Thank God… I finally got the Visa for my trip to South Korea. I’m so happy! I also feel so blessed, I really am sure this trip could happen not because of me, the travel agency, or my friend, I believe it’s all God’s work! Why?
- I have never been overseas before
(my passport is literally empty, I just made it a couple of weeks before I applied the visa) - I don’t have much money in my bank account
(in my recommendation letter from BCA, written only 13 millions ($1300) in my account and it hasn’t been consistently 13 millions in the past 3 months) - The Visa Process turned out to be so fast
Because the embassy of South Korea is in Jakarta, I decided to ask a travel agency for help, and after I did some comparisons, Vaya Tour gave the best price and offered the fastest process. I had prepared all the things to apply for the visa (probably over-prepared, haha..) Here’s what I submitted :
- Visa Application Form
- Photo 4×6 (2 pieces)
- Passport (empty)
- Employment Letter
- Day-off letter
- Birth Certificate
- Family Card
- Identity Card
- Itinerary
- Insurance from AXA (I paid IDR 290k for it)
- Booked round trip plane ticket to South Korea
- Booked round trip plane ticket to Jeju Island
- Booked Hostel Voucher in Seoul
- Booked Hostel Voucher in Jeju Island
- Annual Tax Report
- Bank Account (3 months)
- Pay Slip (2 months)
- Bank Recommendation Letter
- Name Card
- Visa Fee IDR 390k
I sent the application form on September 11th and they said the process would take 2 weeks + 2 days shipping, which is should be done about September 27th, just a couple days before my departure.. Really thank God they have already given me the result yesterday, which was a week early, and it’s succeeded! I GOT THE VISA!
