Korean Visa: Application Process and Getting Approved (March 2017)

If you are also interested on my story on how I got approved the first time I applied, kindly click HERE.

As of March 2015, the Korean Embassy updated their visa requirements for Filipino travelers, you can see the complete list here. 

I'm writing another guide to aid you in applying for a Korean Visa and the first one I wrote is outdated already. I finally got the multiple visa *YES!!!* last November 2016 and I think what I did with this new application form (which is btw a little confusing) is somehow correct haha! I just guessed some answers, you'll see what I'm talking about below.

Quiet Hongdae Streets, cold morning, empty bottles. I was alone, enjoying the morning walk, feeling the cold, calm breeze... Footsteps were barely heard. "Ah, it's just me Seoul", I said to myself. I loved the silence, loved it to the point I wasn't minding the rain's drizzling.

BANG BANG BANG GIVEAWAY!

June 14, 2015
12:00AM

Hello VIPs, as promised here are the mechanics for the giveaway :) Before anything else, I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Bea Angulo and I became a VIP last August 2013. Most of you might be wondering where the hell I came from, hahaha! I usually attend heavy metal / rock concerts like Pulp Summer Slam. (That's why most of my friends were shocked that I was into Bigbang.hehehe)

While I was reading tweets when the announcement of tickets to Bigbang Made in Manila were made, I read that some fans were disappointed that it was too expensive and that they will be #TeamBahay again. Naalala ko yung dati nung student ako, hahaha! (lakas makatanda nung line) I used to be always #TeamBahay din because my parents won't let me watch concerts, that's why I usually save my baon just to watch concerts during that time... So now that I'm working, I want to share the happiness to my fellow VIPs instead of flying to Singapore and watch Bigbang there also.

Enough of my introduction, haha I know you've been waiting for this already!
