Denied South Korea Visa

You read it right, I’m sharing with you my South Korean visa denied story. It was May 2016 when I booked a promo flight to South Korea. I waited for this to experience winter in South Korea which is just a 4-5 hours flight from Cebu. On January 25, 2017, I went to the Consulate of the Republic of Korea in Cebu. My scheduled trip is from February 15 to 22, 2017.

6000 Philippines

  1. Application Form
  2. One piece of Passport-size colored picture

South Korea Visa has stricter visa requirements |South Korea Visa Denied

I received an email on January 30, 2017, that I was advised to submit two (2) guaranty letters.

  1. Filipino guarantor must be (1) government official or officer, and (1) your company owner, department head or HR manager;
  2. Guarantor must duly accomplish the Letter of Guarantee (see attached form); and,
  3. Submit a letter together with Guarantor’s Passport bio-page copy (if available). A Photocopy of the Guarantor’s government office ID (for government officer guarantor) or company ID (for company guarantor), front and back.

In addition to the guaranty letters, you are required to submit an explanation letter describing the following:

  1. Exact Annual Income
  2. Companions to/in Korea

What Went Wrong – South Korea Visa Denied

To be honest, I am sad by the fact of the South Korea visa denied. But it is expected when I received an email for additional documents. Here are some of the reasons what went wrong:

  1. I don’t have a Filipino guarantor (a government officer) to sign the guarantee letter. I mentioned in the letter that it’s a personal expense, a gift to myself. The reasons for having a Filipino guarantor to sign the letter is that:
    (a) the guarantor ensures that the applicant abides by the laws and regulations of Korea,
    (b) the guarantor will shoulder the travel expenses for the applicant’s return if he/she is unable to pay them,
    (c) the guarantor shoulders the expenses arising from the applicant’s stay or detention in Korea if he/she is unable to pay them.
  2. I don’t have any companions to/in Korea as I mentioned again and again that I am a solo traveler.

My Speculations for Why my South Korea Visa got Denied

Since I’ll be traveling solo, maybe the embassy thought that I would stay illegal in South Korea. And look for a job which I don’t have any intention. My only ultimate goal is to experience winter.

Remember my Denied Canada Visa Application? It was also my chance to experience winter last January 2015, but it never happened. No more winter experience for me.

South Korea Visa Denial Stories

You read it right, “You and/or your family failed to prove strong economic ties to the home country.“

My affiliation with a non-profit organization I am involved with is not considered a strong economic tie to the home country.

South Korean Embassy Philippines Address

Korean Consulate in Cebu
Address: 12F, Chinabank Corporate Center, Samar Loop, Hipodromo, Cebu Business park, Cebu city, 6000 Cebu

Korean Embassy Manila
Address: McKinley Town Center, 122 Upper McKinley Rd, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, 1634 Metro Manila

My Travel History

As a Filipino traveler, you might ask where I’ve been. So yeah, I’ve been to Five Countries in 2015 including Japan and Taiwan. But then, wherever I’ve been to, it’s useless. Sad.

Well, maybe South Korea doesn’t need Filipino tourists because of the stricter rules of visa requirements. Perhaps, I’ll just say goodbye to my wasted ticket to South Korea, will never experience snow and maybe avoid to visit this country for now.

Well, I am heartbroken since this trip to South Korea is a gift to myself for a solo traveler like me. I’ll just shave ice and eat halo-halo instead.

Somehow, I was able to Go to Boracay – Moving on from a Failed Winter Trip.

Check out the comments below as you can also read other people sharing their South Korean visa denied stories.

How to Avoid South Korea Visa Denied?

Since South Korea has stricter visa rules than Japan, it is better that you have a guarantor. That was my problem since it stated that I had I failed to prove strong economic ties to the home country. Of course, the more money you have in your bank account, the better.

There are some banks that if you have these certain credit cards, you can avail automatically a single entry visa, luckier if it’s multiple entry visa.

    • Gagong edward to. Hiyang hiya naman ang Singapore, Hongkong at now Taiwan na binigyan ng visa free ang mga turistang pinoy. Mataas kasi ihi ng mga koreano, tuta kasi ng kano. Mga feeling, obvious naman na feeling entitled mga koreano para magdeny ng visa ng mga pinoy. Kahit nakapagtravel n s OECD countries, at 6 digits n mga bank accounts, may negosyo, nagwork abroad, pero nagdedeny parin silanng visa. Ridiculous kahit family apply, may isa silang dinedeny. Buwisit lang, walang logic. Anong katangahan yun na isa sa pamilya, may planong magpaiwan pra mag TNT? Hello! Ridiculous naman tlga logic nila. Di katulad ng Japan. Bwisit tlga. πŸ˜‚

  • Hi everyone,
    I just wanna share my South Korean Visa story. I submitted my application at Cebu Consular Office last week August with some lacking requirements. First, I have no ITR because I just got a job. Second, my COE doesn’t have landline number and email address. It is also my first travel and my Bank Certificate has less than 30k and less than 300pesos ADB. I was actually taking a very long shot. Luckily I got my Visa 5days before my departure and I just got back. But now, after experiencing South Korea, it made me think of making another trip during another season. By the way, a cover letter really works.

  • Hi Abbe, congrats… nag try ako mag appeal last sept 7 pero sa entrance pa lang sinabihan na ko agad ng no appeal sabi nung nag aayos dun ng docs yung nasa entrance at ni nd man lang tiningnan ang docs ko. Pero ok lang at least nag try aq. Ask ko lang if anong format ng cover letter mo para next time maglalagay na din ako ng cover letter. Kasi sabi sakin ng agency ko ay hindi daw na verify ang aking coe kasi hindi ma contact ang aming HR saklap…hehe ..

  • Good day po! I want to ask po sana kung ano po requirements for unemployed since wala pong category for that status. I recently graduated from college and passed my board exam so going to SoKor will be my grad gift from my parents kaso I’m neither a student nor employed. My father, who is an OFW, will shoulder all my expenses pero I will be travelling alone. I have a Korean co-intern who will send me a letter of invite para mas malaki chance ma-approve yung visa. Wala din pong ITR yung father ko since OFW siya. Hoping for a reply po. Thank you in advance!

    • Hi, please write a letter of explanation that your father will shoulder your expenses to SoKor as a graduation gift. Show any proof of documents that your father has a job. Thank you.

    • parequest ka ng certificate of tax exemption sa papa nyo po ate…makukuha nya yan sa philippine embassy 😊 100SAR nga lang ang certificate…pero baka makausap nyo ang BiR dyan sa inyo to tag your father as an OFW at magpagenerate kayo ng certificate of tax exemption.

  • We went to South Korea last Nov 2016 and visa processing was smooth πŸ™‚ What we did?– Just complied on the requirements ( as Tourist or rather for Employee) and go to the Embassy and have it processed. They don’t need a copy of purchased ticket or what.

    1. Application Form –> Filled up properly
    2. 1 piece of Passport size colored picture (Please attach on the application form)
    3. Original Passport (should be valid for more than 6months)
    4. Photocopy of Passport Bio-page (page 2)
    5. Original & Photocopy of valid visa/s and arrival stamps to OECD member countries for the past 5 years (If applicable only)
    6. Original Certificate of Employment –> I got a recent copy of this one and make sure all info needed are there.
    (must include applicant’s position, date hired, compensation, office address, HR landline number(cell-phone number is not allowed), HR e-mail address)
    7. Original Personal Bank Certificate –> I got a recent one.. 1 week later the application. and I have that time 80K something and even got the 3 month bank transaction to prove all those money are for me to spent.
    (must include account type, current balance, account opening date, ADB)
    8. Bank Statement
    (original or certified true copy of bank statements/passbook for the last 3 months) –> see above πŸ˜›
    9. ITR(Income Tax Return) or Form 2316 Copy –> Yep,. provide it.
    10. Copy of PRC Card or IBP Card (If applicable only) –> N/A

    My friend got a multiple Entry because he is a BPI Gold Card user and they had that promo before.. If you have one, you can just have it and you don’t need bank certificates for that, just a photocopy of CARD.

    They will give your 3 or 5 days to get your approved or denied Visa..

    • Hello nick,i photo copy lang ba ang bpi gold card,need pa bang ipakita sa embassy ang gold card?no need na rin ba ang bank statement?..tnx

  • Hi, if you want to experience snow, you can travel to Georgia. It’s a very beautiful country with amazing landmarks and tasty food. You won’t get denied as we can get evisa for a maximum of I think 60 days. You can also extend your travel to Armenia (the first Christian Nation) if you want by taking a train from Tbilisi, Georgia.

  • HI ! Im planning to go to SK next month with 6 friends, we will be applying for our visa next week, reading your comments made me nervous of denied visa stories. Do you think age also is a factor? We are in our mid 50’s so we really just want to travel and enjoy. We have no intention to work there considering our age. Thank you.

  • Hello can you guys shed some light for me? Hehe fresh graduate and without work here we will be traveling to Korea this November malaki ba chance na ma approve yung sa aking application if kasama ko yung parents ko sa trip? Btw sila din mismo mag fifinance sa trip. Mother has a pharmacy business for 15yrs and father works in the government for almost 20yrs. I also want to provide a cover letter na tumutulong ako sa family business and purpose to travel is for vacation(graduation gift)..

    Can someone help me? Or same situation sa akin na nabigyan ng visa? Thru agency kasi yung sa amin from Mindanao kami.

    Btw may travel history na ako went to SG and KL last year, tapos 5yrs ago nakapunta na sa HK & Macau for 3 times kasama ko din family ko during that trip.

    • I think getting a visa for fresh grad or unemployed is by luck talaga. Unfortunately, hindi ganun ka lucky ung sis ko. Birthday gift ko sana sa kanya yung punta namin sa SK this nov kaso she got denied and my visa was approved. We submitted all documents sa travel agency since we live sa province including letter of explanation and affidavit of support that i will shoulder all her expenses. Magkasama kami mag vacation so if may doubt ang consul sa financial capacity ko dba sana pati ako na deny din. So sad tlga kasi sya yung super fan ng kdrama. Mag vacation tuloy ako magisa.

  • I felt sad to get my result today- Visa denied… all my friends were approved except me because im a homebased online English teacher..
    Ganon ba yon kapag homebased online teacher di makakatravel in those countries with visa? So unfair.. do i need to change career if i want to travel next year in Japan and other countries?im really sad, i had my ticket already for the package tour.. however, I believe God’s will prevail.. it is not His will for me. .. i just need to accept it.

  • dalawang beses na akong nag-apply ng visa sa SoKor and blessing ‘coz both were approved. Dapat kumpleto lang siguro lahat ng requirements, meaning walang ‘dagdag bawas’.. As to ADB or OB sa bank savings nyo, I think this doesn’t matter that much kasi yung asawa ko di naman kalakihan ang pera, mga nasa 30k+ and ADB was only P1k+. And better kung kayo mismo magsubmit nung application nyo, it will only take few minutes and walang application fee.. SoKor so far ang the best country that I’ve been to.

    P.S. while writing this comment, kakasubmit ko lang din ng Japan Visa Application ko and my hubby.. praying for favor! God bless po sa inyo.. travel while you can!

Sadly, I was the only one approved :'( My boyfriend and I were supposed to celebrate our 5th anniversary in SK.

Gusto lang sana namin humingi ng tips. can we declare ba sa application na we are travelling with cousins. Mas malaki ba ang chance? and I have 3 bank accounts kasi. yung isa isa 3 years na sya pero minsan nazezero balance sya and yung 2 ko is bagong open lang and ang plan ko isubmit eh yung isa sa mga bago and dun ko ilagay lahat ng pera ko. 7months na yung bago kong account and planning mag apply ng VISA sa february or march. do you think mas okay yun? meron dini akong 2 credit cards. Also, Di kasi namin sure how much money yung kailangan na nasa loob ng bank. πŸ™ ngayon palang naiistress nako. pero think positive parin and super pray gagawin namin. Thank you!

  • Just wanna share my scenario.
    We applied as a Family plus my Mom and my Mom’s friend. Unfortunately we all got denied!
    After reading all blogs from diff website I think I already knew the answer. (I hope so if we tried to apply again next yr we got our Visa granted na)
    I am the financier We have a business, I have 2 bank accounts my 1 bank account is only under my name.. With 200k but the ADB is only 50k. I dont usually put money in the bank because I need it to roll it for my business..
    Reasons:
    My husband got his commission and the buyer deposited it in my account 100k a week before we applied the Visa. We thought we were blessed because he got extra money from his buy and sell for our supposedly KOREAN TRIP! Our usual money deposited for a year is only 60k-90k until last month it became 180k when someone deposited 100k I jus added 20 or 30k just to make it 200k.
    **Agency told us not to put Spot Cash or sudden big amount they will think that you just borrowed it**
    My husband – No work (because we are running the business and the business is under my name. He gets his extras from Buy & Sell like Cars (No documents to show proof to Korean Embassy so I just put β€œUnemployed”) I’ve just read that β€œNo work No Visa” β€” sad!
    My Daughter is a highschool student, later I realized under the β€œEmployment Category” I didnt check the Student.. I put all N/As instead. I got confused! because I put her infos about school under The β€œEducation” my daughter is only on her 10th grade but I checked the Highschool Diploma which is Wrong! It should be Others and write 9Th Grade (since that is her highest education achieved) My Mom has no Birth Certificate.. only Municipal Certificate and the girl on window 1 gave it back to me she was asking for the birth certificAte or My Marriage Contract just to prove that she is my Mother and I submitted it. I tried to come back to re appeal after 3 days and when I came back I saw girls also trying to re appeal @ window 1.. that girl didnt talk to us she just said β€œIt’s not my decision it’s consul’s Sorry!” Still I tried to email them 3x because they took so long to reply.. after 2weeks I got replies saying No reconsideration and No re appeal! Oops wait!
    I got my Bdo Gold Card just last week! Im thinking if.. What if I go back to embassy and reappeal again @ window 3? Since she’s the one handling the Bdo Gold Cards? But our booked flight will be Next week πŸ™ 3 days left

    • My other bank account is a Joint account din with my Mom and may 230k din ADB is 100k so total of 430k since we are travelling as a Family my husband, me and my 3 kids plus mom. I dont know if that is enough since I put 5 days intended to stay.

  • Hi, question lang po.

    I’ve been granted a visa and I’ve been to SK nung November 2017 but that was because of a business trip at may invitation ako from the company in SK, and along with all the requirements needed, naapprove naman.

    Now, me, my wife, and our 5-month old baby will visit SK on February 2018, may round-trip ticket na kami. Pero Natatakot ako baka madent kamk kasi my wife had stopped working (as a teaher) since she got pregnant last October 2016 so wala syang mapapakitang ITR. Paano po kaya ang gagawin ko for a higher possibility na ma-grant ang visa naming lahat? Thanks.

  • Me and my family are planning to travel to south korea next year 2018. Bale 4 kami ang father ko matagal ng nagtratrabaho sa goverment employee at kami ng mother ko ay unemployed meanwhile my sister is graduating next year 2018 so baka after graduation niya kami makapunta. Wala pa akong work for almost 3 years since I graduated. Ang reason ay ayaw ko pang magwork at balak kong mag aral ulit. Nakapagtravel na kaming lahat sa singapore, malaysia, hong kong at macau this past 2016. Question is malaki ba ang chance namin maaprove lalo na po ako since wala pa akong work at bank account. My father will shoulder all the expenses of our travel. Meron siyang gold or platinum credit card pero citibank visa lang yun. Through travel agency kami magpapaprocess ng visa at sila narin ang magaasikaso ng lahat pati hotel stay and itinerary. 5 days lang po kami sa south korea. Mataas po ba ang chance namin or malabo? If not ano po kaya ang dapat kong gawin para maaprove ako. Will wait for any response. Thank you

  • Hi, kinabahan naman kami =( our company will provide all our expenses for our 4days travel.. kaso yung mga officemates ko 15k lng mga salary nila so magrereflect yun sa bank statement.. possible ba na ma-approve kami nun or we need a guarantee letter from our company since sila magbibigay samin ng travel expenses namin?

  • Hi everyone! Just want to share my experienced. Me and my friends planned to go to Korea dec.19, we prepare our documents for Visa first week of November. Our first struggle is the stamped 2316, we do not have stamped sice our RDO is in Makati even if we are here in Cebu, (we are from CVG actually) we asked our HR for a stamped BIR but it took weeks and we haven’t received any response yet, so we decided to just write a cover letter to the consule explaining our situation. Second struggle is I don’t have show money, πŸ˜‚ (I know you’ll think that, hey! Suroy2 pero way kwarta! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚, but Actually I’m just trying my luck if it’ll work) so I submitted my payroll account Bank Certificate which is zero and Bank statement zero. When we submit everything, my friends’ visas were approved after 6 days (processing days in Cebu is 7 working days, but we check it online) mine was still pending. I checked my email and found out that they email me asking for additional financial documents. I borrowed money from my friend which is 5k, so the money reflecting on my next bank account and bank statement is 5k, I submit it again and wait for the result. The following day, they email me again stating that your financial documents are not enough to cover your expense (I put $300 by the way in the total expense portion in the application since we declared 3 days only in KR but actually we planned to stay 6 days there) so in the second email I received they are already asking for an sponsor, but I don’t have any sponsor, I went to their office and ask what if I don’t have sponsor, the nice Lady said its okay, you have 2 options to provide a financial documenta from a sponsor or add more financial documents. that’s the time I realized that OmG! they are giving me 3rd and final chance, so I borrowed 15k from my friend deposit it on that very same day so I have total of 20k on my bank certificate and statement and submit it to the consule. it was dec.15 and our flight is dec.19, 2017 my friends are all ready for the travel while me, just praying. this time I really want it to have it na. I checked it online by 11 am and its still STATUS: received try to refresh the page every now and then by 12 noon it changed to STATUS: under review. I refreshed the page again ang after 30-40 minutes it changed to APPROVED!! πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ™πŸ»β˜πŸ»οΈ I was so happy, supposedly their instruction was to call them first before getting the passport but because of excitement I went their and get it, they just gave it anyway! Woohoooo! We experienced snow last dec.20 in the namsam tower so we are really blessed, just arrived here in Cebu earlier 2 am. So I think the secret there is to make sure that you can explain everything in a cover letter and provide the best phone number from your HR. Wishing everyone merry Christmas! I hope you can all fly to Korea because it is soo sooo sooo beautiful country! β˜ƒβ„οΈπŸŒ¨πŸ’¨πŸ˜˜

  • Hi,
    I was planning to go Korea as a volunteer in pyeongchang 2018 in February. I have been in Korea for 6 times but whenever i apply for visa i always get nervous until now. The embassy always changed their policy so it makes me always nervous but thankfully i got the good result. I am praying that I will get approval in my application this coming January 23.One thing that I am not sure is about what to put in my visa application this time that i am applying as a volunteer in Olympics.

      • I applied as a volunteer through online application last 2016. I was blessed to pass the pre-screening and was scheduled to online test and interview. I passed the test and interview then was confirmed to be a volunteer. I just visited Korea 5 months ago and I am currently here in Cambodia as a Missionary. I am excited and at the same time nervous for a new experience but I think it will be a great experience.

  • Hi! I was able to book a very cheap ticket to SoKor this year. Medyo impulsive ako sa part na yun kasi super adik kame ng mom ko sa kdrama. I just need your advice regarding her visa application. 25 yrs na syag di nag wowork ako ung mag su-sponsor ng trip nya. Pwd ko ba syang e-declare as housewife tapos kukuha lang kme ng notarize affidavit of full support from me since ung father ko hndi na din nag wowork.

    My Profile

    Intl Bank Employee – 5 yrs (Salary: 45K)
    Bank Account – Payroll and Joint with my Fiancee (1xx,xxx)

    Also,

    Mas better bang gamitin namin ni fiancee ung individaul payroll account namin instead dun sa joint account kasi hndi pa kami kasal. May mga nabasa kasi akong blog na dnied ung visa nila kc joint acct gamit nila with a non-family member.

    Thank you! Looking forward for your response!

  • Hi, nagsumbmit ka ba ng ITR? parang wala kaseng ITR dun sa list ng sinubmit mo, baka yun ang naging cause ng denied visa mo. Nagtravel ako sa Korea with my family last year, Businessman yung dad ko at employed ako sa kanya. Nagsubmit sha ng Documents na magpapatunay ng business nya (like Mayor’s Business Permit, DTI at ITR) Pag ata hindi mo na prove na may work/business ka sa Pilipinas, yun ata ang yung reason pag “no strong economic ties with your home country”
