San ka located sis?

[blackgreen]

Mga sis who used bpi/bdo gold. How many months ininclude nyo na SOA as requirement? As per agency, 3 months daw? Thank you!

- yes, 3 months. Kung hard copy ang billing mo ok na yun tapos photocopy of cc, kung e-statement need ng certification from bdo

^buti pala ang JTV MOA sis @blackgreen naibigay sayo ang application number to check the status. in JTB BGC i need to call international pa since hindi naman sila sumasagot sa email.

-sis passport details lang ginamit namin pagcheck online

^^sis, when i applied my visa thru Rakso Travel, 3 months SOA din hiningi nila.

[Romans828]

Oh. Kasi I emailed Korean embassy to confirm, they replied that one month SOA is enough.

Translate the page to English na lang

[eischied_21]

^thanks sis.

Got my visa approved na, yey. Tanong ko lang mga sis kun bumili kayo ng Tmoney card or mas makaka-save kun bibili na lang everytime sasakay ka ng subway.

Single entry visa approved for my daughter
submitted the following docs:
Copy of my korea visa - got in singapore where I work
Philippine Bank - minimum amount 10,000

(sabi ng Pan Pacific in binondo atleast 100,000 daw dapat laman ng bank ko sa pinas,
si Travel Pros naman in SM the block dapat daw 200,000)

sabi ko hindi ako naglalagay ng big amount sa bank sa pinas kasi hindi naman ako dyan nagwo-work and not 100% securirty ng safety ng mga banko sa pilipinas.
sagot ni Travel Pros - hindi po kami tumatanggap ng minimum lang ang laman ng banko nyo.

taray ni ate! ahahahhaha.

wow 10k lang ok na sa visa requirement to SK

[mysterioza_me]

^Sis may visa na kasi si Obachan na inapply nya sa SG, sa pagkakaintindi ko yung daughter lang niya ang inapply niya ng visa dito sa Pinas. If minor si daughter, malaki possibility talaga na ma-approved maski 10k lang laman ng Phil Bank account ni sis Obachan. Sa pagkakaalam ko wala pang child/children (if minor) na nadeny kung may nauna ng approved visa ang parents.

Hindi porke malaki ang bank account approved na. Dami post sa Pex ang lalaki ng laman ng bank accounts pero denied. Mas importanteng factor na hindi ka makitaan ng chance na magt-tnt dun.

Is it safe to travel solo to Korea?

[houseofmagness]

Is it safe to travel solo to Korea?

Yes, my first trip to Korea. I traveled solo and it was my birthday. I met some new friends and I discovered traveling alone. It's good for the soul. 

[eischied_21]

hello, may question lang...not sure if I will take bus or AREX from Incheon airport. If AREX, ang last stop is Seoul station, then from there transfer to subway. My hotel is in Hongik University. Mahaba ba ang lalakarin if magtansfer ng train from Seoul station to Hongik Univ station. Thanks sa sasagot.

[ohcmon]

^ Kung mag-subway ka, baka mahirapan ka kung marami kang luggage. De-hagdan 'yung mga entrance/exit sa subway hehe.

Tanong ko lang mga sis kun bumili kayo ng Tmoney card or mas makaka-save kun bibili na lang everytime sasakay ka ng subway.

Mas mura yata 500 or 1,000 won? 'Di ko na maalala hehe pero mas okay T-money kahit walang discount, hassle kung bibili ka pa every time you will ride the train.

[Romans828]

Nagsubmit na kami application sa JTB BGC last Friday. Accdg to the, 10-14 working days na daw ngayon kasi peak season. Totoo ba ganun katagal before malaman?
Or I can check the status online naman, after 5 working days?
Hoping umabot kami kas April 5 sana target date ng alis namin.

[eischied_21]

^^ thank you sis. sabagay mas hassle nga kun bibili ka everytime sasakay ng subway.

Still thinking if I will take bus or AREX from airport to downtown Seoul though

[chinablue]

^taking the arex is less expensive than taking the bus but the latter is more hassle free. no need for transfers. if you have luggages with you, it's much better to take the bus. ang hirap din kaya maghila hilanng maleta sis. ang lalayo ng distance na lalakarin mo.

[mysterioza_me]

^True sis. Ang hassle magsubway with luggages. Naexperience namin nung MagSokor kami, ang laki pa naman ng luggages namin 😭

[Obachan18]

 sis @ mysterioza_me  Myeongdong hotel namin at AREX ang na-book ko going to our hotel.
laki pa naman ng luggage namin 
advantage lang sa AREX - mabilis ang byahe.

[barbillie]

^^Anong financial docs ng MIL ang sinubmit ninyo? Ang land title or any property docs dedma ang embassy. Mas ok if financial statement niya or affidavit of sponsorship kung kayo magfinance ng trip niya.

Wala sis -- wala syang bank account, pension certificate etc. Kaya land titles lang ang sinubmit namin. And yun affidavit of sponsorship lang namin yung naguarantee sa expenses nya.

[barbillie]

April 14-20 kami nasa SK. May aabutan pa kaya kaming Cherry Blossoms?
