I submitted our application to Rakso in Makati last Thursday and they submitted it to the Embassy on Friday as per checking sa portal. Hoping for positive result next week. Nakaka kaba maghintay and magcheck ng result sa portal. Hehe. Php 700 yung processing fee nila.

[bratty]

^sis balitaan mo kami, dyan ko din balak mag-pass ng application by Thursday. Thank you.

[shams]

^^ yes sis. Mag update ako this week.

[bratty]

Thanks! Sana may result ka na bukas kasi holdiay na naman sa korea ng Tuesday. Good luck!

[ms.G]

Ladies, help!! Malapit na ako umalis pero di ko pa rin naayos itinerary ko. Di ko alam kung siksik na ba ito o maluwag pa. Kung maluwag, baka pwede mag suggest na iba pa na pwedeng puntahan. Salamat.

Day 1  Sunday
Gyeongbukgong Palace
Gwanghwamun Square
Cheonggyecheon Stream
Insadong
Gwangjang Market for dinner

Day 2  Monday
Nami Island (c/o klook pero di pa na book)
Garden of the Morning Calm
Banpo Bridge (kakayanin ba?)

DaY 3  Tuesday
Changdeokgung Palace
Bukchon Hanok Village
N Seoul Tower
Namsan Park
Dongdaemun or Namdaemun for night shopping

Gusto ko din sana puntahan ang Haneul Park pero di ko alam kung san ko pa pwedeng isingit.

[ohcmon]

^ Changdeokgung and Buchon Hanok pwede mo na isama sa Day 1 sis since malapit sila sa Insadong. We did all of those in all 1 day, kaya naman. Para your Day 3 pwede mo na isingit Haneul Park before or after N-Seoul Tower.

Sa Day 2, kung sa Klook ka bibili, pwede ka nang bumaba sa Dongdaemun, merong stop 'yung shuttle nila dun. Not sure lang about Banpo Bridge kung kaya pa kasi 'yung kinuha namin sa Klook kasama 'yung Petit France.

true. secure a visa at the most, 3 months  before your travel date. for example, you were a granted a visa this october, your final entry will be on january 2019.

well noted, sis. thanks so much!

Day 1 -- Sis, pwede mo isama dito yung Changdeokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village. Isang araw lang samin to kasama yung Gyeongbokgung and Gwanhwamun Square. Yung Insadong namin, after ng palace tours, dito kami dumerecho kasi dito na kami nagdinner. Then last stop namin yung Cheonggyecheon Stream -- mas type namin sa gabi.

Day 2 -- Sa Klook kami bumili ng Nami + Gangchon Rail Bike + Petite France + Garden of the Morning Calm. 9PM na kami nakabalik ng Myeongdong, so I guess hindi kaya yung Banpo if ang habol nyo is yung lights show. Yung Banpo sinama namin sa day na nagLotte World kami.

Day 3 -- Kung imo-move mo yung Changdeokgung and Bukchon sa Day 1, masyado na maluwag yung Day 3 mo kung Namsan lang and Dongdaemun.

Baka gusto mo consider tong mga places na to:
> Ewha University -- pwede mo na din ibundle pag nag-Hongdae ka or Univ belt area.
> Deoksugung
> Myeongdong
> Everland (pero mukhang one day to if matheme-park ka)
> Gangnam
> Itaewon area

Feeling ko super old na ako / Tita levels na talaga for thinking na medyo nakakapagod at nakaka umay mag punta for 2 palaces in one day. Bukchon Hanok is okay lang to miss din for me.

@ms.G
When are your travel dates? Ngayong autumn ba? If Yes -- Secret Garden in Changdeokgung Palace yung vote ko

[ms.G]

^kachich will take note of that secret garden. yes, next week na ang trip ko.

barbillie and ohcmon thanks for your inputs.

transfer ko na lang ang  Changdeokgung sa Day 1 Bale 2 palaces to visit in one day.  Ang Bukchon di pwede isama sa Day 1 kasi Sunday yun at closed yata ang Bukchon sa araw na yan?? Tama ba?? Secret Garden na. 

Pwede ko din iswap ang Day 1 and 2 pero worry ko lang baka masyadong madaming tao sa Nami kapag Sunday.

Gaano ba kalayo ang Banpo Bridge from Myeongdong?  Kung di pwedeng ihabol ang Banpo after Nami, Dongdaemun na nga lang siguro gaya ng suggestion ni ohcmon. Pero sana pwede talaga ang Banpo. 

Super luwag na ang Day 3. Pwede ko ba pagsabayin ang Namsan Park, Hanuel Park, Hongdae at Itaewon?

[ohcmon]

^ Parang kahit anong araw naman maraming tao sa Nami. We went on a Tuesday pero jampacked pa rin.

Pwede 'yang Day 3 Haneul Park, Ewha, Hongdae, tapos ihuli mo na lang 'yung Namsan Park para you can do last-minute shopping pa in Myeongdong afterwards.

BF and I are in the same company and sabay din kami nung nagstart sa company. We have previous travels na for the past 5 years pero non oecd lahat and both passports are renewed, yung mga stamps ng previous travel was on the old passport. I put the countries dun sa travel history kahit na wala na yung stamp. I even asked Rakso if need ba nila copy nung old passport to support din dun sa application but no need naman na daw.

Anyway, hoping for a positive result for BF. Sana tomorrow meron na. Thank you po sa mga naghelp when i asked question regarding on the visa here.

[bratty]

^thanks sis... Multiple entry ba binigay sayo considering may BDO gold ka? Thanks!

[shams]

^^ di ko pa sis alam e kasi sa portal ko lang nacheck pero sana multiple din. Hehe. I'll post again once nakuha ko na yung passport sa agecy.

[crzysxycl]

^Pag may BDO gold cc pala mas mabilis ang processing? Nice!

[shams]

^^ based sis sa mga na backread ko parang sa window din ng may oecd visa nila pino- forward kaya 3 days processing din. Hehe. Its for both BDO & BPI na promo.

[bratty]

Thanks sis Shams

[mrs. sweet]

Pag may BDO/BPI, need pa bank statements or ITR (forgot which)? Dati kasi pag direct sa Korean embassy d na need either of them. YUng CC statement na ang kapalit.

Expiring na next year ang visa namin, need to renew.

[shams]

^Hi sis, bank certificate and ITR yung exempted to submit but still need to submit the bank statement.
