Please visit Korean visa for Filipinos for a more updated post.
I have four friends who are supposed to apply for their tourist visa to Korea next month. It’s a good thing that they checked the new requirements for tourist visa to Korea. They decided to apply on Friday instead.
The new tourist visa requirements will take effect on March 1, 2015.
Here are the requirements BEFORE March 1, 2015:
1. Certificate of Employment
2. Bank Certificate
3. ITR copy
Here are the NEW REQUIREMENTS effective from March 1, 2015:
1. Certificate of Employment
– must include applicant’s position, date hired, compensation, address, office land line number (cell-phone number is not allowed), e-mail address
2. Bank Ceritificate
– must include account type, current balance, account opening date, 6 months average balance (ADB)
3. Bank Statement
– original or certified true copy of bank statements/passbook for the last 3 months
4. Income Tax Return copy
– with personal tin number
All documents must be issued within 3 months on the date of application.
Of course, don’t forget to include:
– Completed application
– Passport
– ID photo
– Invitation letter (optional)
– Copy of visa/arrival to OECD countries within the past 5 years
My friends said that the bank charges per page for the bank statement, which means additional expense 😀
How about if you dont have work as of thia moment your apply for tourist visa? How would it be?
Hi..pwede po ba mag buy ng ticket agad kung kumpleto naman kami ng requirements?
helo po…gusto po namin ng hubby ko mgtuor ng Korea kahit 3days and 2 nights lng kaya lng plain housewife ako walang work…pero husband ko ngpatrabaho s Singapore pwede po b ako makakuha ng tourist visa kahit wla akong bank certificate o itr?
Hi Primaly! Yes, pwede mong gamitin ang documents ng asawa mo as long as legally married kayo. Kailangan mo maglakip ng marriage contract ninyo (NSO) para patunayan ang relationship ninyo. Yung husband mo pwede na siya sa Singapore mag-apply ng visa niya. So yung bank certificate at certificate of employment kahit sa asawa mo manggaling. Bumisita dito last month yung pamangkin ko na nagwo-work sa Singapore, diretso siya from Singapore tapos yung wife niya sa PIlipinas naman nag-apply ng visa.
Hi! OFW po ako and as far as I know, and OFWs po ay tax-exempted. Paano po yun kung nagre-require sila ng ITR? I’m planning to visit SK po sana sa annual vacation ko. Thanks in advance!
Hi Elaine! Kuha ka ng certificate of tax exemption or non-filing of income tax return po from the BIR.
Hi can i have a sample of invitation letter? My aunt is planning to invite me and may i know where does she can get the invitation form? is it downloadable? Thanks
Hi po! If mag visit lng ako sa korea for 1 week, meron akong sister doon din married naman ako ng begian,gusto ko muna mag visit ng sister ko sa korea,need po ba ng visa? What are the requirements? Thank you
Yes po. Need ng visa. Aside from the documents listed above, you could ask your sister to send you an invitation letter and a copy of her passport. If you have a Belgian passport, you could come to Korea visa-free and stay for up to 180 days or 6 months. If you don’t have a Belgian passport, aside from the documents above, make copies of your visa and residence ID. If you’re not working, you could show your husband’s documents plus your marriage certificate.

Hi Emily! No need for a visa, but it should be a direct flight to Jeju from overseas. It could be KL-HK-Jeju 🙂
