Check South Korea Visa Application Status online

E-visa application is also available on the website however I’m not sure if Filipinos are allowed to apply online. I think it’s for those countries which do not have any South Korean Consulate. But you can try yourself and please tell me if you are successful or not. πŸ™‚


Otherwise, you can always apply directly at the Consulate of the Republic of Korea in Manila or Cebu. The process is super easy as long as you’re prepared and have complete and legit requirements. Follow my super detailed guide here: https://laagankaayo.com/south-korean-visa-guide-for-filipinos/

For more information, please visit the consulate’s official website here: http://embassy_philippines.mofa.go.kr/english/as/embassy_philippines/visa/requirement/index.jsp

May pagasa pa kaya ako maapproved though lahat ng requirements nasubmit ko naman only thing is nagkamali ako sa funding details. Please your advise. Ang flight namin supposedly this coming oct 22.

    1. Hi Kaye, sorry di ko ma tancha yung magiging decision ng consul kasi ikaw pa lang yung naka pag feedback sakin ng ganito. Anyways, think positive ka nlng muna kasi wala na tayo magagawa so fa ..balitaan mo ko! πŸ™‚

  3. Hi, nakita ko you applied on Sept 27. Kailan mo nakita yung APPROVED results? Kakaba maghintay hehe. Thanks!

    1. Hi Cassie.. actually hindi to applicable sakin kasi nalaman ko tong website eh nakuha ko na yung visa mismo and approve ako. But my friend who applied on Sept 27 sa Manila.. chineck niya on Sept 29 and she was approved! pero sa Oct 2 pa yung naka sched na claim niya.. So check mo lang mga after 2 or 3 days siguro..baka mag update na. balitaan mo ko! πŸ™‚

  4. Hello Po! Thank you po sa blog nyo medyo nakatulong sya sakin mabawasan yung kaba ko magantay. Nacheck ko pp ung status ng applicatipn ko nd ang sabi lng dun application received. huhu wala pa syang application number ang walang nakalagay na purpose of entry. is it a good sign or not kinakabahan tlga ako eh

    1. hello Jean! when ka nag submit ng application mo? if today lang.. bigyan mo muna ng mga 3 to 4 days bago mo check ulit yung site. di kasi agad nag rereflect yung results. Sa case ng kaibigan ko last week lng(sa cebu), on the day ng schedule ng release ng visa niya, dun lang din nag reflect sa site kung ano yung result(which is approve naman πŸ˜€ ). so mejo thrilling parin. pero think positve ka lang. as long as complete naman yung requirements na sinubmit mo, I’m sure walang magiging problema. balitaan mo ko!

    1. Hello Mam! hehe Good news po! approve po ako hehe nakatulong tlga ung mga information nyo king pano fillupan ng maayos ung application form hehe.

    1. hi Neth.. I’m not sure if they will put denied if your application is. sorry late reply ha, I’m currently traveling around Bali right now and mahirap mag check ng emails and notifs πŸ™ I hope approve yung visa mo.. I’m quite positive about it! balitaan mo ko! πŸ™‚

    1. Hi Tin.. hindi talaga super reliable yung site. Yung iba meron results agad, yung iba naman halos walang update and “receive” lng yung nakalagay.. pero so far ngayon ba? nakuha muna yung results mo for sure. Sorry for the late reply. I’m currently traveling around Bali right now and mahirap mag check ng emails and notifs. Balitaan mo ko!

  5. Hello! my (2) friends and I applied last Monday. Upon checking the online portal, 2 of them are already “Approved” while mine still states “Application Received”. Weird lang kasi sabay sabay naman kami and magkakasunod when docs were submitted. I want to be positive but can’t help na kabahan. Feeling ko pa naman ako ang pinaka Korean fanatic tapos baka ako pa ang hndi makakasama ? But i am still praying ?? Any thoughts? Sa monday ang tentative release date.

    1. Hello! I’m really sorry for the late reply.. I’m currently traveling around Bali right now and hirap ako mag check ng emails and notifs. Kumusta yung results mo? im sure approve ka! balitaan mo ko! <3

    1. Hi Bes! same case lng din tayo nung nag check ako sa status online.. “application receive” din. actually, nag change lng yung status ko on the day na na e-ki-claim na yung visa. tapos ayun approved naman.. normal lng yan na kabahan.. pero wala talaga tayo magagawa kundi mag hintay.. haha kung complete naman yung requirements na sinubmit mo, i don’t think erereject ka nila πŸ™‚ balitaan mo ko!

  16. Hi πŸ™‚

    Since thru agency na po ngayon application hindi kami sure kung kelan ang releasing ng visa namin πŸ™
    Pero last Monday sure kaming napadala na sa embassy yung application namin kasi by checking Korean Visa portal naka Application Received na rin. Yung isa naming kasama approved na since may OECD sya at bdo holder din kaso kaming tatlo till now naka Application Received parin at ito na yung 5th day huhu. nakaka kaba kasi hnd pa kami kinokontak ng agency tapos every hour ako nag rerefresh. glad to know na madami rin palang cases na ganon na mejo matagal reflection sa site.
    Hopefully ma approved din kami πŸ™‚

    1. Hi Vannesa, I think na “receive nila” ang ibig sabihin niyan. pero di lng ako sure.. you can ask directly nlng sa embassy mismo para sure. balitaan mo ko! πŸ™‚
