Korean Visa, Denied!

We still don't know what happened. I've been up all night thinking what went wrong with my fiance's documents, that he was denied of getting a South Korean visa. I really don't know.


For a Hallyu fan like me, visiting the Land of the Morning Calm aka KPop Nation, is a dream come true. Everyone knows how I've been dying to set foot in Korea. My boss even persuaded me to book a ticket because she knows that I'm not getting any younger and I need to experience the world (FYI, she visits Korea every year). I was hesitant because they require a visa. I was afraid that I will get denied and the ticket will just go to waste. So what if that happens? I will be devastated and I might stop fangirling.




Well, I and my now-husband, still purchased two tickets last year when AirAsia had their 1-peso sale. And yes we took the risk. It was a good deal because we were able to get a fare for just 7,900Php round-trip for two.


Since a single entry visa only has a validity of 60 days, we applied just last week. Let me share you our profile first before listing down the requirements:


Me
Employed and currently working in a leading-shipping company (7 years of working experience)
First-time traveler
ADB - 5,xxx


Him
Employed and currently working in an electronics company (6 years of working experience)
First-time traveler
ADB - 50,xxx



Now, here are the requirements for employees when applying for the visa based on Korean embassy's website:


COMPLETE BASIC REQUIREMENTS:
PERSONAL DOCUMENTS


1.  Visa application form
Application form MUST be duly filled in and signed.  The form can be obtained from the Embassy or you may downloaded here. Make sure not to leave any blanks and just write N/A for questions not applicable.


2.  Passport
Original passport (should be valid for more than 6 months and should be submitted without cover)
Photocopy of Passport Bio-page (page 2)
Original & Photocopy of valid visa/s and arrival stamps to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries (except Korea) for the past 5 years, if applicable. If you haven’t been to any of the OECD countries in the past 5 years, then that’s fine. 


3.   Photo
One passport-sized colored picture. The size was indicated on the left part of the application form.



OTHER SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
Since we are both employed, we'll only  mention the requirements based on our status. For other criteria, kindly follow the details on this link.


 For Employees


1. Employment Certificate (original)
The date on the COE must be within the month of your visa application.
Inform your HR that this is for your Korean tourist visa application. Details of the COE should include the following:

HR landline number – mobile number is not allowed
HR email address


2. Personal Bank Statement (original for last 3 months)

3. Personal Bank Certificate (original; 6 months average balance)
The certificate must include the following:
Account type
Current balance
Account opening date
ADB or Average Daily Balance
I used my payroll account while my fiance used our joint account.
Also note that a bank certificate is not required for applicants with a valid visa or who have been to any OECD member countries within the last 5 years. 


4. ITR(Income Tax Return) or Form 2316 Copy
ITR should readily be available from your HR department. Otherwise, you can request through Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

ADDITIONAL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
1. Copy of PRC Card or IBP Card (If applicable only)
2. If personally invited to Korea, an original invitation letter and passport copy of the Korean invitor is needed. If invited by a company in Korea, an original invitation letter and photocopy of the Korean Company Business Permit. 

I've been researching and scouring every blogs on tips how to get approved in getting a South Korean visa. We followed every single instruction. I believe we did not miss a single information or document they needed. Thus, there's no reason to reject our application.

While I worried a lot that my application will be rejected, fiance on the contrary, was just calm and relaxed. I only have a very small ADB, and I thought, that the consul might consider it as one of the factors in disapproving my visa application. 

-----

We arrived at the embassy before lunchtime. There were lots of applicants and travel agents at the embassy. I glanced on some requirements and noticed that most of it incorrectly followed the instructions (e.g picture were not on the required size, missing documents etc etc). We passed on the first screening. After 10 minutes, we were called on the next window. The lady on the second window browsed through our documents then gave us a claim stub. The application only took us less than 30 minutes. Traveling to McKinley was a bit longer as it took us almost two hours to get to the place.


Three days before claiming our visa, fiance told me that a Korean embassy representative called their office and verified some info. They only asked basic questions per the info on the documents  he submitted.


The day came. I asked my fiance to claim the visa for me as I was not able to file a vacation from work. Then, at around 4 in the afternoon, I received a text from him, informing that his visa was denied and I'm the only one who got an approval. At first, I thought that he was just joking. But as we exchanged messages, I realized that he really got a disapproval from the consul :(


The reason for his approval: "You failed to qualify to the visa category you applied for". What the heck was that?!! He tried asking the Korean lady and she informed that his documents are not enough for the approval. Ugh! 


DENIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!

We were both disappointed. I should be happy (right,?) because I finally got a single entry visa to one of the places I'm dying to visit. But I can't travel to Korea this September without my fiance. That would be lonely :( Should I just cancel the this trip too? AHHHHHH, Eotteokhe! What should I do now?


I don't know if I'll try my luck again in booking a flight to Korea. If one of us will be rejected again, it will be pointless.

      A colleague only had 30k on her payroll account when she applied for visa. It was her first travel abroad as well and she got approved. I guess it really depends on the consul who will be checking your documents.

    Hi, I had the same experience! Me and my boyfriend apply for Korean Visa and I am the only one who got approved, having the same reason why it was denied. I feel so depressed and I don't know what to do :( :( :( Even if it was indicated in the slip that we can re-apply after 6 months, we are still planning to reapply after a month. I don't have any idea if it is possible to submit an appeal letter for the visa denial. And also, if may chance pa din if we knew someone from the embassy who could help us like what they call a "Backer". Willing to pay naman kami. I hope there is still a chance since we already have a ticket :(

      May I ask when are your travelling to Korea? If you still have time, I think you can submit an appeal. But paying a 'backer' is not an assurance that he'll get an approval. I've read on a blog before that it's quite tedious getting re-approval from the consul as they require too many documents. By the way, my husband tried to appeal the day we got our visas. But the consul just advised him to re-apply after six months. Until now, he's still annoyed with what happened and doesn't want to go to Korea anymore :(

      Hi again Chenny! It was not a formal appeal.
      Hubby just went back to the designated window and asked for an explanation.
      But they did not explained the exact reason for disapproval.
      We did not submit a formal appeal, because from what I've read on another blog, the consul will ask you to submit proof or documents (business or land titles/ properties etc) that you can finance your stay in KR.
      We're just average-earners and we cannot present any land titles, business documents or whatsoever.

    Hi. I also got denied with the same reason. I have complete reqts, I travel 2-3 times a year, I have 3 Japan visas and a US visa. I had 100K in my bank and still got denied. To be honest, I dont know what I'll do if I re-apply since I will be sending the same papers to them.

    I also think that "failed to qualify to the visa category" is the most vague reason since you didn't even choose a visa category. I would've understood them if they failed me because of incomplete documents or failed to prove economic ties.

    I've been looking for answer and still don't know how I got denied.

    Hello, I applied as family wiTh my mom. I have a US visa and that will expedite the processing. However, I forgot to include my mom’s bank certificate. Will it be a ground for her to get denied? Looking forward to your response. Thanks!

    My parents got denied for same reason. They submitted all the requirements and we don’t know why they got denied. Anybody here who got a chance to apply for an appeal?

    Super kabado na rin ako.

    Actually, this will be my 3rd time to apply for a South Korea visa. First one was denied, second one was approved last November 2017, which I used on my December 2017 trip.

    Kabado ako kasi mas maliit yung show money na ipapakita ko this time. Last time kasi I had 48k, 8k adb. Ngayon, I have 22k tapos 13k ang adb. I declared 300 usd sa gastos for a 3-day stay.

    Wala naman magbabago sa docs na ipapasa ko. Just the anount of money sa bank.

    Anybody here na nasa 20k lang yung show money and got approved?

    hi Paola, I just read from a travel group that if you got deny, you may reapply for visa using the BDO and BPI Gold promo. However, there is still no assurance for the approval. But she luckily got approved after resubmitting her visa documents after a week of disapproval.
