
- No 2014 ITR pa March pa daw release eh.

Brother:
- 19 years old
- College student but graduating on April na din.

We'll be applying for visa on February.

1. What documents do we need to submit if my dad will shoulder everything?
2. Do I need to submit my financial docs as well? Will it help sa approval? I have enough money naman sa bank to support myself nga lang for the trip. I dont have ITR tho.

TIA!

[gorgeousmama]

Doonna,


Im not an expert but i would suggest the ff docu,

If your father has a business and it is registered, DTI cert and ITR
Marriage cert of your parents
School cert of your brother
COE of your company
Bank cert from your father's bank
And old passport of your father where his visa was attached
And LETTER OF SUPPORT STATING that your father will shoulder all  expenses but i
Think given na yun since family kayo.

Your good. Travel history is an advantage, anyways if me kulang pa sa docs ninyo
They will advise you to get that docu and comeback

Speaking through experience im a housewife, i brought along my
1 marriage cert
2. COE of my husband
3. Bank cert.
4. Old passport with my US visa ( just renewed my new passport last june
That was it, i guessed my US visa & my good travel history helps a lot
I did not furnish them a copy that my husband will be the one paying for my trip
My visa was released on the 3rd day of my application, no question asked, no additional
Docu
Good luck !!!

The reasons of the denial of visa application are as follows:
- Your passport is invalid;
- You are prohibited to enter Korea as per Korean Immigration law no.11 sec. 1
(Prohibition of Entry);
- Our record shows that you have previously violated the Korean law;
- You failed to submit the required document completely;- The documents you have submitted cannot be verified;
- You failed to prove the purpose of entry to Korea;
- You failed to prove strong economic and family ties to the home country;
- Your inviter is not qualified to invite you;
- You failed to prove the relationship with your inviter.

^kaya sis di na nila inaccept yun requirements mo, kasi madedeny lang din.
I think ITR & COE is important requirements talaga para ma approve, unless may inviter ka or may mag sponsor syo.

[dooonna]

Thank you sis esor! Tatanggap ba sila ng letter of explanation or something? Baka kasi they would find it unnecessary.

And okay lang kaya if wala akong ITR? Ayokong irisk kasi na aantayin ko lang ITR ko before we apply for visa kasi baka magkandadelay delay pa :p

And, sulit ba to get tour packages from Rakso? Matiyaga naman ako gumawa ng itinerary kaya lang I feel stressed out pag nandun na. Parang hindi ko na ma-enjoy 'yung place trying to figure out routes, where to go etc. Lol!
