South Korea Travel Forum

I just wanna asked on what is the process on how to apply for a visa to go to South Korea? And what are the requirements. I hope that its not strict like the Japanese Embassy.

Thanks!

I went to South Korea and did not need a travel visa. If you intend on staying more than 2 months, I think you do need a visa.

You would need to go to the Korean Embassy in Manila to get information about that. Recently, there have been some issues with regard to Filipinos getting visas, and there has been a back-and-forth squabble. This was brought about by Korean businessmen who were being extorted by Filipino immigration officials, and Korea retaliated by suspending visas for OFW's.
Your best bet is to call and get current information.

what passport are you holding? if you're holding UK Passports and US passports, u don't need a visa. i'm not sure for other passports though. philippine passport holders definitely need a visa. present the passport, application form and most importantly your ITR.
