KOREA 2014: Getting a Korean Visa (UPDATED!)

One reason I haven't updated this blog is because I went to Korea last November 3 and stayed there for a week. 3 months of preparation (which is not enough, I think) and add to that my dilemmas in my other courses. Anyway, here's the 1st part of my 'KOREA 2014' entry, which is prior to my trip.

DISCLAIMER: Most of the things you're going to read are purely based on my experience and according to the Korean Embassy. I had a different case in the sponsorship requirements and this tour was made possible by our school and of course the program I'm in. In addition, I posted this because I love my friends. Haha

So you've already booked your flight, accommodation and planned your itinerary in Korea. But were you given a Korean Visa?

It's not that hard to be granted a Korean Visa, unlike if you're applying for a Chinese Visa, or even Japanese. That's according to my Chinese friend, which I have proven to be true. Korean tourism is on full promotion here in the Philippines (which means they are attracting tourists) so as long as you submit the correct and authenticated general, specific and additional requirements in the Korean Embassy, and if you did not violate their laws, you do not have to worry.
