issuance of tourist visa to south korea,is it possible not to obtain one if you're only staying for 2 weeks?
my husband is working in Korea as an OFW and we're planning that july next year,it will be my turn and our son to visit him and have a tour in Korea for 2 weeks..I've read from one of the answers here that if you're going to South Korea for 30 days below,you don't need to get a visa..how reliable is it?..and if ever we still need it,do you think it's really hard to get a tourist visa going to South Korea?
