FAQ & Syarat Visa Korea

Hallo~
sekarang tentang visa korea ya~ yang kemarin belum sempat baca tentang persyaratan visa jepang, yuk dibaca dulu disini
pengalaman kemarin waktu bikin visa korea, bener-bener mepet banget nget, masalahnya kena liburan idul fitri dan waktu ke travel agent pada ditolakin semua :( saran aja nih, buat yang mau trip ke korea, jangan lupa perhatikan jadwal libur dan jadwal kerja mereka PLUS, pembuatan visa korea terhitung lebih lama dari jepang (minimal 6 hari kerja) jadi kalau bisa sebulan sebelum berangkat urus dulu itu visa, jangan sampe kemepeten karena persyaratannya pun tergolong lebih rempong dari visa jepang.

Jadi, apa yang dibutuhkan untuk membuat visa korea? (sumber : kedubes korea jakarta )

nah bisa lihat kan, bedanya sama persyaratan visa jepang? 

• Gimana kalau SPT & SIUP nggak ada?

kemarin kendala paling banyak waktu ngurus visa buat temen juga, kebanyakan dari mereka nggak ada SPT dan SIUP, alhasil waktu kita ke travel agent, dibuatin surat tentang pernyataan hilang bertempelkan materai deh. Buat yang masih pelajar, SIUP & SPT memang masih belum ada tentunya, jadi kalian bisa pake punya ortu kalian. Sekalipun punya ortu kalian hilang, kalian tetap harus bikin keterangan hilang bermaterai. terus juga, kemarin buat jaga-jaga kita juga diminta untuk melampirkan fc npwp nih.

• Surat keterangan kerja dan mahasiswa disediakan nggak disana?

Buat surat keterangan kerja dan keterangan mahasiswa ini kalian urus di tempat masing-masing ya, kalau bisa dibubuhkan cap dan tandatangan atasan kalian. Kalau di universitas aku sih kemarin waktu ngurus langsung ditanya buat apa, jadi karena jawab untuk visa, langsung dibubuhkan cap + tandatangan dekan/rektor.

• untuk persyaratan fotonya gimana ya?

nah ini kemarin sempat bingung juga sih, waktu kemarin lihat di web memang gak ada keterangan, tapi dari sananya memang persyaratan untuk foto visa korea 4,5 cm x 3,5 cm, tapi waktu di travel agent kita diminta untuk menyerahkan foto 4 x 6 cm (ya mungkin untuk dipotong), berlatar belakang putih ya~ kemudian juga kemarin diimbau buat foto presentasi muka 60% di travel agent kita

•  berapa biaya buat bikin visa korea?

per Juli 2017 kemarin, bikin visa single entry harganya 544k, multiple entry 1.244k, dan double visa 952k, mahal, memang, tapi sebanding kok sama belanja sampe puasnya disana wkwkwk

• dimana visa download formnya?

nah kemarin nih pengalaman waktu mau ngajukan sendiri, langsung gagal paham sama form yang di download di web resminya karena semuanya berbahasa korea, hangeul pula wkwkwk jadi alhasil karena bahas korea saya tidak se-expert itu, langsung aja deh ngurus di travel agent. Tapi ternyata saya baru menemukan kalau ada form yang berbahasa inggris hohoho jadi kalian bisa download disini di web resminya

• berapa minimal saldo tabungan buat pembuatan visa korea?

Kemarin waktu sebelum ngurus, baca-baca ada yang bilang 10jt, eh tapi ternyata waktu tanya di travel agent kita dibilangin kalau minimal saldo tabungan per orang 35juta

• bagaimana cara membuat surat referensi bank?

nah khusus yang satu ini kalian langsung dateng ke bank kalian masing masing ya, kemarin waktu teman-teman ke bank bri, butuh 2 hari untuk bikin surat referensi bank (selesai hari besok) dan buat bank bca, langsung sehari jadi, dua-dunya kena charge 100k. Jangan lupa, kalau kesana minta surat referensi bank ditujukan untuk kedubes korea di jakarta yaa~ terus, kalau ditanya mau dicantumkan saldo tabungan atau nggak, ini bebas, tapi kemarin sengaja nggak kucantumin biar kalau disuruh nambah saldo tabungan kita nggak usah ganti surat referensi bank yang baru lagi.

Nah buat visa korea, sekian dulu ya, karena pengalaman terakhir kemarin memang nggak apply sendiri, alasannya karena jakarta sangat jauh dari tempat tinggal dan kemarin sudah mepet banget jadi langsung aja deh ke travel agent hehe. Yang mau cari tahu lebih lanjut tentang apply visa korea sendiri, coba baca di blog backpackstory disini 

CARA MENGECEK VISA KOREA

Kemudian, bedanya sama pembuatan visa Jepang, hasil jadi visa korea ini bisa kalian lihat di website mereka, jadi kalian  bisa tahu apakah visa kalian sudah selesai di proses atau tidak. Kalian bisa cek disini, tapi sering error kalau dibuka, jadi disarankan bukanya pake vpn ya.

Terus juga, ini nih, kemarin sempat ada masalah kalau pas dilihat di web kok search data not found, nah ini berarti kesalahan kalian di input datanya. Ikuti langkah langkah ini jika kalian mau input data untuk mengecek proses visa kalian :

1.  Pilih application > Diplomatic office
2.  Select > Paspor no. > input nomor paspor kalian, tanpa spasi ya 
3.  Name in english : Masukkan nama kalian dari Last Name dulu baru first name, middle name

Jadi semisal nih nama kalian ada 3 kata, seperti 'mira wiji lestari' nulisnya jadi 'lestari mira wiji' dan semisal nama kalian ada apostrophe (') tandanya nama kalian bakal dipenggal, daaaan ini pengalaman banget kemarin submit visa korea bareng temen berlima, 4 sudah approved, 1 orang search data not found mulu sampe keringat dingin. Ehhhh ternyata, kalau ada apostrophe di nama kamu jadinya dianggap dipenggal namanya, jadi begini, misal namanya 'emeralda cintya fikrotul mar'ah' kalian nanti tulis jadi 'ah emeralda cintya fikrotul mar' begituu, dan syukurlah akhirnya kita berlima bertuliskan approved dan visa korea akhirnya bisa diambil xD

Jadi sekian dulu penjelasannya tentang visa korea ya, yang mau tanya-tanya bisa silahkan komentar dibawah ini~ See you later~

Korea AirBnB : Yongsan-Gu

Hello! I'm here again to review my previous airBnB when i was in korea ~
Korea itself is such a shopping heaven! eventhough i thought that i didn't shop that much, but well in reality... i really bought so much things when i was in korea xD specially all dat beauty products and fashion! ( i will review these shopping streets later, okay)
now, now, i will review my stay when i was in Korea ^^

Since this is my first time in Korea, i still didn't know that much about the area and surrounding, but looking from its place, my stay is really strategic! It is located in Yongsan-gu and my reason for choosing this place is because it is really near to station and to the center of the town, and plus it's cheap but the place looks really great, and it has been proved! The host itself is really nice and friendly, eventhough i'm so chatty and have a lot of question, he really helped me so much in the end TwT that's why i'd love to recommend this place ~

Namyeong Station

it is only about 5 minutes to Namyeong station by walk (Namyeong station is really close to seoul station, you don't need any stops if you went to this station from seoul station, and it's like only 2 minutes by train from seoul station to namyeong) and on the way home, you will meet a lot of shops, from 7-eleven, gs25, krispy kreme, and a lot of restaurants! even the house itself is beside and just in front of restaurants, so you don't need to worry about empty stomach xD (the restaurant just beside the house is open until 11 am) and there is nearby cute small cafe called cafe comma ~ and there are dozens of korean restaurant just behind your house ^^

neighborhood, a lot of cafes and restaurant

The way to the house, there is sooo many korean restaurant here!

The Restaurant that is just beside the house (it opens until midnight)

And GS25 that is close to the house ~

The house itself is located in the second floor, so if you have suitcase, you need to bring it upstairs since there are no elevator and the alleyway is small, but after that everything about it is perfect ^^
The house is pretty vast and the amenities are perfect. You got everything you need for (from hairdryer, steamer for ironing your clothes, washing machine, soaps, shampoo, LCD, wifi, laptop, etc) i would say that this stay is the best stay i've ever been in korea! If you look at the photos in the airbnb page, it's true that the place is like that, it's clean and it's perfect ^^

In the kitchen, you will have seasonings, ramen, refrigerator and a lot of kitchen supplies too ~ we have a really good time staying here, we made breakfast and dinner just perfectly because the supplies is just great ^^
I remembered very well that it has 3 bedrooms, thus this stay is perfect for me and my friends because it has a lot of beds. The main bedroom has 3 beds, and the second bedroom has 2 beds, and the last has one bed with makeup table.

In the center, you will have living room and there is lcd and its 'hidden' screen (you can just pull it if you want to watch movie, so it will separate the living room and the space between kitchen) and there are a lot of manga and novels, like really a lot but of course in korean xD i feel like the host really match to my manga taste, it has nishimori hiroyuki's works, gantz, jin, hunter x hunter and so on. I spent the other night reading manga and also novels that located in the first bedroom, i can only read a little since everything is in hangeul x_x

korean books

The bathroom is just fine, it has washing machine and shower ~ there are two bathroom, but in the end we only use one because the second bathroom we use for drying clothes. oh and also, there are so many clean towels to use, so you don't need to worry xD

The entire look of the main room (so sorry, i was completely forget about taking pics of the house xD instead i fool around and made videos that later is unusable for my blog TwT)

There are a lot of air conditioner and fans, that's why this house is really cool eventhough it's summer, and i'm really thankful for that! i dunno why but i kinda hate summer in korea because it has this horrible humidity eventhough it's not raining :( it's not that hot, but oh it's just so humid i hate it (it is way worse than in Indonesia i think, specially in my hometown) it is the kind of humid that makes your face gets oily in second and makes you sweat just seconds after you go outside the house D:

But afterall, my journey and my stay in Korea is great!
