Answer 1

If you are from America, Canada, Australia or New Zeland or the UK, you can enter the country without a visa (you'll be stamped in as a tourist at immigration) for 30-90 days (depending on your country of origin).

Answer 2

a lot have been asking this question but neverthe less here is a list of what you need: 1. Passport not expiring in the next 6 months. 2. 2X2 picture 3. Employment certificate (if employed) 4. Bank Certificate 5. Birth Certificate You can ask the agency to help you secure a VISA. Visa payment is Php 1000. Processing takes about a week (the longest) to process so i don't think you need any fixer to do that plus Embassies will not tolerate such. Just like when applying for a US VISA they will check on your documents and try to see if you will be back in the Philippines. The Bank Certificate will also prove if you can sustain yourself during your visit. So any trace that you will over stay in South Korean will cause VISA denial.

Answer 3

You need an invitation first from a Korean Citizen.

and two weeks to one month before it gets released.

Everything will go easy after that.

Most nationalities don't need a visa to visit as a tourist. Just a return ticket. Contact your local Korean Embassy to check.

Check this website - the citizens of most developed countries do not need to obtain a visa before arrival - or fill out applications etc on arrival. Canadians get 6 months on entry, Americans, Brits, Australians etc get 30 days - but check the list on the gov. web site I've provided you.
It's quite simple actually.
