Korea (Thread 13)

[esor]

^ I agree din na hindi sa laman ng bank cert/bank statement sila nagbabase,
mas tinitingnan nila yung ITR and COE.

Mag renew ako ng visa this March, update ko na lang kayo 

[mysterioza_me]

^Sis totoo yan, base sa nababasa ko yung iba 25k lang daw laman ng bank account nila pero naapproved pero yung iba 100k di naaapproved and also maski nakavisit na sa countries na part ng oecd possible pa din ma-deny. And I agree na NO-NO ang pagdeposit ng malaking money na hindi mo naman normal na ginagawa. Yung kakilala ko ganyan nangyari. She borrowed money from someone (pangshowmoney lang ba) and deposited it to her acccount 2 weeks before her application ayun denied siya. Higit 5yrs na siya sa company na pinagttrabahuhan niya. And travel agency pa naglakad ng visa niya.

Mga sisses, one noob question. Kailangan ba talaga isulat lahat ng napuntahan na countries within the last 5 years? paano kung di enough yung space? And dito kasi ako work sa qatar ngayon so di need ko pa din ba include ang qatar? magsasubmit na ako mamaya ng requirements dito sa korean embassy sa qatar. i'm a little tense. Naooc ako sa pagfill out ng application haha.

@ms_jandel,
may i know kung ano profile ng friend mo? usually kasi yung mga hindi na-approve is walang ITR and walang work here sa pinas. mostly, yun yung nababasa ko.

My friend is working in the government, sa LGU, for more than 3 years na. She had 60k+ sa account niya, her ADB was 37k ata. Yung account niya she had when she was still in college, DBP Savings account and every month siya nagdedeposit. Her salary is nasa 10k+ lang though.

The reasons why I think she got denied is:
1. Mababa yung salary niya for a 8-day stay in Korea.
2. She deposited 10k 2x, a week before she got her bank cert. Usually 5k a month lang deposit niya.
3. The embassy might have called the office pero since LGU and sa province to, baka hindi nasagot or walang signal that time.
4. Wala siguro sa mood ang consul. Ewan ko sakanya. Kaloka siya.

Not sure dito ha? Eto lang feeling kong reasons. Theory ko lang to sis. heheh

Sis mysterioza_me ako din sis. Nagbabasa kasi ang ng logs at wala akong makitang pattern or whatever eh. Kaya hindi ko maintindihan. Pero isang factor talaga for me yung malaking pasok ng pera before magapply kasi magtataka sila saan galing yun. Concern sila sa financial capacity to fund the trip.

Sis chinablue nilagay ko yung amin lahat kasi mga 6 countries lang naman. Pinagkasya ko nalang siya dun sa space sis. hehe

[mysterioza_me]

^Wala ngang pattern kaya mas nakakakaba

[kachich]

@chinablue Place it in a separate page if hindi kasya, but what I did when I applied last time was combine the countries per month and year, example:
Netherlands, France April 2017
Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary May 2017

@MS_JanDel I think 10k salary/month for an 8 day stay does not justify being able to travel abroad in the eyes of the consuls. Usually, a day's expense (at least for them) is about 100usd, so that's about 40k na, that's a third of her yearly salary. Maybe tell your friend to get BPI/BDO Gold na lang if she really wants to go to Korea.

[MS_JanDel]

Sis kachich yan din naisip ko sis. Maybe a 4-day stay is much better. Hindi ko naisip na iklian nalang yung nasa application form niya eh. Natakot kasi ako magsinungaling. Maybe next time yun nalang gawin niya.

^Grabe sis eh yung -2 prediction nga sa amin kinakabahan na ako. hahahaah

[annd]

kinakabahan ako.

sabi ng friend ko (second time niya sa korea, sure naman daw ma-approve dahil ok naman daw profile ko)
well, praying and hoping na sana nga ma-approve. bukas na kami magpass at sabi, after 2 days may result na as long as may oecd daw. e kabado pa rin ako kasi dami nadedeny. pero approved naman yung japan ko. yung dubai, nag travel agency lang din kami. sana nga meron na lang ako nung bpi or bdo para ok na application. hehe

eto profile ko:
salary - 3x,xxx
bank account - 84k
days of stay korea - 6 days
work tenure - 3 years +

we also passed complete requirements. di ako makatulog dahil dito. pag nadeny kasi ako, baka di na kami tumuloy. haha ayaw kasi ng friend ko na kasama yung isang friend. so baka irebook if sakali....

[MS_JanDel]

^Sis annd almost same tayo ng profile. How much adb mo? Approved ako sis. Basta make sure na walang discrepancy sa details sa application form and supporting docs. Tapos sis check mo sa online portal, makikita mo dun yung status ng application mo before mo pa makuwa ang passport mo.

[kabes]

flight namin sa march 3 via airasia. yung booking details ko, di nakainclude if anong terminal. wala din sa internet. would you know if saan ang usual terminal? waaaahhhh... super excited. mukhang malamig pa din duon.

[MS_JanDel]

^sis parang terminal 3. Yung terminal 2 kasi for PaL lang, yung Terminal 1 naman parang mostly long haul flights. Try mo tawag sis.

[annd]

^Sis annd almost same tayo ng profile. How much adb mo? Approved ako sis. Basta make sure na walang discrepancy sa details sa application form and supporting docs. Tapos sis check mo sa online portal, makikita mo dun yung status ng application mo before mo pa makuwa ang passport mo.

hi sis, my adb is at 15k

my friend said na sure na ma-approve yun kasi may travel na kami sa japan before pa. e ayaw ko pa rin pakasigurado. thats why i told her to put on hold our hotel booking or reserve a hotel that we can pay na sa hotel mismo. ayun. tomorrow na kami mag-apply. naexcite ako. sana approved

[MS_JanDel]

Sis annd sis make sure na consistent information ka sa lahat ng supporting docs and your application form and complete ang required docs talaga. I think yun talaga ang importante. Don't forget to photocopy yung Japan visa mo hehe.. What time kayo punta sis?

Kung wala pa kayo hotel sis anong nilagay niyong address and contact number sa korea sa application form?

[missreese]

sorry noob question.. ilalagay ko kasi mom ko sa emergency contact.. yung sa Relationship to you.. ano ba ilalagay dun? Mother or Daughter? haha sorry na.

[gquind_rn]

Mother sis

Hi, any recent applicants who availed of the BPI/BDO Promo who did not submit their bank statements?

Am just confused with the requirements that are exempted. Nakalagay kasi na no need to submit ITR and Bank certificate. Pero yung Bank statement hindi naman nakalagay na excluded.

[forumera]

^ I've been reading and searching about BPI/BDO x Korean Visa promo and I think, even with BPI/BDO CC, one still needs to submit Bank Statement etc. So sa ITR and Bank Cert lang exempted.

I will soon apply using BPI CC habang fresh pa yung Japan Visa namin ng son ko at bago mag expire ang passport namin para nasa isang passport lang si Japan at Korean visas, hehe, lakas maka claim na maaapprove e haha

[starchaser18]

^thank you sis!
Plan ko din na mag-apply na ng visa by monday, kaso hindi pa din dumarating yung credit card statement ko. Expected na dumating bukas or friday.
