Thanks for your input @borrise. Nagwork pud ba ka ron sa S. Korea?

We are actually applying for D9. Target date of mobilization March 25 na waiting pa ko sa Confirmation Of Visa Issuance No. from my employer.
Maka-stress pud

I have another question If I may, are these really required?
Hepa A, Hepa B, Rabies, Influenza, Typhoid, Japanese B Encephalitis vaccinations

in my recent experience 30-35k is enough for about a week stay (or 6-7 days) including airfare, food, fees, transpo, etc...
could be lesser, depending how good you budget travel

Just some few friendly tips incase (kay mao man sad ni amo gi buhat and we think mas maka save)

Spoiler! 

1. days before your flight, try to change your (PHP) to USdollar
2. then again, get about 30% of the USD and change it to WON (for pocket money)
3. the remaining 70% USD, just change lang to WON when you get to seoul, Preferably NOT on the airport.
try in myeongdong, nandaemun, other districts or one nearest to your place. pero better canvas first kung asa ang best rates offered. Dali raka kita ug Currency Exchange shop ngadto. If you need help just look for a logo with letter " i " that is Tourist Information, naa rana sila offices sa streets or find a TI personnel wearing red with the logo like this picture

they speak really good english !

Cheers!

pila ka days makuha ang visa then pila ka months valid nga dapat ka molarga na ug Korea... am planning October if mapush through so unsa kaha nga month ko kuha Visa ana... thanks daan

Seoul - Busan - Jeju = kana kay medyo dako dako najud kelangan budget ana. again will also depend on how many days

its not hassle getting visa if thru trav agency

Show money? = Original Personal Bank Certificate (NOT Bank Statement) I think there's no specific amount required pero better siguro if like 20k or above

[vanrusty]

dali ra kaadto? and pila kahay gasto?

[pirehro]

@vanrusty

may take time (visa, itinerary, bookings, necessary documents, etc...)

budget may depend on a lot of things:

Spoiler! 

- how you travel (backpacker, tourist, etc...)
- duration of your stay
- purchase date of your ticket / price of the plane ticket
- your itinerary
- how you budget meals, shopping, etc...

and a whole lot more

again if you failed to read previous posts, #83 .

in my recent experience 30-35k is enough for about a week stay (or 6-7 days) including airfare, food, fees, transpo, etc...

I don't think vaccination is required in getting a D9 visa. Kung ang inyo company is paying for the vaccination,i think it is advantage sa imo side. I heard D9 visa is for foreign employee who is working for foreign company, i mean not locally based from korea.
