A lot of the documents in the list were not required when I applied for the F-2 visa almost eight years ago. Aside from these documents, the Philippine government also requires that a Filipino married to a foreign national should attend the CFO seminar.

    1. yep.. a lot of new requirements,,, parang ayaw na kmi papuntahin ng korea… mis ko na husband ko

  1. Yikes, super-dami naman ng requirements. OK lang kung madali lang lakarin yung docs. Pero some of these requirements take time. Lalo na yung sa Philippines. The couples have to coordinate and plan for all of these things para maayos nila. Sa paglakad pa lang ng requirements parang litmus test na for the couples.

  2. maybe you know or you have the idea on processing divorcement here in korea or in philippines…i hope you can help me thanks…

    1. HI! If you’re a Filipino citizen, you cannot file for a divorce in Korea. Your husband should be the one to divorce you. If his petition is granted and you eventually got divorced, you’ll need to report it to the Philippine Embassy. You’ll also have to file a petition before a judge in the Philippines.
      If you’re a naturalized Korean, you could file for a divorce. You’ll need to file for a divorce at the Family Court.

      1. ay ganun ba un ate betchay… hirap pla,,,, cla lang m rights mag file ng divorce,,,, but hopin d na dumating samin un…. ate bechay pwede ko makuha contact number mo.. para pagdating ko jan korea pwede kita makontak… kc dami ako nbalitaan s ibang nkpangasa ng korean… un iba d pinalad,, but hopin d ako isa dun… but im still praying for those pinay suffering on their husbnd… pls ate bechay.. tnk u and more power.. hope to see u soon…..

  5. i just want to asked, if there is a requirements regarding in how many days the korean man will stay here to get a korean visa?
    Is he still appying a visa if ever he stay here for 8 days?

    1. Hi Judy! Sorry I’m a little confused with your question. A Korean does not need a visa to the Philippines if he stays for 21 days or less.

  6. Hi Ate Betchay,
    With the Korean’s Certificate for marriage Guidance Program, is it available here in Phil since my husband is staying in Phil for over a year now.
    Thank you.

    1. Hi Kim! I honestly don’t know so it will be best for your husband to call the Korean Embassy.

      1. Hi Ate Betchay,
        After calling Embassy, my husband doesnt have to attend the Guidance program as well as the Police Clearance because his been staying here in Phil for over 3yrs.

      2. hi miss betchay ask ko lng po kung ilan taon ako makabalik sa korea kc 5 years po akong tnt tapos po nahuli ako nung august 2011. tapos po umuwi po ung bf kong koreano nagpakasal po kmi nitong april lng 2012. pls reply po

  7. Hi Betchay, I just recently got married to a Korean guy in SEOUL. ( Christian wedding ceremony) We are planning to register our marriage. The problem is I have C-3 visa. Is there a way to extend my visa or change it to F-2 visa while I’m still in SEOUL? THANKS!!!!

  15. Hi po ms.betchay..
    Thanks for all the info..
    I got my F21 visa last June but I had to come back dito sa pinas after a month.
    I am planning to go back sa Korea after 8 months..
    Should i apply for F21 visa again?
    Are the requirements the same?
    Ano po yung F6 visa?I heard it’s the new F21 visa?
    Shoukd I apply for F6 visa instead?
    Thanks po..
    I’m very confused sa papers..

    1. Hi Joy! As long as your F-2-1 visa is valid, you don’t need to apply for the visa again. You’re also exempted from re-entry permit as long as you don’t stay out of Korea for a year. Yung F-6 visa ay bagong spousal visa (which will replace F-2-1) pero hindi pa siya in-effect. Mga late 2011 daw iimplement.

      1. Hi Ms.Betchay.I think medu malabo pagkastate k ng situation k.Bale I got my F21 visa last June 2011 pero umuwi ako ng pinas after a month.something urgent came up po.so in that case,hndi na po valid visa k po diba?I am planning to go back after 8 months..ano pong kailangan kong gawin?Mag aapply poba ako ulit ng F21 visa?kasi umuwi ako ng pinas after a month lg.thanks po..marami po kayong natutulungan..God bless po.

      2. Hi po Ms.Betchay..I think medu malabo pag ka state ko ng situation k..Bale pumunta ako ng Korea last June 2011 under F21 visa pero umuwi ako ng pinas after a month without re entry permit..I am planning to go back to Korea after 8 months kasi nagtatrabaho Korean husband k abroad.What should I do?should I apply again for F21 visa?kc I think po hindi na valid ang visa k..tama po ba?kc I only stayed in Korea for a month lg.sana matulungan nyo po ako..thanks po..

        1. Hi Joy! As long as hindi pa expired ang F-2-1 visa mo at within one year eh babalik ka ng Korea, eh hindi mo na kailangan mag-apply ng visa uli.

          1. Hi po Ms.Betchay.Maraming salamat po sa reply..My problem is ma expire po by September ang visa k po.I am intending pong bumalik dun after 8 months pa po kasi my Korean husband works as a seafarer po.Ano pong dapat kong gawin in this case?Ms.Betchay maraming salamt po.Marami po kayong natutulungan.God bless you po.

        1. I went there last Monday, sinabi nila sakin kung ano mga kulang na documents, naipadala naman kaagad ni husband kaya last Friday nakapagfile din ako ng visa. Didn’t we see each other there last Friday? 🙂 We could share ideas Cherrie, since we have the same situations here… is it ok if I’ll ask your email? thanks so much…..

          1. sure no prob. hanahlee07(at)hotmail.com. i was there with my co-cfo attendees

    2. Hi cherrie,
      Nag file rin kami diyan ng hubby ko etong aug. 10 lang. Pinublema namin ung bank cert niya kasi galing siya sa bankruptcy. pero inaccept naman nila ibang docs namin. Wait nalang namin release ng visa.
      What number mo tawagan kita.
      Maricel

        1. ako din Cherrie, give me your number… I guess I added you on facebook… ako ung may hunggul na name…. kung ikaw un I hope you can send me your number sa FB or is it your number sa FB? nakita ko kasi may number dun….. 🙂

      1. hello po…tanong ko lang may required amount po ba ng bank certificate ng asawa?asawa ko kasi ganun din eh
        reply nman po please mag aapply din po kasi ako

        1. hi jessica,,, if ur still wondering how much should ur husband have in his bank ,,well as far as i know, there is no minimum amount,embassy just want to see at least how much at mga naging transacations also, and embassy dont say how much ang needed for the bank acct,

  17. Hi Po Ms.Betchay.Pano po malalaman ang expiration ng visa?is it the one stated po sa final date of entry?

    1. hello joy. expiration of visa (F21 is 90 days).once u receive ur visa u should use it within 3mos.then once u enter korea u should need to apply at the immigration for the alien card. (NOTE: visa expiration varies according to its classification).hope it helps ^^

      1. Hi Seul ah..Thanks for the reply.This is my dilemma.I went to Korea under F2 visa and stayed there only for a month and m here sa pinas due to some personal reasons.I want to go back there after 7 months.What should I do?Do i need to apply again for F2 visa?have you heard of such case?maraming salamat talaga..

        1. didnt u apply for alien card when u are in korea? if so, u dont need to apply for F2. But if u didnt, Im not so sure but I guess u need to re apply for F2 if u wanna go back to korea after 7mos. coz there is validation on it until 3mos lang…why don’t you call in the korean embassy for the clarification.. And dont worry I’ll try to ask someone about it:)

          1. Seung ah you’re an angel..Thank you so much.I wasn’t able to apply for an ARC..I am really anxious about my visa.I cannot go back there before the expiration of my visa because my husband already went on board.Medu tight ang schedule nya eh..Thanks seung ah..

  18. sobrang nakakainis ung koren girl sa embassy….. pinacheck ko sa husband ko ung papers ko before ako pumunta ng embassy to check kung tama at kung may kulang,,,, and then,,,, pinacheck ko ulit sa pulis inside the embassy,,,, at walang kulang,,,,i arrived 9 am,, nag antay ako untill 11:30am,,,at binalik sakin ang aking papers dahil kulang daw,,,, pinacheck ko ulit kay mamangf pulis,,,, nakatatlong balik ako that day kulang daw talaga ang documents,,, i ask what document ang kulang,,, pinaalis na po ako at nag intertain na ng ibang costomer,,, nag tanung nlng ako ulit dun sa pulis na nag aasist,,, sav sakin BUMALIK NALANG AKO BUKAS KC MAY TUPAK YUNG TUMATANGGAP NG VISA!!!! NAPAKANONSENSE NYA!!!! NAPAKAWALANG KWENTA NYA!!!!,,, NASAYANG ORAS NAMIN AND PAMASAHE,,,,KARMA NLNG XA HUMARAP, SOBRANG SAMA NG LOOB KO,,,,,

    1. saang window ka? kung sa window 2 ka.may topak tlaga yung babae dun.tas ang style nya pa is iipunin nya yung mga papers at pauupuin ka muna.tas tatawagin ka nya at kung may kulang ibabalik sayo requirements mo. kaya d nko bumalik sa window na yun

        1. Nagbibigay sila ng copy kung may kulang sa documents… ung meron akong kulang the other Korean high-lightened the documents that I have to provide.. tapos she filed all the documents and gave me a piece of paper na meron na ako, she even wrote some documents na wala dun sa requirement list nila….They are checking all the documents naman, kung ok na they accept it right away… when I came back everything was ok…. Just waiting for the visa….

  19. hello po. . .itatanong ko lang po mag aapply din po kasi ako ng f21 visa,kompleto n sana requirements ko kaya lang yung medical result ko po is positive daw ako sa Hepatitis B…maaapektuhan po ba nun yung application ko?ano po dapat gawin??
    one thing more may required amount po ba ung sa bank certificate ng husband?
    really need you advice 🙁

    1. hi jessica… accredited hospital ba ung pinagpacheck up mo? usually the doctor will suggest what u should do. kung kinakailngan magpagaling ka muna or what.

      1. Hi po, is it necessary na credited ung hospital for the medical if you are applying for f21? un lang po ba ang nirequire ng embassy?

        1. Hi Lei..The embassy has a list of accredited hospitals..As far as I know,ung cnabi ng guard sakin nun,ung accredited hospitals lang ang ina accept ng embassy.

          1. hi Joy, I have a copy as well. I went to one of the accredited hospitals mentioned, actually it was one of the biggest hospital in the Philippines,however; I was referred by the internal medicine doctor to get the tests needed at a diagnostic center since it would took time before I could get the results from their hospital. Therefore, my medical certificate is still from the accredited hospital I’ve been to, the thing is that the result was came from a diagnostic center. I am quite bother about it, because the embassy might not allow it and it would result to denial of my visa. I’m praying though. 🙂

      2. hi Jessica, are u a Hepa B reactive carrier?Some wud refer that to Hepa B Healthy carrier kc walang symptoms.Depende yan sa ibang tests aside from HBS AG screening. ilang test ang ginawa sayo at saang clinic o hospital ka ngpatest? Try mo mgpa second opinion sa ibang doctors, they’ll advise you to have complete test like HBsAG,Anti-HBs, Anti-HBc, SGOT, SGPT, ALK Phosphatase and even Liver ultrasound. there are 2 types of Hepa B kse, one is Acute and d other is Chronic. Hepa B is contagious through contact with an infected person’s blood, semen, or other body fluid. But, You cannot get hepatitis B from shaking hands with an infected person, hugging an infected person or sitting next to an infected person. Alam ba ng husband mo na diagnosed ka wd Hepa B? From what i know, ur husband needs to sign a weaver that he’s informed na may hepa b ka and ur fit to travel abroad. yung hindi lng ata inaaccept are those who have Sexually Transmitted Diseases like AIDS. i know someone who has Hepa B and she’s already in Korea now.

        1. alam nya po kasi itinawag ko na sa kanya. . .yungwaiver po ba kailangan may authentication?if ever meron san po nya ipapa authenticate?thanks a lot po sa reply 🙂

          1. hi Jessica, sori kse nsa province ako walang signal ang broadband ko. tama c Lei, kelangan c Doc na gumawa ng test mo ang mgbigay sayo ng result at yung waiver depende sa hospital kung irerequire nila ang waiver.ill add u sa yahoo messenger ko.

      3. opo accredited kaya lang ung nurse lang nagbigay ng result nagkaproblema pa nga po kasi sira yung printer ng hospital kaya sa labas pa nagpaprint…i dont which among the papers from my medical result yung pinaprint sa labas. . .may nag explain din na doctor bout dun sa positive daw ako sa Hepa b pero hindi ko un kilala kasi hindi nman xa ung nag medical sakin

        1. Hi Jessica, you better ask the internal medicine doctor sila ung mas nakakaalam regarding your situation. Meron ka bang doctor na nilapitan?, mas mainam kasi kung sa doctor ka muna lalapit before conducting the test, they are giving request kung ano ang dapat gawin sayo for the medical, pag nakuha mo ung result dapat ang mag discuss sayo ng result is the doctor who give you the request also. Iba kasi talaga ung kumukuha ng mga test dun sa doctor…. Sang hospital ka ba ngpunta?

          1. Sa Taguig Doctors Hospital po. . .nagpamedical lang ako dun tapos paka bigay ng result ang sabi kahit positive daw ako sa Hepa B binibigay pa rin nila result kasi embassy ang magdedecide kung iaaprove yung visa ko o hindi. kung gusto ko daw magpagamot sa kanila pwede din daw po kasi pag daw ok ung visa ko pwede din daw sa Korea n lang ako magpagamot. . .

    2. hello jessica..i saw your message dito sa blog…im also married to a korean and im planning to go to korea next year….we have the same medical case kasi….im also positive sa hepa b..i just wanna know what did the embassy require you to do after you passed your medical exam?? i really need your information..thank yoo jess..

      1. hi tricia,pasensya na ngayon lang kasi ulit ako nkacheck dito sa site.dito na ko sa korea ngayon bale may pinadala lng na sulat asawa ko nun regarding dun s medical result ko na alam nya situation ko at dito n lang ako papa check up ulit

        1. Hi Jessica,
          May situation ko now ay katulad syo dati. pa share nman po sa akin kung saan nag padala ng letter yung husband mo. sa Korean embassy ba o syo tapos ikaw nalang ang nag dala sa korean embassy? Nag bigay ka din ba ng waiver sa korean embassy?ulungan mo nman ako kung ano din ang dapat kong gawin… many thanks!

          1. hi jing..
            di ko makita comments mo. you said we had the same situation which means u got your F21 visa noon pero bumalik ka kaagad ng Pilipinas? kelangan ipadala sayo ng husband mo lahat ng requirements na nakalagay sa taas. tapos ikaw na mag apply sa embassy.http://embassy_philippines.mofat.go.kr/english/as/embassy_philippines/visa/f61/index.jsp click mo lang yan na link para makita mo mga requirements parang ulit ka sa simula. Pero ako hindi na required yung husband ko sa Marriage Guidance Program kasi meron na siyang Permanent Visa dito sa Pinas kasi he lives here in the Phil foor more than 6years.

        2. Hi jessica,
          Ang situation ko now ay katulad sa situation mo noon . Please share mo naman kung anong ginawa mo. saan nag padala ng sulat asawa mo sa korean embassy ba o syo tapos ikaw nalang ang nag bigay sa embassy? nag bigay ka din ba sa korean embassy ng waiver? Please I need your answer…Many thanks.

        3. Hi Jessica,
          Yung sulat ng asawa mo regarding sa medical ay direct nya ba itong pinadala sa korean embassy? o syo muna pinadala ang sulat tapos ikaw lang ang nag dala ng sulat sa Embassy?
          Maraming salamat .

  20. oh my! ang dami naman na ng requirements. sino po may internet phone dito kelangan lang sana namin ng fiance ko ng makakausap about sa pagaasikaso ng fiance-visa. ^^thankyou!

          1. Hi Maricel, how’s your visa? Hmmmm.. Sa November 23 ung releasing date ng visa q..

  21. Hi Ms. Betchay,
    After I get my NSO marriage certificate should I need to bring it again at KOrean Embassy for notarization after I send it to my husband in Korea? or should I send it directly to my husband? Kindly advise. Thank you. ^^

    1. Hello Chinny, when I got my NSO, I sent it directly to my husband in Korea. My husband and his friend was the one who translated it in hunggul, since it should be translated into hanggul. Then he submitted our NSO at their city hall. When he got our marriage history he had it notirized in Korea.

      1. hi there sis ask ko lang sana kung ano yung mga inasikaso niyo ng husband mo para makakuha ko ng fiance visa at kung mahirap ba? pinagiisipan kasi namin ng fiance ko kung kami na mismo yung magaasikaso o ipapaasikaso namin sa agency binabalak namin magpakasal this year.. hope to hear from you soon ^^

          1. yup.. can i gey your contact no or yung contact no. ng hsuband mo para makausap siya ng fiance ko if its not too much to ask from you..

          2. Hi Peachie. kami agency din nag asikaso ng wedding papers nmin hanggang sa visa kse we dont have time bcoz were both working.gusto ko nga kmi mismo mag asikaso kaya lng walang time so agency nalng.depende sa inyo kung saan mas easier

          3. yup.. can i get your contact no or yung contact no. ng hsuband mo para makausap siya ng fiance ko if its not too much to ask from you..hope to hear from you soon.. nakakastress lang kasi hindi namin pareho alam kung saan kami maguumpisa at kung ano dapat namin unahin.. hoping you could help us.. 🙁

          4. hi there sis kami nalang magaasikaso my mga pinagtanungan kasi ako na agency yung nagasikaso ng sa papers nila pero parang sila rin lang naman daw yung nagaasikaso bibigay lang daw samin yung list ng documents na kelangan.. hehe! sana hindi gaano mahirapan .. nakuha mo na ba visa mo sis? ^^

          5. Hi ate cherrie!
            Nasa korea ka na po ba? Pwede po ba malaman ung agency na nagasikas0 ng kasal nyo? Natatakot po kasi kami ng fiancee ko baka mapeke kami.. sa agency lng rin po kami lalapit..
            I’ll hope for your reply po…

  22. Hi,,Ms Betchay
    Itanong kulang po,,kung wala na poh bang interview sa Korean Embassy,,Kung mag apply nang F2 Visa.
    Thanks
    God bless us,,Indeed.

    1. Hi Diane,
      Depende kung saang accredited hospital ka punta. yung sakin 2k sa Ermita ako ngpamedical.

      1. Can i get the name if the hosp? Tsaka ano sinabi mo? Alam na ba nila anong test ang gagawin? Thanks for the reply

        1. diane,
          Try mo Taguig medical Hospital. 2k lang ata. basta korean visa kamo alam na nila. after 2-3 days makukuha mo na depende kung normal lahat.

      2. Paano po ba malalaman kung accredited ng Korean Embassy yung isang hospital? May list po ba ng mga hospital na kailangan po na doon magpamedical?

  23. tanong ko lang kung kelangan bang ichange ang last name ko to my husbands last name.nagtaka kasi siya nung sinabi kong ililipat ko pa yung name ko sa name niya.Sa korean practice daw kasi, di nililipat ng babae ang last name nya sa asawa nya.yung status lang daw ang pinapalitan.thank you.

    1. that right Meliza, Korean wives does not change last name when they get married.my passport is still my maiden name.no worries pg nag-apply ka ng visa.hindi nila tinitingnan yun.

  24. Thank you for this site, it helped me a lot… I hope that this site would help others as well…. God Bless us all……..

    1. Im so happy for you girl. finally, after the long wait makakasama mo na rin c hubby.sana ako din..

      1. Thanks Cherrie, I’m sure you’ll get yours too… I’m praying for you…. I’ll see you there… 🙂

  25. Peachie, Where do you plan to marry, sa Korea ba or sa Philippines? if it’s here you can do it easily, as far as I know kasi wala namang fiance visa ang bound to Korea, tourist visa lang…. Regarding the agency, it is much better kung you do research and ask other people what to do, pag agency kasi malaki ang bayad…. I did all the things by myself and my husband through research and someone who knows about it… pwede ka nalang magtanong sa embassy what to do first…..

  26. ask ko lng po ano ang pinagkaiba ng NSO Marriage Certificate tsaka ng Korean Marriage History Certificate issued within the last 3 months ksi invite po sna nmin mama ko dto sa korea,wait ko po reply nyo ASAP..mrming slmat po and more power

    1. Punta ka sa dong samuso and ask for kajok kwan-gye jung myongsa 가족관계증명사

  27. Hi po Ms.Betchay.Musta po?Is it alright po mag re apply ng F2 visa?Mine got expired and I wasn’t able to have it extended.Can I still use my Cfo certificate?wala naman pong expiration ang certificate di po ba?thanks po.Your blog is a huge blessing to many..

  28. hello po mag ask po ako dto po kmi sa pinas nng anak ko sa koreano.kso mo ung ank ko d2 ko pinangank sa pinas kaya di pa nka mngalan sa koreano tapos po biglang di ko na macontk ung aswa ko pno po kmi maka blik sa korea kng di ko na makausap ung aswa ko.antay ko po rply nyo salamat mo

    1. Hi Mariane! Kung hindi naparehistro ng asawa mo ang anak ninyo, eh hindi siya Korean citizen. Mukhang inabandona ng asawa mo yung anak ninyo. Hindi ka naman makakakuha ng F-2 visa kung walang sponsor na asawa. So kung pupunta ka rito, tourist ang aplayan mong visa.

  29. hi po maam betchay ano po kailangan pag mag apply po ako nng tourist visa.pra po pag kamarating ulit ako sa korea maayos nmin prblma ko sa anak ko kawawa po kc,maraming salamat po tlaga god blees po

    1. You can go to the embassy and ask for a copy of their credited hospitals. All the credited hospitals will be given to you if you ask the police men inside the embassy. 🙂

      1. thank you po. problem ko lang kasi Ms Lei nasa Davao me and to go to manila just to get the list is n0t very practical for me…i’m hoping someone would help me. thank you.

        1. Meliza, have you been to the embassy before?, kasi as far as I know pupunta at punta ka sa manila for some documents that you need to submit sa embassy, like legal capacity of your husband. If, in this case makakakuha ka ng copy from the embassy.

          1. actually we’ve been there already.sa requirements na nabasa ko kasi walang nakalagay na dapat accredited hospitals lang so akala ko pwede kahit saang hospital. nakapamedical nako dito sa davao nung pumunta kami sa manila..baka po yung hospital ko dito sa davao eh di kasali sa listahan.San Pedro Hospital po ko nagpamedical.

          2. Hi bean,tnt din ko eh,pakakasal din kami.natuloy ba kasal mo.balitaan mo naman ako oh.tinanong kaba sa kr embassy nung kumuha ka ng legal capacity kung naggaling ka ng korea.makikita nila yun record mo na tnt ka.balitaan moko pagkumuha ka ng visa sa embassy ah.kung pwede tnt or hindi.pag kuha ng legal c ano ang usually na titanong sa girl.help naman oh…

  37. have you heard the news wherein 3 pinays were held to depart for seoul this week? they posed to be wives of 3 korean nationals so they can work in korea…so sad about this…it was in the philinquirer news web.

    1. Like the others here have said, the Embassy has a list of accredited hospitals. I think it would be better to follow their recommendation.

      1. Thanks Ms Betchay..^^ ahmm Ms Betchay when my hubby and I went to Korean embassy for him to get his legal capacity to marry, I asked the consul if it’s ok if I will be having my medical in the province, he said it’s fine, they will verify it nmn din. But I’m confuse since they give a list of accredited hospitals.

  38. Hello po Ms. Betchay,just wanna ask regarding my visa(F21).I went to korea last april 14,2011 pero bumalik ako sa pinas because we decided na mag divorce ng husband ko.so divorced kami sa korea last june 2011 at umuwi rin ako june 29,11 sa pinas.but still kasal parin kami sa pinas(we got married sa pinas).hindi ko ipinasa ung divorce paperfrom korea sa philippine embassy.And now,nagkabalikan kami ng husband ko.
    So plan namin na bumalik ako sa korea.
    Nakakuha ako nang allien card 1 yr ang expiration.
    pwede ko pa bang gamitin to and we will just register our marriage again sa korea?
    or do i really need to get a visa again?
    Thank you and hope to hear from you!

  39. Thanks a lot for your response Ms. Betchay,i do appreaciate your blog and its really a big help for us to know some some information.More power and God Bless!

  42. hi ms. bethchay ask ko lang sana kung sa pagkuha ng medical certificate maselan ba sila or basta accredited yung hospital at saka ok naman yung results ng physical exam ok na?

  43. hello po….ate bechay..i got married a year ago to a korean man..im planning to go to korea as soon as he gets his job…and we already have a baby pero he’s too young pa…kaya hindi ko pa cya dadalhin there with me..i have a question po…kasi may asthma ako..makakaepekto po ba iyon sa resulta ng medical exam ko? pwede ko po bang malaman ang mga medical exams na kailangan kong ipasa? maraming salamat po!

      1. thank you po for the info ms. chinny,,im quite worried po kasi..bake hindi ako medically fit to go…have you ever heard of a visa cancelled because she didnt pass the medical exam? may mga kilala mu pa ba kayo na nakapunta sa korea kahit hindi nla napasa lahat ng med exam? salamat po..

        1. Hi Tricia
          Well, I’m not sure about that. Korean embassy verified everything before they give you a visa, and they have their sets of qualifications if they will approve it or not.

  44. Hi Guys,hi ate Betchay!I’d like to ask anyone who was able to get an F21visa for the second time..I had it this year and something came up and I wasn’t able to have it extended.So my visa expired last month.I’m planning to go back to Korea early next year..I hope someone can share with me who has successfully applied for the F21 visa the second time around.I’m kind of worried..Thanks!

  45. hi, just wanna ask if the korean embassy already gave a releasing date of your visa is that a guarantee that your documents are okay? Thanks!

  46. mam bechat gd morning po..may tanung ako po ng apply ako nung spouse visa noong set.20 tapos ang realese ay oct.12 ngayun pag punta ko don sinabihan ako blik ako sa oct.14 ky i verify pah daw nila..abu ebeg sabihin po?wait ko po rply nyu salamat po.

    1. Hi Niel.I read your post a month ago..I hope makuha mo na visa mo this time..If you don’t mind,I wanna ask you something..So did you pass the same requirements?Did you use the same CFO certificate?I wish you well Niel..I hope ma approve visa mo..

  47. Good afternoon.. My husband is a Korean. Nag-aayos po kami ng documents para sa CFO, medical certificate at spousal visa application. Kakakuha ko lang po ng NSO Marriage Certificate namin. Next step namin eh sa CFO. Ask ko lang po kung madali lang po ba kumuha ng Guidance and Counseling Certificate sa CFO? May nadedenied pa po ba dun? and ano po ang karaniwang reason?

  48. hi mj..opo lahat ng requirement kompleto po ako..may mga requirements dn ako na wala jan sa lista nila kasi humingi sila sa akin halos 3 buwan ako ng process sa requirements ko lng…oo may CFO ako bsta lahat merun ako..sana po maka visa na ako kasi mis ko na asawa ko.salamat po mj.

    1. Hi Niel!I am praying for you..If you don’t mind,can I get your email address..My itatanong sana ako sa iyo.This is your third time applying,right?So the same CFO certificate ang pinasa mo?Wala namang expiration yun diba?I called the CFO office,they said I can still use the CFO certificate as long as the same ang partner.I am kinda worried kac nakapunta ako ng Korea this year,wasn’t able to have my visa extended bago ako umuwi.So mag apply ako ulit ng F21 visa.Sana mabigyan ka na talaga ng visa..Good luck Niel!

  49. jonnah wlang na didiny sa CFO punta ka lng don my kunti silang sasabihin tapos bigyan ka nila agad pgkatapos..

  50. @Niel Abalde — Punta po kami sa SMEF Quezon City (CFO) sa Monday, paparegister po para magpaschedule sa 2 day seminar.. Paano po un? Pag nagregister kami, wala nang seminar and then bibigay na po agad yung certificate?

    1. oo magpa register pah kayu tapos seminar pagkatapos ceminar bigay agad ang CFO certificate..bsta complete lng lahat ng requirements mo.

  51. –eto lang naman po diba yung mga kailangan kong dalhin? Ano pa po kaya yung sinasabing “other documents as may be required by the counselors”???? tsaka kung magparegister po kami by Monday, kelan po kaya kami massched for 2 day seminar? the next day na po ba agad or sched pa po for another date?
    Requirements for Guidance Counseling
    Two (2) valid identification cards (IDs) with photograph;
    Duly completed guidance and counseling form to be issued by SMEF-COW upon registration;
    If married, certified true copy and photocopy of marriage contract on security paper from the National Statistics Office, or Local Civil Registry Offices; or original and photocopy of marriage contract duly authenticated by the Philippine Embassy/Consulate (if married abroad)
    Other documents as may be required by the counselors; and
    Payment of P250.00 counseling fee.

    1. nakalimutan ko na kasi kung anu requirements sa CFO bsta punta ka lng don sabihan ka naman nila kung anu requirements nila..depende sa schedule by gruop ata yun bsta nakalimutan ko na kasi..sorry.

      1. okay.. salamat.. tom na kami punta dun para maschedule na kami for seminar.. sana walang maging problema sa lahat ng lalakarin namin.. thanks sa mga info.. after ng seminar, apply na medical naman.. ^^

  52. good am po. ask lang po ako kung spousal visa ka po pwede po bang one way ticket to korea lang ang bibilhin?di ba ako makukwestyon ng immigration? salamat po…

    1. Hi Meliza! One way ticket lang ang kinuha ko noong una akong pumunta ng Korea. Ang visa ko ay F-2-1.

  53. wow grabe naman ng requiremnts now good thing di ko naabutan toh.. i just came here in korea last march 9 2011 and in that time they already change the policy regarding spouse visa actually one week after i process my visa ngchange na pla sila.. i was so lucky back then,. okay lng yan sa mga ngproprocess pa! fighting!^^

  54. Pag nagpa-authenticate po ng family census and certificate of relation sa Korean Embassy, makukuha na po ba agad? And pag nagpasa na po ng mga requirements for spouse visa sa Korean Embassy, ilang araw po bago malaman yung result?

    1. yung authentication mkukuha mo agad kc tatatakan lng nmn nila yun.pg nag apply ka ng f21 visa, 15 days yun. pero pg tumama sa holiday jan sa pinas, maeextend ang releasing date ng visa mo. dapat kumpleto lahat ng docs mo, meron kc na kahit kumpleto na, may nirerequire pa rin silang other docs, depende sa mga sinubmit mo.

  55. Ask q lng po, if ung 15 working days na un eh kasama ung Saturdays and Sundays? kc po sbi ng friend ng husband q, bale 22 working days daw kc ung 15 working days eh from Mondays to Frindays lng po..

    1. It depends kung anong day ma fall ang application mo.Yup 15 working days exclude Saturday,Sunday and holidays.So say for example,nag apply ka nung Oct.7(that’s Friday),you can get your visa most likely by Oct.28.Don’t worry,upon acceptance of your application,they will give you the claim stub which states the releasing date of your documents.

      1. Ahhhh.. ganun po ba.. Salamat po ng marami.. Hmmmmmm.. sa releasing date po ba dun nadn po makukuha ung visa?

      2. Hi MJ,
        I just want to ask..kse db nkapunta kna sa Korea by having an F2-1 visa before. So your applying again right? Kse just want to share my experience..I applied for my marriage visa a couple of weeks ago. By that time complete n tlga requirements ko. Pero nong npunta ako sa Window 2, hindi nya chicheck ng mabuti yung mga requirements, may kulang pa daw ako. Since I already went to Korean twice, I can read na rin Korean translation. Tumawag muna ako sa husband ko then bumalik ulit ako sa knya..inisa isa ko sa knya lhat ng sinabi nya na wala ako. So ok na..then suddenly hiningan ako ng land title..i told her na wla kmeng land title since ngrerent lng kme doon ng husband ko..meron nmn akong bank certificate and company certificate ng husband ko. Mejo tumaas na yung boses nya pero ako ngeexplain pa rin ako ng side ko..then biglang sabi nya hindi nmn daw cia yung mgdedecide kng makakakuha ako ng visa kung hindi yung consul. Sabi ko na lng Thank you ~~..Then to my surprise inaccept nya yung application ko and binigyan ako ng releasing date. hehe..Well, i said it to my husband and he told me na yung mga korean mahilig tlga mgtest kung tlgang alam ko yung mga details about my husband. Since mrame ciang tinanong nsagot ko nmn lhat kya inaccept nya na. Well, hopefull I could get a visa na rin. I will tell you pag nkuha ko. ~~

        1. kakakaba nman po pala.. sa Friday po aq magpass ng mga requirements.. sana wag nman nya aq maxadong tarayan.. God bless sa lahat.. ^^

          1. Just be prepared na rin. And wag ka matatakot sa kanya. We have the rights nmn magexplain if ever magtaray cia. Marame din kse akong narinig na hindi tlaga tinatanggap yung mga applications nila pag kulang yung papers nila. Basta handa ka lng if tinanong ka nya. Just be honest lng. E kung wla ka nmn tlgang mapprovide na gnun why worried db? Just explain it to her.
            Goodluck ^^

        2. Hi Chinny!Oh thanks for sharing your experience..It’s a relief for me.By the way,is this your second time applying for F21 visa?When you went to Korea before,under F21 visa or tourist?Oh Chinny maraming salamat..I am so anxious these days kc baka hindi ako payagan mag apply ulit or you know..Can I get your email ad?maraming salamat.I’ve been waiting for someone to share the same experience with mine.I am praying na makakuha ka ulit ng visa.

          1. Hi MJ
            Sorry i just had a tourist visa before. I came here in the Phil last May. I’d been there twice. Anyway, just secure all the necessary papers and try to call first the Korean embassy. I believe mkakapagapply ka ulit. Mejo intimidating lng kse pag nagapply sa korean embassy. Basta be ready lng sa lahat ng mga questions nila. Here is my email add, if you have any question pa..oline_buts@yahoo.com..
            Goodluck ^^

          2. Thanks Chinny!Good luck!I hope you can get your visa soon!Autumn na.Maganda ang timing mo.

        3. Hi Chinny,
          Sorry for jumping here but i would totally agree with you, the korean at the window 2 is scary indeed. My husband was the one who processed my F21 visa and not me, while he was in embassy he was told that i was lacking of 1 medical test. When my husband arrived in Cebu i was totally stress bcoz i know i took all the test i even confirmed it to my doctor. So the following day, i called her and explain well to her everything that i already took the exam and i asked her to check the results thoroughly. Ayun, thanks God nman..she said sorry and she said to just wait for the releasing date. Because of that, waiting for 15days wasnt easy for me, I was too nervous i would get denied and my baby and my hubby would have to leave me in Phil, hehe! So my point is that if they would return your documents without saying anything, you need to ask why and explain to them well. I arrive here in Korea last July.

  56. Ask q lng po.. isa po sa requirements is the police clearance or NBI.. so any of the two po pwede dba? ala pa po kc aqng NBI.. i’m thinking kung kelangan q pang manguha or kht police clearance nlang okay na.. Hmmmmmm.. ^^

      1. Ah.. okay po.. salamat po.. bute at nakakuha aq agad kahapon ng NBI.. Hmmmm.. Ask q lng po.. di ba po 9-11AM lng po ung pag kuha ng visa tas 2-4PM po ung result.. so that day dn po malalaman kung approved or denied ang visa?

  57. Done passing all the requirements in Korean Embassy.. Ala nmang tinanong saken.. Complete lahat ng documents q.. Sa Novermber 23, 2011 ung releasing date.. I CLAIM IT! I WILL HAVE IT! ^^

      1. Thanks! Hmmmm.. I know God will provide my visa for me.. All of the requirements were complete.. He didn’t ask anything when the guy in Visa 1 window check my documents..

  58. hi there jonah.. buti ka pa tapos na sa pagpprocess ng application mo at nakapagpass kana ng documents mo baka pwde mo naman akong turuan kung ano yung mga steps sa pagaasikaso magsstart palang kasi ako sa Jan. and gustom ko sana na may idea na ako para hindi ako gaano mastress hehe! ilan months mo inasikaso requirements mo? thanks in advance ^^

    1. Hi Peachie, last September 11 lng kme kinasal ng hubby q.. tas wait lng ng NSO marriage certificate/contract. Pag nakuha mo un, pwede kna magstart. Ipadala mo sa hubby mo ung isang original copy ng NSO marriage certificate/contract nyo para iparegister nya dun sa Korea. Ang ginawa kc namen ng hubby q, nagparegister xa dun tas inackaso na nya agad lahat ng mga documents na kailangan qng ipasa para visa application para isang padala nlang lahat ng documents.
      Korean Embassy website: http://embassy_philippines.mofat.go.kr/eng/as/embassy_philippines/visiting/visas/index.jsp

      1. Hi Peachie & Medz.. Kinasal kme ni hubby q last Septmeber 11, 2011. First, kelangan nyo muna makuha talaga ang NSO marriage certificate/contract. Pag nakuha nyo na un, pwede na kau magstart ng mga kailangang gawin..

      2. about sa medical, may binigay na card saken dun sa korean embassy. Tumawag muna aq sa kanila and tinanong q kung accredited cla ng korean embassy and then sabi nla “Oo”.. and then halos ng nag-aapply for spouse visa dun nagpapamedical. same day makukuha nadn ung result. 2500 ung medical pero pwede tawaran til 2300.

          2. matagal daw kasi bago makuha yung marriage certificate sa NSO totoo ba? taga saan ka sis? my fb account ka ba? i’ll be sending you an email tomorrow pasensiya kana ha masyado ako matanong.. may idea na ako this time thankyou!

          3. mas malapit aq ng taft..kso sis bat s SMEF k kmuha ng seminar? may pgkkaiba ba yan?or mas mgnda b kmuha s SMEF? kc jan mas mdmi kmukuha kesa PRISM..

          4. kc sabi ng hubby q sa SMEF daw aq kumuha kesa sa PRISM.. Hehe.. sinunod q lng hubby q.. ^^

    1. Hello there Jonah!
      Its daisy,Just wanna asked, ikaw lang ang nag asikaso sa lahat ng papers mo? No need to get agency for assistance.
      Asked ko rin po na ang first step talaga ay kung makuha mu na marriage license Contract mo from NSO, kailan mu yang e padala sa hubby mu duon sa South Korea para authentication sa civil
      registry nila. Mga ilang weeks kaya yan mabalik sayo.
      I really need ideas right now.
      Thanks and God BLess!

      1. Hi Daisy,
        Yes, aq lng po nag-ackaso ng papers q.. Ndi na need ng agency.. Kahit ikaw kaya mong ackasuhin and then sure ka pa na ndi peke lahat ng documents na ipapasa mo.. Ung saken po kc, talagang hinintay q muna ung NSO marriage certificate nmen before aq nag-ackaso ng iba pang documents.. Mas maganda 2 copies na ung hiningi mo sa NSO para ung isa ipapadala mo na sa hubby mo and then ung isa eh sau para sa pag-aackaso mo d2.. 2-3 days po ung pagpapadala ng documents.. sa DHL po eh 950 above.. depende sa location ng hubby mo sa South Korean.. pag province, mas mahal lalo na pag malayo ung DHL sa kanila.. aabutin minsan ng 2000+.. Ipaparegister nya dun and then kuha xa ng marriage certificate nyo dun sa Korea and then Family Census and Cetificate of Family Relation.. mas maganda na kumpletuhin nadn nya lahat ng mga documents na kailangan para sa visa application para isang padala nlang..

        1. hi jhona pag kumuha ba ng legal capacity ang fiancee mag fil up sxa ng form.ako di ba may fil apan din na form.tsaka pwede makahingi ng konting tip sa mga tatanong ng consul sa filipina?1st time ko eh.tnx

  62. Hi Jonah,
    Pagpassport lang binigay sa yo… most likely may visa ka. Pero pagmay-binigay na piece of paper sa yo, DECLINED yun. Nakalagay dun yung mga reasons why di ka binigyan ng visa.
    Nakuha ko yung F21 ko nung 24 Oct. mga 530pm na yta. May pinasagutan sa akin, tapos naghintay pa ako sa interview ng consul.
    Ako yung huling binigyan ng visa nung araw na yon. Nagulat nga ako ksi may interview pa.
    Have faith and I am sure you’ll get your f21 visa. God bless!

    1. Ano po ung pinasagutan? Mga anong question po? Hmmmm.. May interview pa? Ano po ung kadalasang tinatanong?
      Thank you po sa info.. atleast may idea na aq sa mangyayare.. ^^
      God bless everyone.. ^^

      1. Hi Neil,
        Sorry now lang ako nakareply. Nakuha mo ba yung visa mo?
        Yung sa akin, di na ako tinanong masyado kasi nasagutan ko naman yung mga questions.
        Siguro nakatulong na kinasal kmi sa Seoul, 4 times na pumunta sa Korea in a span of 1 year. At dala ko yung church wedding photos… kaya ang bilis lang ng interview ko. Ang matagal lang yung paghihintay, pero worth it naman.

    2. Hi Hannah!I was wondering,lahat ba ng nag apply nag undergo pa ng interview?After the interview,tsaka pa mag de decide ang Consul kung mabigyan ka ng visa?It’s getting more complicated.

  63. Hi Peachie,
    Hmmm.. di ko alam kung saan mas okay na CFO pero sa SMEF aq nagCFO.. mabaet ung mga tao dun.. Hmmm.. ung “First Endorsememt”.. di ba after ng kasal ung marriage certificate ipapasa or ipapafile sa municpyo kung saan ikinasal.. tas nung nagpafile aq sa municpyo, sbi q gusto q makakuha agad ng NSO marriage certificate.. un ang ginawa sa marriage certificate namen.. pina”First Endorsement”.. kc pag pina “First Endorsement”, after 15 days ipapadala na ung NSO marriage certificate.. kukunin mo nalang sa muncpyo kung san kau kinasal at saan kau nagfile..
    Here’s my e-mail: ar_jonah@yahoo.com.ph

  64. And then, ung P250 na cnasabi.. ndi xa P250 kundi P400.. tas pag kukuha ka na ng certificate.. dalawa un na certificate.. ung isa ala nang bayad un.. pero ung isang certificate na kukunin mo sa CFO un ang may bayad ulit na P200.. ewan q lng kung may bayad pa ulit sa sticker.. kc sa November 23 q pa makukuha visa q and after q makuha dun palang aq papasticker.. i’ll let you know kung may bayad ulit ung sticker.. ^^

    1. hi sis..
      ask ko lang ano yung mga possible na questions or ano yung mga tinanong sa inyo nung consul during the interview?? ^^ thanks in advance..

        1. sis yung interview nung mag asawa pagkukuha ng legal capacity to marry tama ba? di ba may interview pa?

    1. Hi Niel, Tomorrow mo p lng makukuha if ever yung visa mo? i’ve read before na sabi mo sa October 14 babalik kna lit sa embassy to check if approved visa mo? What happened? May mga requirements pbng hiningi?

          1. Hi MJ and Jonah ^^
            I already got my visa yeheyyyyyyyyy ~~~..wala pong interview. Goodluck din sa inyo. God Bless

  65. Wow that’s a good news Chinny.. Very good.. Thank God you already have your visa.. God will provide everything that our heart’s desire.. I’m excited to get also my visa on November 23.. God bless everyone..

        1. Ung pagkuha ng legal capacity.. Pag punta nyo sa korean embassy, lahat ng couple pupunta kau sa isang room.. tas may ididiscuss ung consul senyo.. in korean and english language.. tas iinterviewhin c hubby mo and then ikaw dn.. kelangan magkatugma sagot nyo.. after nun, may pipirmahan c hubby.. and then after nun, magkukwento ung consul about life ng isang korean man and filipina wife in korea.. after nun, tapos na.. wait nlang kau for the release ng legal capacity sa isang window.. tatawagin kau isa isa..

          1. ano yung mga set of questions sis.. how about sa CFO may interview din ba? thanks in advance ^^

          2. ung possible question is about you and your hubby lng nman.. Sa CFO, pagpunta mo kc dun paparegister ka tas may info sheet ka na sasagutan and then ipapasa nyo un and then may orientation kau.. after ng orientation, isa-isa kaung tatawagin.. may itatanong lang about senyo ni hubby and then bibigyan ka ng maliit na paper tas nakalagay dun kung kelan ka nakasched for 2 day seminar and then meron nadn nakalagay na mga requirements na kailangang ipasa sa kanila after ng seminar.. if nakumpleto mo na un, pwede mo na isubmit sa kanila yung mga documents na un and then makukuha mo na ung 2 certificate.. and then pag nakuha mo na ang visa mo, balik ka ulit sa kanila for CFO sticker na.

          3. hi pwede malaman yu sample ng question na pipil apan sa papel kung ao yun mga tanong tsaka hangang ilan ang question na sasagutan?help naman oh first time lang kumuha ng legal capacity bf ko sa embassy nila eh,sana may magdownload ng sample.

  66. Guys!
    I just wanna know if who among you get or process their CFO here in Cebu. Is it okay to get my CFO here in Cebu even if I’m also a spouse of Korean man. I just wonder because I’ll read all your comments and it seems all of you get your CFO at Manila.
    Really need info and ideas.
    Thanks and God bless!

    1. Thanks April!
      Well asked ko lang po april kung may accredited din po bang hospital dito sa Cebu? Kasi dito nalang ako mag aaply cause I know the place much rather than in manila.
      Thank you and God bless you

  67. Yes.. many accreditted hospital in Cebu,its up to you if go
    in Cebu Doctor Hospital,Chong Hua Hospital.
    Amen.God bless us,Indeed.
    thanks to you,too.

    1. Hello there April!
      Thanks a lot for the Info. I just now have an idea where to go.
      Can i have your email if its okay with you, I’ll just want friends.
      Thank you and God BLess!
      Sincerely,
      Daisy

  68. hi there,
    hindi ko maopen yung format dito bakit kaya ã… .ã… 
    10. Original Invitation Letter from Korean
    (should be in a specific format as required by Embassy)
    11. Guarantee Letter
    (should be in a specific format as required by Embassy)

    1. Peachi, me too.. di q dn nabuksan yan.. pero ung hubby q naopen nya yan.. ask mo nlang c hubby mo for sure magagawan nya ng paraan yan..

  69. thank you sis.. in hangul ba dapat yung format? haay buti ka pa tapos na ako nguumpisa palang ilan taon kana sis if you dont mind me asking at taga saan ka?kkk

    1. Yes, in hangul po xa.. sbi ng hubby q.. maybe alang program ung laptop or pc para mabuksan ung guarantee letter and invitation letter sa website ng korean embassy.. pero xa meron kaya nabuksan nya un.. tell your hubby nlang, for sure lam nya kung pano maoopen un.. Hmmmm.. I’m 22 yrs old.. From Bataan.. ^^

      1. i see you’re still young how about yung husband mo.. hehe! interview talaga..kkk sorry ha! korean yung program na nakainstall sa pc ko.. hehe!hindi ko lang masyado maintindihan kaya hindi ko maopen ngayon…^^

        1. My husband is 34 yrs old.. just few questions lng.. Hmmmm.. per couple nman ung interview kaya maririnig mo ang mga pwedeng itanong.. just be ready..

  70. Hi Jonah,
    Sorry for the late reply. Congrats!
    Kinasal kasi ako sa Seoul, wla rin couple interview. Di na pumunta si hubby sa MLA. Kaya siguro ako nagfill -out ng interview questions.
    Tapos, may interview with the consul…sya rin nag-approve ng visa ko on the spot.
    FYI:
    Meron ako nakasabay na deny yta sya, 2nd time na nya nag apply ng f21 visa.
    Parehas yta na declined… kasi di nya masagot yung mga questions. At peke yung wedding photos na sinubmit nya.
    Kung may couple interview, di mo na yta kailangan nung magfill out ng questions and interview with the consul.

    1. Hi Hannah,
      Wow, congrats for your visa!!! ^^
      Ah.. nagkaroon kame ng interview nung kumuha kame ng legal capacity ng hubby q sa Korean Embassy.. And then, di q sure kung may kelangan pang questionnaire and interview sa consul sa pagkuha q ng visa sa Nov 23..
      What do you think po?

  71. Hi MJ,
    Depende yta, kasi yung case ko… We got married in Seoul. Bumalik lang ako ng PINAS para ayusin yung visa ko. Sabi kasi ng IMMIGRATION sa Mokdong..kailangan umuwi ako para sa F21 visa.
    Kung buntis sana ako, bibigyan ako ng F21 visa. Kaya lang hindi pa ako buntis nung nag-apply ako.
    Ang alam ko pag may couple interview di na kailangan magfill out ng interview questions and interview with Consul.
    Pero kung may questions sila sa application ng visa mo, mag fill out ka ng interview questions and interview with Consul.
    Ako kasi walang couple interview, nagsubmit lang ako ng requirements, tapos binigyan na ako ng paper after 15 days bumalik daw ako to get my visa. Di na rin pinapunta si hubby. Yung case yta namin rare.
    Kasi ang alam ko dapat umuwi yung husband for couple interview. God is good.. kasi malapit lang sa amin yung immigration office sa MOKDONg… so di na pinauwi si hubby sa PINAS.
    FYI:
    1.yung nadeny tapos magre-apply ..sigurado ako magfill out ka ng interview questions and interview with consul
    2. pag may nakita sla na discrepancies sa requirements mo like yung marriage certificate… you will need to fill-out some interview questions and interview with consul
    3. pag naglie yung husband mo about his financial background,criminal records etc… kasi ang alam ko nagbackground check sla..pumupunta sa house sa Korea.

    1. hello po miss hannah! just wanna ask something.. i read your post na kinasal ka po dito sa seoul…requirement ba talagang mabuntis para makuha ang visa? nung umuwi ka sa pinas , what are the requirements you submitted? kinasal ka ba sa pinas before or sa seoul ka lang kinasal? or nung kinasal ba sa seoul ,kelangan ba ulit ikasal sa pilipinas for applying visa? kasi now, i will try to apply my spousal visa here and we married sa seoul… im just worried baka ideny or pauwiin ako sa pinas because i heard also na dapat buntis daw para malaki chance pagkuha ng f2visa…actually, i have working visa here but it will last until february…
      I hope i can get an answer…

    2. hello hanah, noong ikinasal ka d2 sa seoul korea anu ano ang mga requiremnents? your experiences will help my sister a lot..thanks!

  72. Hi Jonah,
    basta complete ang requirements mo, walang fake approve ka na. wla na interview with the consul.
    pero marami nadedeny dahil sa problem sa medical.. pag weak ang lungs, may hepa or may ibang sakit.
    mahigpit na sila.. kasi marami domestic violence tapos maraming Koreans di nagsasabi ng totoo sa spouses nla.
    Sinasabi nila engineer,businessman etc . pero farmer pla.
    Meron naman, di pa dumarating yung Korean kasal na sa PINAS… alam mo naman sa PINAS basta magbayad ka may marriage cert ka na.

    1. hello po miss hannah! just wanna ask something.. i read your post na kinasal ka po dito sa seoul…requirement ba talagang mabuntis para makuha ang visa? nung umuwi ka sa pinas , what are the requirements you submitted? kinasal ka ba sa pinas before or sa seoul ka lang kinasal? or nung kinasal ba sa seoul ,kelangan ba ulit ikasal sa pilipinas for applying visa? kasi now, i will try to apply my spousal visa here and we married sa seoul… im just worried baka ideny or pauwiin ako sa pinas because i heard also na dapat buntis daw para malaki chance pagkuha ng f2visa…actually, i have working visa here but it will end until february…
      I hope i can get an answer…

  73. ahhh.. kc dito kme nakaplan magpakasal nun kaya kelangan talaga nming dalawa ni hubby ang pumunta sa korean embassy para makakuha ng legal capacity.. ininterview kme dun and nakuha namen ang legal capacity nya.. and then kinasal kame nung Sept 11, and then nakapag-apply na aq nung Oct 28 for visa.. nung nagpassed aq ng mga documents.. okay nman.. ala nang hiningin additional documents.. binigyan na aq ng releasing date.. and sa Nov 23 po aq balik dun to get my visa.. ^^

  74. ask lang po qng ang first endorsement ba tlga sa NSO aabutin ng 1month or tlgang 15days lng? kc ang advice skin is 1month daw..ang tagal kaya nun.. and san po mismo q un kukuhanin sa NSO mismo or s City Hall? pls help.. thank you ^^

  75. and then, mag-iwan ka ng contact # mo sa city hall kung san ka magfifile.. and then, kontakin ka nila pag dumating na ung NSO marriage certificate mo.. mas maganda kung dalawang original copy na kunin mo kc ung isa ipapadala sa hubby mo and then ung isa sau..
    can i get your email medz? thanks. ^^

    1. hi jonah,
      tnx so much sis sa help mo..heres my email add: pinkberry_medz@yahoo.com
      un ang nkalimutan q sbhin c city hall n 2 copies..pwde q nmn ihabol ung another copy db kc nung nov 9 lng aq nagfile s city hall. cge nxt week balik aq dun kc mejo may kalayuan smin ung city hall qng san kmi kinasal.

      tnx ulet ;))

      1. okay.. i’ll send you message in your email.. Hmmm.. i think, call ka muna sa city hall kung pwede kamo pahabol para sure ka kung pwede para di ka maxado mapagod.. if di pwede, pag nakuha mo na ung NSO marriage certificate mo, kuha ka nlang ng NSO marriage certificate online.. bayad ka nlang sa bank and then isesend nman na un sa bahay nyo within 3 days.. ^^
        https://www.ecensus.com.ph/Secure/frmIndex.asp

  76. no problem.. Hmmmm.. napagdaanan q dn kc yan kya i know ung feeling nyo at this time.. kya i’m just returning the favor i received nung aq pa ung nagsisimulang mag-aus.. ^^

      1. hi peachie, nagstart k na ba kmuha ng NSO marriage certificate? bka sa end of nov aq mkkpag start maglakad ng documents. buti nga anjan c jonah npagtatanungan q din.1st q ggwin is ung s seminar s CFO.dun n lng yta aq sa taft PRISM kc mas malapit aq dun. kso d q nga sure qng okei din dun..
        ang tanong ko po Ms.JONAH, kc once nkuha ko na ung sa NSO and sbi mo nga dlwang copy ng NSO pra sbay kmi ng hubby q magprocess, so habang inaantay q ung s hubby q na mga documents okei lng ba jan aq magstart sa PRISM ung CFO seminar muna kunin q and medical s GodsWay bgo aq magproceed s embassy? kc mejo malayo ung embassy smin. pls help_
        ty & God bless^^

        1. Hi medz, i send you message in your email.. Hmmm.. btw, advise q lng po na mas maganda kumuha ng 2 copies ng original NSO marriage certificate para po ung isa ipapada kay hubby para maaus nadn po nya dun ung mga kelangang documents nyo at the same tym, nag-aaus nadn po kau d2 ng mga kailangang aucn.. kc po ipapasa ng hubby nyo dn un sa Korea.. Hmmmm.. yes po, okay lng po na magstart na kau magseminar for CFO and then kung ala pa po kaung NBI, kuha nadn po kau kc po kelangan po un at ndi po police clearance kundi NBI.. sa NBI po kc pag may kapangalan ka, ndi sau maibibigay ung NBI mo at the same day ng pagkuha mo ng NBI kundi papabalikin ka pa ng ilang days.. i think after 10 days pa before mo makuha ung NBI.. kaya mas maaga mas maganda.. and then pamedical na po kau..

        2. Hi Medz,
          pag nakapagseminar ka na sa CFO, before mo makuha ung 2 certificate, may ibibigay clang list of requirements na kailangan mong ipasa para makuha mo na ung 2 certificate..
          Requirement List:
          1. Family Census – Certificate of Marriage Relation translated in English authenticated by Korean Embassy
          2. Legal Capacity / Proof of Singleness
          3. Photocopy of husband’s passport with proof of Arrival and Departure in the Philippines
          4. Original / Photocopy of MC/BC/NBI
          5. Photocopy of Marriage License + Notice & Application
          6. Wedding Pictures with Solemnizing Officer & Parents
          ung #1, yan po ung isa sa mga documents na kailangang ipadala ni hubby sau.. pagnafile na nya dun ung NSO marriage certificate nyo sa Korea, makakakuha po xa nyan.. and then pag napadala na sau ni hubby yan, kelangan mong ipaauthenticate yan sa Korean Embassy and then ipaxerox and then ung xerox lng ung ipapasa sa CFO.. sa seminar sa CFO, magpapakita cla dun ng sample copy ng mga yan.. ^^

        3. hi sis, naku hindi pa ako nakpagstart sa magaayos ng papers ko paano hindi ako magkapagfile ng leave sa work kaya magppass nalang ako ng resignation ko next month wala akong choice eh .. wala naman kasi akong matatapos na asikasuhin kung 5days akong nasa office… haaay! ikaw ba? ang bait ni jonah noh… sobrang dami ng info.. wish ko hindi ako makanda wala wala sa manila.. sis inadd pala kita sa fb ha.. hope you dont mind…kkk!

  77. hi there wish someone can answer my question.
    i got my spouse visa last March 2009 i only stayed for a couple of days and my husband and i went back here in the Philippines..
    now, i wud like to ask on how will i renew my spouse visa?
    or do i still need to comply all those requirements and go back from the start? since in my first application i already gave my original certificate from CFO? thanks

    1. Hi Jessica,
      I think you better call Korean Embassy for that.. but i think your visa is still okay.. and you don’t need to go back from the start of visa processing.. BUT its better to be sure.. Call Korean Embassy about your situation.. God Bless!! ^^

  78. @Jonah Hi there Jonah!Did you have your medical sa God’swayclinic?The one you posted?Makukuha agad ang result within a day?I had my medical before sa ibang clinic,it took 3-4 days kc eh.So I am considering dun magpa medical sa God’s way.I hope you can give me some info.Thanks a lot!Good luck sa visa mo.
