Korea (Thread 13)

[iamkayieeee]

hi ladies. have few questions lang. hope mahelp niyo ko.

1. I will apply for Korean visa thru BDO Gold cc. --kaka approve lang nung Gold ko actually so wala pa ko billing statement pero sabi dun naka enroll na ako sa billing statement na thru email ipapa dala. Question, pano kayo nakapag provide ng billing statement kay embassy? pwede bang iprint ko nalang yung nasa email if ever OR kung irerequest? papano? itatawag ba sa hotline or thru branch pwede? Also, baka pwede na din ako makahingi ng detailed process dun sa mga nakapag apply ng visa gamit yung BDO Gold - much appreciated po talaga.

2. this morning nag inform si Cebu Pac na namove yung departure time naming, from 3pm to 5pm so from 8pm na dating nagin 10:40ata. Question, anong mas okay na transpo from Incheon going to Seoul?

super thanks sisses! have a nice evening! xx

[blackgreen]

^ay oo nga! Trazy pala kami. My bad. Sorry..

[ataypool]

Anyone in Seoul? kumusta diyan, medyo may kaba kasi ako due to the 'threats'.

[mariz11]

^^Sis mag-request ka sa bank. Original kasi ang required ni Korean Embassy . I think same lang ng process ng regular visa applic. But instead of submitting Bank certificate and statement, Billing statement for CC ang ibibigay mo (http://embassy_philippines.mofa.go.kr/webmodule/htsboard/template/read/new_legengreadboard.jsp?typeID=16&boardid=11233&seqno=746524&c=&t=&pagenum=1&tableName=TYPE_ENGLEGATIO&pc=&dc=&wc=&lu=&vu=&iu=&du=).

I tried to submit my BPI gold kaya lang sad to say nag-attach din kasi ako ng Bank cert and Bank statement, mas priority nila ang cash haha no need na daw for the billing. Oh well try again next time.

As to Seoul, common na daw yan. Dun sa nasamahan kong DMZ tour NoKor always threatens daw kaya parang wala na lang sa kanila. US lang daw talaga nagpapasama ng relationship nung dalawang bansa.

@iamkayieeee

hanggang 12 lang ang AREX so tantyahin nyo if matagal pila sa immigration. mag-aairport bus na kayo pag di kayo nakapag-AREX.

[pinksuman]

Hi all! Now in seoul with the family since sept 2 and weather is great.
No threats.
Super ok sa skypark central myeongdong.
Im now texting this while waiting for our laundry. Sa sept 9 pa kame uuwe so laba laba muna

Sa skypark central walang coin laundry but less than 20 steps away is skypark II na may coin laundry so while waiting for our labada...nag manicure muna kame coz may free etude house nail polishes, free coffee, water
Cold and hot, ice dispenser, pcs with free wifi and paid massage chair. Dami namin nagawa while waiting and bumili ng snacks sa 711.
1st time namin sa Korea. We like it so far. Parang japan and sg lang with a different vibe

Mariz11 and Pinksuman, thank you! I'm still worried, probability of a war increased by 20 percent (from 10). Anyway, wait ko ang talks sa Monday sa UN and pag may nabasa na ako na citizens from other countries pinapaalis na sa SK.

Thanks Pinksuman for the review sa Hotel Skypark. We booked a Family room sa branches nila in Central II and Kingstown Dongdaemum for our stay during the Chuseok holiday.

[mariz11]

^You're welcome sis. Si Pinksuman may review ng Skypark ahehe!

Hopefully everything will be resolved between the divided country and US.

[ataypool]

^Oooopppsss! Sorry Pinksuman. Edited.

Nag submit na kami ng billing statement from email. Tinanggap naman. Pero kung bank statement and bank cert, original dapat. Request na lang from your branch

Share ko lang yung itinerary namin ni bf. Aug 30 - Sept 4 kami.

Day 0 (Wednesday) - 9:30 Arrival at Incheon Airport
From Incheon to Seoul nag AREX kami. sa Klook namin binili yung tickets.
11pm check in sa KPOP residence Myeongdong. okay naman yung hostel. malinis, modern pero medj maliit yung room pero pweds na.

Day 1 (Thurs)  - Everland (sa Trazy namin binili tix may kasama na din bus transfer. less hassle kesa mag train kayo papunta everland. hanggang 6:30pm kami dun. sakyan niyo yung T express. isa yun sa sulit na pilahan)
after everland ikot ikot nalang sa myeongdong

Day 2 (Friday) - Petite France and Nami Island. (sa klook ko rin binili with bus na din para less hassle. 2nd time ko na pumuntang Korea kaya medyo hindi ako na excite. si bf lang ang first time. Sa nami mas ok pumunta kung malamig or autumn. kapag summer hindi masyado maganda. para ka lang nagpunta ng eco park dito satin without the seqouia trees. haha!)
Hongdae - dito okay dito sa area na to. puro mga bagets dito. dami kainan shops and bars. kain kayo sa meat-ing sa hongdae. mura lang parang nasa 630 pesos meat all you can na. dami meat na pagpipilian.

Day 3 (Saturday) - Insadong > Bukchon Hanok Village > Changdeokgung Palace and Secret garden > Watch Fanta Show

Insadong - dito ako bumili ng magnet, spoon and chopsticks. dami art galleries dito. kung di naman mahilig kahit wag na puntahan. dito lang kami kumain. walking distance lang to going to gyeongbokgung palace and changdeokgung palace.

(hindi na kami pumunta sa gyeongbokgung palace kasi nakapunta na ako dun and medyo tamad ako itong araw na to haha)

Hanok Bukchon Village - nilakad namin from insadong papunta dito. maganda mag pictorial dito lalo na kapag nag rent kayo ng costume nila. nakalimutan ko na tawag basta yun yon. haha

changdeokgong palace and secret garden - sa secret garden oks lang so so lang. akala ko kasi mala garden talaga na madaming flowers. pero hindi pala.

after nito uwi hotel pahinga then kumain sa yoogane. maraming yoogane. kain kayo dito. order niyo cheese chicken galbi. ang sarap hahaha

Nanta Show - ito medyo nabored ako dito. nanuod kasi ako before dati ng bibap show and sobrang naentertain ako don kesa dito sa nanta. mas ok mag bibap show kayo mas comedy haha

Day 4 (Sunday) - Ewha > Hongdae (again) > Itaewon > Dongdaemun

Ewha - dito ako nagshopping. mas ok mag shopping dito mas mura and mukhang gawa naman sa korea (sana) haha mas marami shops pang babae kesa pang latakia

Hongdae - malapit to sa ewha kaya pinuntahan ulit namin

Itaewon - dito kami nag dinner. sobrang good deal yung nakainan namin. Fountain name ng resto. actually hindi siya resto. parang bar siya pero may food din. 50 pesos lang pasta nila for real! every sunday yun ang promo nila haha. pero mahal ng drinks kaya wag na kayo mag drinks lol. sobrang ok din ng ambiance. dito sa itaewon madami foreigners dito tambayan nila and isang street sya na puro kainan pubs and bars.. ok din pumunta dito. itaon niyo na dinner.

Dongdaemun - sayang oras naming dito. jusko kala ko mura dito. hindi magaganda damit mahal pa tas parang galing china talaga. parang mukhang baklaran ganon. pero andito yung dongdaemun design plaza. di na kami pumunta pero nag pic lang. astig parang spaceship haha

last day (monday) - ikot ikot nalang around myeongdong and bili ng makeup. bumili ako sa missha ng cushion. naka 50% off. pag punta ko sa kabilang store ng missha hindi naka 50% off. so hindi lahat ng store parehas ng promo. partida same area lang yun.
4:30 - balik na ng incheon airport via AREX

madali lang mag train sa korea. parang hk na train lang.

[ohcmon]

Just got our visas today! So happy. Medyo nervous pa ako baka hindi ako ma-approve because my ADB nasa 7k lang.

[blackgreen]

[brandi]

Half hearted na ako tuloy yung trip ko this November dahil parang ang gulo ngayon and nakakatakot kasi parang di safe. Excited pa naman ako dahil ang ganda ng colors ng autumn...

[o9kristin]

Hello! Question regarding visa.. So my hubby is employed but I am not and our money is deposited in my account. He tranfers all his salary to my account and yun yung savings namin. Will that be ok? Or do you suggest that I transfer some money to his account din?

[ohcmon]

^^^ Thanks, sis! Will check them out. Sana safe pa magpunta dun next month since medyo mainit ang NoKor ngayon hehe.

^ You may submit just one bank statement and one bank certificate for you both, just attach your marriage certificate. Indicate na lang on your application form that hubby will be shouldering your expenses. That's what I did for my parents and they were given visas naman.

[kenoy]

can you guys help me.. I can't seem to access the official website of Korea, di ko tuloy ma download yung VISA application form. PLEASE HELP

[sweetmom]

Hope someone can respond to this inquiry.

I'm planning to bring my aunt's son (15 y/o) with my family when we visit Korea this Jan. My aunt is unemployed and I'm actually the one supporting her son (education, etc). He already travelled with us in Malaysia and Dubai withtout my aunt. We always bring him with us wherever we go since we treat him as our son na din. Not sure though how to apply for his Korean visa.

Need your insights. Thanks ☺️
