Korea (Thread 11)

[meloncreme]

I will be going to Korea this September. I'm trying to make an itinerary. I will be staying there for 6 nights. But since I will be going to a uni for 5 days, medyo mahirap. 9:00AM to 1:00PM kasi yung class. Can you guys recommend some places to visit? I'm not sure where I will be staying since wala pa akong narereceive na details regarding homestay. But the school is located at Dongdaemun area.

Sorry question -- should I get the KR pass or t-money card? Nalilito na ko sa train stations

Yung KR pass sis sa Korail yun. Yung T-money sa subway. Kung wala ka naman na pupuntahan na malalayo ok na siguro na T-money na lang bilhin mo.

Sisses, for visa application, may nakapag try na ba sa inyo magpasa ng Marriage certificate na certified true copy lang, hindi NSO copy? After 6 months pa daw kasi available ang NSO copy eh.

TIA!

[sevangelista]

Regarding visa application, how early can we apply? We plan to tour Korea October 24-29. Thanks!

[esor]

^sis sevangelista, as early as August 

[mariz11]

Hi mga sis! may question ang friend ko regarding Korean Visa application. Copy paste ko yung question niya:

i have a question kasi. ang nakalagay sa visa req, 6 months valid dapat ang passport. eh di ba yung passport natin is valid lang 6 months prior to expiration. ngayon yung passport ko is mag expire ng july 2017. so kung iexclude ko yung 6 months prior to expi, di na siya 6 months valid kapag october ako mag apply ng visa. gusto ko sana maconfirm kung considered valid pa ba yung sakin or hindi. kasi kailangan ko mag apply ng end of august kung ganun ang basis nila ng consideration ng valid.

nag-email na siya sa korean embassy and Ito yung thread ng conversation nila:

As long as the passport is 6 months valid upon applying for the visa, it is acceptable.

eto ang sagot ko hahaha

Hello again. Is 6 months prior to expiration considered as 6 months valid? Because the passport can be used 6 months before the expiration. Please clarify.


Medyo nalilito rin kasi ako sa question niya kasi sa bilang ko if September kami mag-apply may 10months pa na valid ang passport niya. We'll be travelling on November 11-20, 2016. Thanks mga sis!
