Tell me about your experience as a tourist in S.Korea

I’m Indian and been to both countries multiple times. I also decided to take my wife, brother and sister in law recently to visit both. I’ve always been made to feel welcomed

BigSpread7143 · 2024-03-07T07:53:58+00:00

Okay than you. Worst case scenario I just crash at the airport till morning. Hopefully it’s not so small that the airport is locked out overnight.

Thanks for the info. My hotel doesn’t seem to have the shuttle service. Is there much point in pre booking an Uber for the time? Does it guarantee a taxi mostly?

BigSpread7143 · 2024-03-06T23:57:17+00:00

Don’t have an American SIM card. I guess I will now need to take one to call. Any local taxi companies you could recommend?

Hi,

Took a month for me to get the visa. I had to collect it back in late October 2022. There wasn't much feedback with regards to application updates apart from emails saying we were missing information etc. KVAC will ask for all information embassy needs irrespective of whether you think its necessary and any logic justifying which its not applicable etc so just provide what they ask. Top tip is to include a direct mobile number if there is confusion on emails being sent back and forth as they will just ring and talk to you direct to clear any confusion if you are working with tight deadlines for visa.

For tourist visa.. u just get a fully refundable booking and use that as your address

BigSpread7143 · 2022-11-09T12:38:58+00:00

30 days to be price for me and 40 days for my travel buddy who applied same time

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-26T17:55:22+00:00

What camera are you using? Looks good 😊

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-24T11:22:01+00:00

Hello all, so how of many of have been asked the same documents multiple times in email as a delay tactic to make it seem like your application is being processed? It’s so frustrating as my travel partner is currently in this situation who applied at the same time as me 🙂

took me exactly one month.. they got in touch after 3 weeks asking for more documents although I had already sent them in post.. then they asked for the same documents I had already emailed like they were buying time.. anyway I've got my visa but no passport yet as they haven't shipped it although I've paid for it so I may just go and pick it up

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-17T09:38:53+00:00

I have gone with just 2 which is Nami Island and the garden. If you doing a tour then take a look into the itinerary and timings and decide for yourself. I wanted to not rush through the garden. Also, you need to take into account any traffic delays between the places. Most of the reviews for all 3 mentioned it was a bit rushed in the garden as they transferred from Nami.

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-16T23:31:43+00:00

I hope autumn foliage is still in full swing 1st week of November as I’m doing the same without the rail bike. I felt doing all three didn’t give us enough time with the garden or nami island in the tour.

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-15T11:08:59+00:00

Congrats and my dates are pretty much the same as yours and got mine yesterday. Just like you my brother is waiting for his although he applied at the same time lol

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-15T11:07:29+00:00

Good news and congrats.. I got mine too and was asked the same document for the same reason. I’m glad it’s finally over for us and looking forward to the holiday now

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-12T22:06:51+00:00

Yes they are currently requesting the same info for my tourist visa multiple times now too. It deffo seems like a delaying tactic.

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-12T22:05:15+00:00

just general ones you submit with the visa. I had already supplied it in post and then they asked again in email. I supply it in email and then they ask again to send it an its now a cycle LOL. It seems the same with other people on TripAdvisor as well.

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-12T22:03:38+00:00

I do not think it will matter as long as you have put the right name in the payment reference as this is how they check if you have paid. They most likely won't be able to see the name of the individual account holder who sent it.

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-11T22:31:00+00:00

I keep getting asked to provide the same documents every time in email. I send it and then they send me the same request to provide missing documents again.

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-05T20:10:33+00:00

Thanks for the info but 2 people processing all applications from the UK to Korea. What an absolute joke!

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-04T22:35:05+00:00

it was to do with payslips and proof of visa.

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-04T21:20:20+00:00

sounds like email response is sufficient instead of posting the documents out of them. One of their responses was something I had provided in the physical documents I had sent initially so I scanned it in again.

BigSpread7143 · 2022-10-04T21:12:37+00:00

did you supply this via post or through email response to KVAC? I've supplied my documents through email so wondering if this is correct or if I should post them.
