Korea (Thread 14)

[pt_2000mf]

^sis you only need to give them a colored photo copy nung harap ng card and original billing statement. hindi naman kita yung CVV

That's what I did and so far ok naman

Hi Sis.. ask ko naman meron ba akong kelangan I-blur sa photo copy ng credit card? I want to avail sana yung promo ng BPI gold eh.  Thanks..

@mysterioza_me: baka nga hindi updated ang website nila. nag-reply din sakin FB page nila, PhP 950 na nga raw. grabe noh! siguro kasi konti lang silang inaccredit na agency ng Kor Embassy.

[mysterioza_me]

^Hay so nagkatotoo na nga ang iniisip ko na malamang magsamantala sila sa fees since iilan lang sila na accredited. Sana kapag group may discount naman. Sa 5pax kami e, sobra-sobra naman yung total nun kung pang-gas, meal and other allowances ng staff na sasadya sa embassy.

how frequent ba yung denied visa sa Korea? It seriously seems like daming na.reject for Korea. hmmp I feel nervous..

Anyway, risking it here, I really cant do anymore...my profile:
No ITR as self employed
incomplete 2316 that cant be stamped sa BIR/ close to expiry
no alphalist when i was still employed
no business permit
no mayors permit
no DTI registration
No OECD visa

**adding**
No COE, not employed (freelancer)
No supervisors, only clients (not based in the PH)

I'm pumping up the bank account to more than 100k but none of those huge deposits, ADB is now more than 100k (a friend said na lakasin ko lang daw financial capabilities ko dito daw ako magcompensate)
and explanation letter ko puno yung A4 size paper!! lol 4 paragraphs!!! not notarized
-banking on my recent travel to Taiwan with history of visiting 4 others in the previous years.
no family declared in application if I'm going with family


Good luck to me.. *dies a little* I paid pa naman for the ticket. I'll just be as honest as I can... hahay waiting for the embassy to open... para submit na... 30 minsss

We so miss Korea! Gusto namin bumalik! 

May idea kayo sa break period for a "re-entry"? our last visit was february 2018.

sis wag ka mag-alala kasi my tita ang profile nya, retired, no history of travel and only 80k show money, na-approve sya for single entry.  my mom naman, retired, no travel history in the last 5 yrs, less than 200k show money, binigyan ng multiple entry maybe bacause naangkas sa profile ko kasi i submitted my bdo gold card.

[heavensent]

@minatay91 wala din ako ITR when I applied for my first visa, I just submitted and explanation letter. COE is also important, as in tinawagan talaga nila yung supervisor ko.

[minatay91]

@reivee

Ahh, may kasamang family member sis.. hehe ako kase I applied alone - no declared members, and wala din gold card, but I'm staying positive!

@heavensent

Thanks sis, I don't have COE!  I'm not an employee, I declared myself as self-employed pero sobrang kulang sa requirements... Wala silang matawag na employer sa akin... They can't actually call my "clients" because we don't have an employer-employee relationship.

Staying positive!

[heavensent]

^nasubmit mo ba yung docs mo sis? did they accept? are you using BPI or BDO Gold card? yung akin kasi unang file ko ayaw tanggapin kasi walang local contact number kasi client ko is based in Dubai, I had to return the following day with an updated COE showing my Supervisors landline number

pero wala pa kasi ako Gold CC that time

[minatay91]

^ yes, they accepted it sis na kulang hehe. Sabi pa niya complete daw! Must be the explanation letter.

I have a gold BPI card, but I only have a supplement card, it has to be the principal daw according to the bank. Aside from that, I don't have a BPI physical statement because online siya lahat.. they rejected my printed copy na PDF ... kase dapat certified true copy OR true copy. So they rejected my photocopy sa credit card, and my statements. =(

I don't have a supervisor or an employer.. so wala ako mabigay hehe na contact number about employment. I didn't apply as an employee or businessman, I checked "self-employed" but they gave me requirements as a businessman, so that's why dami ako missing requirements. T.T

[clueless_girl]

Hi sis, quick question lang. I have obtained a UK visa last year but that it a working visa for 1 year temporary assignment is it still counted for with OECD visa processing, i am reading kasi from different sites that it should be a TOURIST visa?

[reivee]

Mga sis, may nakasakay na ba dito ng airport bus N6001? Dating kasi namin ay 1030pm so malamang di na namin aabutan yung last trip ng airport express train. Wala pa kaming korean won. Tumatanggap ba sila ng credit card? Meron ba pwedeng mabilhan dito pa lang sa Manila ng won or sa airport dun ng mga ganung oras?

[minatay91]

I'll be claiming my passport today! trip ko next week na... huhuhu! Wish me luck!

[mysterioza_me]

^Omg sis isa ako sa naghihintay ng update mo. Goodluck sis! Aja!

Kami sis! Hindi ata sila tumatanggap ng card sis. sa NAIA 3 kana magpapalit ng won sis kahit pang bus+taxi lang. Kami sa BDO kami nagpapalit. 9000krw per person ang bayad sa bus sis. Nasa bandang Exit 5 siya. Every hour ang ikot ng bus sis kaya dapat pila agad kayo pagkalabas niyo kasi pag di kayo makasakay sa unang bus, one hour antayin niyo sa next bus.

@mysterioza_me
siiis!!
recap: Ito profile ko. I got approved!! hehe. Not sure if my travel history, explanation letter or bank account did it for me.

btw my ITR cant be stamped because my previous employer was based in MNL, and filed it sa MNL. As a result, my local RDO refuses to receive it.

Damn it BIR wtf why not. As if you cannot see the taxes I'm paying!!! Pero you can see all open cases related to a TIN? *rolls eyes so hard*

my profile:
No ITR as self employed
incomplete 2316 that cant be stamped sa BIR/ close to expiry

[mysterioza_me]

^wow sis buti na lang na-approved ka, nagworry ako nung mabasa ko profile mo. Dami kasi na complete requirements naman pero nadedeny pa. Bon voyage sis. Next week na alis mo di ba. 

[minatay91]

^

Mag.off shoulder2 na ako hehe (but with payong and sunblock!!)And you're right, parang mas complete ata yung ibang sisses dito.. kala ko kase iba yung reqts ng self employed at businessman.. they treat it as businessman. kaya dami kong missing.. so todo explain ako sa letter... na hindi required ito, blah blah hehe imagine nalang almost hindi ma.fit sa bondpaper... parang maalala mo kaya ang peg ko hahaha


@reivee
