I successfully completed the visa application with Seoul Embassy (very strict)

We applied for soft power category and they asked us a lot of documents that we didn’t have it like a tax document from own country (my gf worked in foreign countries for 3 years)

So I decided to write letter to explain everything about the situation and our plan to make the financial stable,

So I just want to share that aside all documents you provided you can also write them letter to explain with the attached evidence to show them your words is true.

I got approved after submit additional documents in 3 days, so happy.

So if you have any questions and your intentions to come here is not dirty😂 you can ask me any questions if you would like to

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post shares a successful experience of obtaining a Thai visa through the Seoul Embassy, where the writer had to provide additional documentation and a letter of explanation due to missing tax documents. The emphasis is on the effectiveness of including a personal letter to clarify the situation and intentions, which contributed to the approval of the visa application.

Question: can you comment on what soft power you applied for and what location, and for how long is the course? Also, the price of it would be helpful.

I chose Muay Thai in Bangkok, I applied 4 months courses since S.Korean can be in Thailand without Visa for 90 days so 3 months course is too risky to be rejected. Consider your own country passport too, and make the right duration that suitable for you because it might be different for each country 🙂 the accommodation document is also very important.

Yes, a letter of explanation is very useful, if you cannot provide what is asked for. Enjoy being a DTVER!
