An optional requirement in applying for a tourist visa to Korea for Philippine passport holders is the invitation letter. It is called ì´ˆì²ìž¥ (cho-cheong-jang) in Korean and is available at law offices (not office supplies stores). I’ve been receiving emails asking for a sample of this invitation letter. The one I have is four pages including the cover page. I just scanned the cover and the second pages. Click on the images below to enlarge. Remember, it’s an optional requirement and even if you have the invitation letter it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll receive a visa!

I can understand the need for an invitation letter if you are coming here as a tourist but what I don’t get is trying to get dependents to come over, what’s up with requiring them to submit an invitation. Like you said in your other post getting into the R.O.K is more difficult than getting into other western countries.
^^ tell me about the required re-entry permit for F-2-1 visa holders (korean wives)!
hey!betch,I just dropped here in your blogs and read a lot of interesting stories and sites.One day i will come and visit you in korea.Mmmm…I missed our groups in korea.Okay, so long amiga.Buona giornatta!!ciao!!ciao!!a kiss
Hi, I met this Korean guy and he is planning to invite me to visit Korea. Now my question is, eventhough I have this invitation letter, do they still need the other requirements you mention to your other blogs like ITR, bank account saving etc?
I am just concern because I already send my copy of passport and other IDs in Korea to process my visa.
Thanks, hope you can help me..
@Jouls >> yup, you still need all the other requirements… an invitation letter is just an optional requirement
@ hanna quey >> hey we miss you… hope to see you soon here
this is really helpful. thank you. my student is planning to invite me to korea. im excited yet anxious whether im gonna get the visa or not. pls pray that i get one. really wanna visit korea! btw, what are my chances of getting a visa? what would make one get a visa and the others denied?
Gooday,
i stumbled on this site just now,while trying to get some informations,but i dont know you particularly strike me….i believe i need to know you…i see you are follower of christ,teacher and blogger….
At his feet

^^ hi! i hope you could get one. your chances really depend on your current status. it’s just like applying for a US visa, you’ll have to prove that you have a stable job and that you’re not gonna overstay when you come here.
Hi Betchay! Thanks so much for all the helpful tips and info you provided me.
God bless you!
betchay, i’m working here in korea with E-7 multiple entry visa.
regarding dependent visa application, which is easier
1. I will apply here for a dependent visa, or
2. Get tourist visa in Philippines (for my wife & son), and upgrade it later to F-3 visa when they are already in Korea
Thanks
like you said get tourist visa in the phils. for your family right..

guys need help here
are you a filipino married to a korean woman? rare…
anyway, you just need to send your parents an invitation letter. the other documents will not be necessary, based on my experience. but it would still be best to ask the embassy.

I wanted to invite someone from Philippines here in Korea. I am here on a D-9 visa. I have all legal documents for working here, alien card.. all necessary. When I called the Korea Embassy from Manila they said there is no way a philippino can get tourist visa.Even with invitation letter it is impossible for them. they have to be married or need working visa. I dont understand this bullshit. This is total crap. Btw.. this thing took place on 10 january 2009. Maybe in the future they will change their mind and be more gentle with the countries around them. If someone really get tourist visa tell me how he / she proceded.
hi pwede po ba malaman kung papano pagpasok sa korea ng mai invitation letter mula po sa boyfriend na koreano?at pwede din po malaman kung ano anu ang requitments?salamat po

Hi where in seoul or daejon or jeonju can this invitation letter be secured? Any law offices that you can recommend? How much does it cost?
Thank you!
Hi Ivy! Like in the post, you can go to any law office and ask for it. Only a Korean can make an invitation letter.
hi! i just wanna ask about my case…
i have my own business, i have DTI and business permit from city hall that i renewed last january (so i paid the city tax that time) but i don’t have the ITR from BIR.
would the business permits be enough or still no? do i still need to provide the ITR if i will apply for the visa??
thanks in advance for the reply.. ^^
Hi everyone. The invitation letter is a very easy thing to get. I called the Korean Embassy in Manila and ask them and their reply was that I have to simply write it and get in to a public notary to legalize it. You have to mention there your full name, where you work, who you want to invite, your relation with the person you plan to invite, the period of staying, about expenses… and by the way, anyone can make it not only a korean. Hope my gf will recieve a tourist visa. Good luck to all also
who should write the name of the invitee? the person who is inviting you to come over korea or the person in the seoul embassy? actually i already got mine but my name was written incorrectly! help
hello! I’m planning to get a tourist visa.. the invitation letter should be notarized in Korea or can be here in the Philippines? Should it be written in Korean or in English?
The invitation letter must be notarized in korea not in philippnes. And better to be in korean and english also.

pls tell me more thru my e-mail. thanks very much.
hi our korean friend is inviting us this coming feb–korean newyear holiday–2010–
id like to ask if its possible for her parents to invite us, since our friend is just a student–but her parents are willing to invite us too–since we always accomodate their daughter whenever she comes here–and visit philippines yes we are actually two(2) planning to go there–we would just like to ask if thats possible for them to invite 2 persons at the same time–anyway its just less than a week–
i would appreciate your response so much–

hi po.. please pakisagot naman po ang tanong ko… my plano po kasi ako pumunta ng korea this december… and balak ko na po magapply ng visa… wala po akong work since january so hindi ako makakapagprovide ng ITR and employment certificate… ang meron lang po ako ay US visa… bank certificate.. passport (which i have just renewed).. i have a korean friend, na currently staying in korea…. tinanong ko siya tungkol sa invitation letter at ito ang sinabi niya…. hindi rin niya alam kung paano gawin ang invitation letter… please help… kung ito lang ang requirements na meron ako, would it be enough para magkaron ako ng visa?
below yung reply ng korean friend ko regarding the invitation letter…
—————————————————
i’ve inquired some offices about the letter of invitation thing..
and it has to be sent from a company.. inviting you to attend a meeting or seminar or whatever company stuff….
an individual can not give or issue an invitation letter..
i asked the notary office and they told me that…
if i have the letter then i can notarize it and send it to you.
that’s all i could find about the letter.
if you found any other way to get a letter of invitation, tell me..
if it’s in korea, i’ll try to contact them..
really really hope you could come~~

And I have friends there to give me invitation. Anu po mabibigay nyong advice sa akin? Thanks po..
So negative.. It is infact easy to get a visa if you have a notarized invitation.
I can sense your arrogance from your replies..really.
By this time i guess you know tha koreans abhore that kind of “filipino mentality” that you have.
You shouldve learned from our culture.
is that for me? i’ve been waiting for someone to call me arrogant… even though i don’t know you, thank you very much 😀

im pregnant now and i want to invite my sister here what papers are needed?
i want visa invitation letter south korea,have some body can help me about that,i am ready to pay cost.
contrary to what few said that it is hard to get a tourist visa to south korea, i found it so easy. i was at the embassy at 7 am, i was first at the line. we got in at 8:45, submitted my documents, they gave me a claim stub. after 5 working days, i sent my secretary together with my id and authorization letter. thats it i was approved.
requirements for tourist visa are- application form with id passport, itr, bank statement, certificate of employment, photocopy and original passport. an invitation letter is just optional and need not be notarized. if youre job and employer is stable and your bank account shows well then you need not an invitation letter.
it wasnt hard at all they are not verifying bank and employer, why i said so? i ask our hr office if someone from the korean embassy called to verified my employment, they said no. I called my bank if they received a call for me from the embassy they also said no. i called a friend from korea and ask if someone from the embassy verified my association with him, he said none.
🙂 i am not saying here that we can submit fake docs, what if they make verifications and your docs are fake, then it would be over for you. i was just surprised i got an approval that fast.
and btw, a copy of your invitors passport must go together with the invitation letter, any form of letter will do as long as it states your submission to the immigration laws of the republic of korea. it must be stated there that your invitor guaratees and accepts relative responsibilities of your stay in korea, the purpose of your visit, your personal and contact details and the date of your visit.
ill have my first visit in korea on feb 18, i have friends there, if you want i could help you with it
hi there, with regards to the bank certificate, do they have a minimum monetary requirement of how much you have on your certificte?
in my case i have 5k usd on my account for an 8 day visit. so i guess, amount varies depending on how long will you be staying in korea. If you would stay there for only three days and youll be staying at a friend’s house then i think 30 or 50kphp would be enough. what matters most is your job here and that your invitors would accept responsibilities of your stay, then you do not need huge money in your account.
its just easy to get a visa as long as you submitted all the required documents.
and whats significant is that
*all types of visa to south korea needs an invitation letter.
i invited my bro.here last yr.i sent him P60,000,before i invite him i also called the korean embassy in phil.to ask how much they need,but they said they are not asking how much do u have as long as u have an acc.in the phil.so i sent him P60,000 and his visa was released thank GOD,he stay here for 4mons.and after ayr.i invite him again w/my sister this feb.4 their visa will be release,i will kip my finger crossed!!! hopefully they will survived the pressure in applying there!
Hi Lizel! As far as I know, Philippine passport holders can’t stay here for more than 90 days on a tourist visa. How could your brother stay here for four months? Just asking. I know that our kababayans (especially those with families here) would like to know too.
yes tourist (filipinos) are only allowed to a maximumof 90 day stay in korea
Yes, pwede pa pong ipaextend ng 1 month more, if kakausapin ung nasa immigration. Napaextend ko rin yung kapatid ko ng 1 more month after nung 90 days nya, explain nyo po yung reason and show po ng return flight ticket.
hello po,
may concern lang po ako,
how soon are you going to apply for the visa prior to your scheduled visit? is a month enough? or earlier than a month.
salamat po ^^
Hi, Hope you had a great trip.
I am hoping to go to North Korea later this year and would really apreciate your advice on obtaining the visa and specifically the invitation letter.
Many Thanks
hello apple. my student invited me to visit KOREA on august (all expense paid) but my problem is I don’t have an ITR because I am just working in my aunt’s company. so what is the best thing that I can do? i hope to here from you thank you.
hi! i caught from your comment”ill have my first visit in korea on feb 18, i have friends there, if you want i could help you with it”
does it mean you can help me to have an invitation letter for example??
i had been working as a factory worker in korea and come home to the phils. when i finished my contract more than 3 years ago,i had a lot of friends there and want to visit them but of course they are filipinos and couldnt give me an invitation letter:-(
if your dying to have an invitation letter from korea he/she should be a family of yours,becauce they will ask your relation w/the invitee.
an invitor should be related to you but not necessarily mean a relative or a family. invitors i think are reference to be used by the embassy for any illegalities of your stay there, so as long as the invitors would guarantee your credibility and would sign as your guarantor then anyone you know in korea could give you an invitation letter.
hi
im working as an english teacher in Korea and i wanted to invite my boyfriend over during the summer vacation. im from south africa and my bf is a pakistani citizen living and working in South africa. i called the korean embassy in SA and they require quite a few documents. one of these is an invitation letter from my employer. im quite confused because my employer is not inviting him, i am. i think we may have got our lines crossed but should the letter from my employer be a confirmation letter while the letter that i do work for them, verifying my address and contact details and should i submit a separate invitation letter? they also require a police clearance certificate and in SA this takes about 6 weeks! it seems like a bit much for a 30day visit..
Yes, me too.. Dying to get an invitation letter… and I’m also ready to pay the cost.
hello! ask ko lang.. wala naman akong relative sa korea, pero un mga friends ko ang nag iinvite sa kin.. pede ba un? may bank account naman ako at palagay ko ay ok naman ang laman ng accoutn ko.. kaso self employed ako so wala akong employer or itr… pero im a graduate school student… pede ko kaya gamitin un pagiging grad school student ko, if assurance lng na babalik ako dito? help help!! thanks puh!
hello everybody?
I am a businessman form Pakistan and want to visit south korea. Korean Embassy required Notrised invitaion letter and gurantee letter. How i can get these two documents. I am ready to pay all expencies and assure that i will not overstay.
Dear Betchay,
As I stated in other sites of yours I didn’t submit, ITR, BANK ACCOUNT, CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYMENT, SALARY, O.R. DTI, BUSINESS, PROPERTY , CREDIT CARD, zero money declaration. But, I was given a 59 days VISA eventhough, I just written 10 days.
Invitation letter to be notarized worth $50. and anybody could make one as long as you established a connection; how did you know each other. ( I’m the one who made the invitation -computer typwritten addressed to KOREAN EMBASSY business style and another address to me…a personal letter style with the signature of the korean ( only an invitation from a korean is required not from an american or filipino station or working there). My intention is only 10 days at least but to stay there? I love our country still even it’s so hot or wet. kkkkkkkk

Hi ms. betchay,
Hi ms. betchay,
i will be leaving for seoul june 1-4, i have heard rumors that korean immigration at the airport is really tough and might deny me entry even though i have a visa. Im scared cos i will be travelling alone because my korean friend will be travelling back to korea on may 4 (hes in the phils on a student visa). Before he leaves he will be writing an invitation letter (i did not need 1 when i applied for a visa cos i was on tour package) for me to spare me trouble from immigration. As he will be writing the letter hir in the phils, what are the necessary details to put in it? pls help, you can email me at aprilrae0109@yahoo.co.uk. I hope i could meet you in korea 🙂
Hi April! If you’re coming on a tour package, make sure to bring a copy of your itinerary just in case the immigration official asks for it. Make sure to dress presentably.
Hello everyone!
I just wanna ask how long does it take to apply for a tourist visa?how long does it take to wait to get the result?please let me know..thankz!<3
Hi there!i am planning to go to korea because i was invited by one of my korean friends..but i cant get an ITR coz im only a contractual employee in the company i am working..is it possible not to show any ITR to the embassy?thanks..
Hi Aeigh! You could try but if you read some of the comments made by those who did it before you, the embassy usually doesn’t accept incomplete documents.
Thank you Miss Betchay! So, i really need to have an ITR for me to get a visa?hmmmm, how long will it take to get a tourist visa?Could it be possible to have a one day process?please let me know..thank you.
Hello!
ask ko lang..magkano bah ang pamasahe papuntang korea?anu bang network ang pwede magamit ko don para magka communicate kami ng family ko through mobile phone?Smart/Globe or Sun?please paki answer..thank you!
Pierre
Bago ako umalis papuntang S.Korea, bumili ako ng roaming zim na smart… hindi gumana dun. laht ng filipino dun iyon din sabi sa akin.
Pinahiram lang ako ng korean ng extra cellphone nya.
pierre/gh:
cebu pacific sometimes offers seat sale to incheon. ung iba nakakakuha ng roundtrip for only P5,000++. aabangan mo nga lang and kailangan paunahan mag-book.
i disagree with gh, when i went to south korea last year, i used my smart line na naka-roaming. malaki nga lang ang roaming charges. you just have to check with your network provider few days before ka umalis para ma-activate yung roaming.
ganun bah?sana pwede globe dun kc globe users yong mga friends and family members ko eh..but anyways,cguro tanong ko na lng sa network provider ko b4 ako umalis..tnx sa info guys!:)

Dear apple, I and my friend intend to visit south korea on business sight seeing. We are both from Nigeria, though we are journalists. How can you advise us towards securing an invitation letter. or do you have any contact on who will assists us towards getting the needed invitation letter.
Hi Ms. betchay,
Thanks for having this blogsite regarding a very cool place called Korea. This is very informative and useful among all people eager to learn about more about this place. I’ve been a follower of this site a year now.
I’ve been issued before a UAE Visa and been through travels in south east asia and now I’m interested to visit Seoul Korea. I have in hand now all necessary requirements in appying for C-3 visa except for the invitation letter from a relative there. Is it really necessary to have the invitation letter for me to be granted a visa? I don’t want to assume coz it would be a waste of time and effort if my application would be denied (hope not). I’m hoping for your positive response regarding this. Thank you very much and more power.
Hello Ms. Betchay
i have a ticket already going to korea for 9 days this november 2010…but still i need to process a visa…is it ok if my boyfriend will do a hand written type of letter? and is it ok if he will state in the letter that i am his girlfriend?? Im afraid that the embassy might deny our request tourist visa….
reply would be much highly appreciated…thanks Ms. Betchay.
Hi MicsMics! GH said that the Embassy is stricter than before and they might not accept the invitation unless it’s notarized in Korea. Ask your boyfriend to go to any law office in Korea and get the invitation letter there.
ms. bechay dapat ba talaga e naka notorized letter kasi the one that I have ssubmiited was not, personal letter ng Korean frien ko but he do have cappy of his passport and the inner page of it (he spend vacation na kasi dito sa pinas)
Please let me know if this really matters…
Hi guys, ang maximum period of stay dito sa korea ay 90 days lng talaga kaya lng before mag expired yong visa mo pwede ka mag extend ng visa mo sa immigrition office korea tapos bibigyan ka nila ng additional 30 days para sa may mga korean relatives lng yon. thanks and more power

Hi,ask ko lang po,ok lang po ba na mag padala sakin na invitation letter is my american bf? but hes now working in korea (military base)or dapat korean national po talaga,TIA!!!
Ate betchay,
It’s me again. I posted a message on the other topic about getting a C3 visa.
Thanks a lot for the info you gave me,now I am completing the requirements for C3.
I have 1 more concern, since Im working as an Online English Teacher, my korean boss couldnt give me a Cert. of Employment (kasi they dont pay taxes cgru).
To replace my ITR, ngpagawa ako ng Financial Statements (i dont know exactly how you call it) sa isang CPA (acctg firm).
but, How about the Cert. of Employment?
Do I still need to show the embassy CoE or Financial Statements would do nalang? since, my boyfriend will be the one to shoulder my expenses while I stay there.
And when Im there, I will still be teaching online to help him kahit papanu and/or at least I do something while he’s at work.
P.s.My boyfriend sent me an invitation letter but it is just handwritten with his sign and calling card in it. I asked him to have the letter notified but he said that he asked the embassy in his country about it and said it’s ok.
I would really appreciate your reply.
Thanks in advance!
God bless everyone~ ^.^
hi po, ask ko lang po yung i have a girlfriend korean po sya and she send a handwritten nvitation letter pero kauuwi ko lang po galing korea last august as e-9 visa pero tapos ko naman po contract ko hindi po kaya magkaka-conflict kasi dati po akong contract worker dun
Hello good day po,

Thank you po
Hi Catalina! Sabihin mo sa asawa mo, magpadala ng invitation letter, copy ng passport niya at family register na nakalagay pangalan mo as his wife… padala mo mga documents na yun sa nanay mo kasama application form, passport at birth certificate at marriage certificate mo… (kailangan kasi makita ng embassy yung relationship ninyong mag-nanay)…. punta siya sa embassy at apply for visa… 3 days lang pag nanay…
gud day!gusto ko po mkrating ng korea pero wala ako ng itr only ah bank certificate at sa pastport ko may previous visa ako from japan but used na….may pagasa po b kng mkrting in korea?tnx po
hi ms betchay!gusto ko po mlaman kng may pagasa ko mkrating ng korea kht wala ko itr at invitiation,gusto k lng magtour with my kids,i only have a bank certifacate at preavious visas but used na in 7times..tnx
Hi Leah! Pwede ka naman makapag-tour dito basta may proof ka na kaya mong suportahan sarili mo. Yung isang kakilala ko, housewife siya so ang ginamit niya ay financial documents ng asawa niya.
Hello po,
Pwedi po bang malaman kung saang Law Office kayo nagpanotarize ng inyong sample invitation letter?
Kasi ang boyfriend ko po nagtanung sa law offices pero hindi daw nila alam.
Nagtanong din ako sa estudyante kong Korean Lawyer, pero ang sabi nya hindi daw available ang service na ito sa kanilang law office.
Thank you~!!!!

Hi Ms.Betchay, Thanks for running this forum and sharing usefull infos about visiting Korea.I myself would like to tour South Korea but the problem is..my reported salary in BIR is different from my actual salary. Confi matter from my employee. That is why I am exempted from Tax payment. ITR is one of the requirements in visa application. Any suggestion or help in regard to my very very big problem.

Hello Ms Betchay!
Ive been here in Korea for 2 years na and I want to invite my family this October. My mom has been here 2 times last year pero first time ng father at ng brother ko. Do you have any idea if yung invitation letter na papadala namin ng hubby ko is minsanan or kelangan separate?
Thank you!
Hi Arianne! Hindi kailangan, pwedeng isa lang ang invitation letter. Nung nag-apply ang mga ate ko, isang invitation letter lang ang pinadala ko kahit na yung isa ay hindi first time traveler.
Thank you Ms. Betchay.. Parang deja vu lang.. Naalala ko I had depended on your site for info for my own visa way back 2010… Thank you ulit! Youre always helpful.. 🙂
maraming salamat sa sagot mo ms betchay.. GOD BLESS YOU..
For those asking if OFWs can invite their relatives, the answer is yes. But it also depends on the OFW’s status here in Korea.
I was a holder of an E-7 visa prior to marrying my husband (who is Korean) and I was able to invite my mother and she stayed here for 59 days. The requirements I submitted to the Korean embassy in the Phils are the following:
1. my bank account
2. my employment certificate
3. my Alien registration card
4. Letter of invitation, signed by me and my boss (there was no need for me to authenticate this one as it was signed by my manager, which as I was told, gives the embassy an assurance that the invitee will not overstay)
Please note also that I only scanned these documents and sent it via email. the Korean embassy accepts even just a scanned copy.
For dependent visa of an E-7 visa holder, my other Filipino officemates processed the dependent visa of their spouse here in Korea. You will need to submit your marriage certificate translated to Korean and have it notarized. I think this one is easier than inviting them here as tourist then change the visa to dependent.
when I changed my visa from E-7 to F-2, it took the immigration office 6 months to approve it and after so many follow ups. We can’t understand why it had to take that long.
Pretty Len,
Even though you are exempted from tax, your company still submits your ITR to BIR and you can ask your employer a copy of this ITR signed by the head of HR or whoever is authorized to sign it. In the ITR, they also mention your salary. You can also ask an employment certificate from your company and request them to mention in the certificate the amount of your salary.
thanks for sharing that…
Ooops, I forgot to mention, the invitation letter must be printed using your company’s stationery, i.e., with its logo. You may choose to stamp the invitation letter (using your company’s stamp) or ask a copy of your boss/co-worker’s korean id. that’s all, no need to notarize.
hi banhee i need your suggestions if it is necessary in the certificate of employment the contact number of our employer since i am working in one of the biggest agency in our country so maybe they cannot identify all their employees…thanks…i need your response..
Hi bbgirl22!
If you’re going to submit an employment certificate, it must be printed using your company stationery that shows the logo and usually indicates the company’s phone number.
If your company is able to issue an employment certificate, that only goes to show that your employer maintains your 201 file and they can surely identify you in case the embassy calls them for verification. So i think there’s no need for you to worry about indicating the phone number.
Btw, if your husband is working here in Korea and you’ll be applying for a tourist visa on his invitation, submission of an employment certificate on your part will just be optional i guess (but he needs to submit his employment certificate issued by the Korean or Korea-based company). But the best way to be sure is to submit your employment certificate too.
hope this helps.^^
Ms. Betchay,
The information I shared is nothing as compared to what you have shared to us. I’m amazed as to how you patiently answer most, if not all of the questions posted to your every blog.^^

Why is it so easy for a Korean to travel to the Philippines to educate their kids and open a business to provide their family with a better future. The airplanes from South Korea to the Philippines is 80-90 percent full of Koreans traveling with ease to the Philippines and the same on the return flight to South Korea. Its so easy that the airlines base their fairs on the Korean holidays and other Korean events. it can be as much as 300,000.00 won increase. My point is, lets make this fair and as easy to travel to South Korea for the Philippine people. Thank you
Good day to you Ms.Betchay..na invite ko na po ang brother ko dito sa korea,next month po matatapos na po ang visa nya., pag uwi nya sa pilipinas pwd ba syang mag apply ng working visa sa agency?pero dito sya tutuloy sa aming bahay habang nag tatrabaho sya..inaasahan ko po ang inyong sagot,salamat..

Hi Jhay! They would usually not accept incomplete documents. In the new list of required documents, they listed DTI business certificate. You might want to try but they just MIGHT ask you additional documents, or maybe not. If you have properties, bring the title too.
i will be happy to have an invitation to help me visit your noble country.
An invitation letter is optional.

I am (Filipino) going to KOrea next month as a tourist, I am currently residing in Vietnam as my husband is working here. Now, I have contacted travel agents here to help me out with this and even contact Korean Embassy here but they have asked many documents which I am not sure about.
Would you mind to help me on what exactly the documents requirements are.

Hi miss Betchay, does the invitation letter need to be taken from cho-cheong-jang and notarized or a simple invitation letter e-mailed to me is possible? My uncle working in Camp Humphreys is planning to invite me to Korea but we don’t know much on how to secure an invitation letter. He has an American Citizenship and working for the military. Hope you could help me out. Thank you so much!
Hi Mads! The invitation letter is optional and from Korean only, but you could try to get a notarized one from your uncle.

I’m having a trip to Korea this coming November 2012 (10-18). The Korean Embassy in Malaysia required the invitation letter as posted in your blog due to I’m not applying in my home country.
Can you advice me on how to get the invitation letter? I really frustrated now coz I dont want to burn my tickets.. 🙁
Hi Hendy! You’ll have to ask a Korean friend to send you an invitation letter.
Sad thing is i don’t know any.. :((

Dear Betchay,
Thanks for the blog. It’s really informative. I have some query, can you please help me/ guide me for that?
I am Mayukh Mahapatra. I am currently working in South Korea. I am holding E7, multiple entry visa and alien registration card. Now my Baby have born last month in India and I want to bring him to Korea. When I contacted Korean Embassy, they give me list of documents that I need to submit for visa application for my baby. From the list, I could able to manage all other documents, other than below one,
Invitation letter (from my Korean Employee)
So, do my employee need to provide me ì´ˆì²ìž¥ (cho-cheong-jang) or company letterhead invitation will be fine. If it’s company letterhead, will you give me some sample letter for that same?
Thanks for your help and support.
Please mail me, if you need any more information or clarification.
