Am sorry to shock you, there is no any countrys' embassy will issue u a visa without appearance simple, the visa is fake!

Actually, Australia offers visa without appearance

This visa matter na wa o!

You are well-informed.Its not only australia but many other countries too.

Well, for south Korean visa, you don't have to appear for visa. Someone can apply for your visa.

Anyway, I can help you verify the visa. I will compare with the ones I have in my passport, or give you the contact of my friend at Lagos consulate near banana island.

Note:
1. South Korea visa doesn't hv applicants photo on it.
2. Visa number starts with NJ for Abuja, LG for Lagos
3. It's written Republic of Korea, and not South Korea at the top.
4. Check the remark section to see the name of your Korean sponsor.
5. The visa is stenciled "KOR" all over it so that it's not easy to peel from the passport page.

Caution:
Having a Korean visa doesn't guarantee entry. On arrival at Inchon, you have to go through interrogation. They will call your sponsor. He has to be your guarantor. They will search your bags for drugs and clothing label-If you have lived in Korea illegally and gone home to do "U" turn with a new passport, you might have somethings to show , clothes, coins, name cards etc. sometimes they will ask you question in Korean, just to see your reaction. Finally, your funds. How much you have on you will determine if they'll let you into town or call your airline to take you home

How will you do that? Will the op send you a copy of the visa or the passport itself?

A copy of the visa, just to compare with the ones in my passport; check the remarks (mostly written in Korean).
If the sticker is the same with what I have in passport, he could further verify the visa by visiting the consulate.


@ op. read the pidgin english part of my post.

So from the photocopy you will be able to see even the security features?

My friend, it's not about the security features. All forgers have to do is use old/ used visa, clean the name, issue and expiry date, re-type op's data on the used visa as a new one. But where they will have a problem is typing Korean fonts. That's what I want to check, if they scanned it or they typed it. Secondly from the visa number (which is not typed), it's possible to know when it was issued. Typical visa number NJ8006167 - visa issued in 2008.. If all these checks and others pass, he could then go to the consulate. Simple!

You still don't get it, if the forgers clean the name and the expiry date, how about the visa number and the water mark? Will the forger be able to change all that?

Go to the consulate to do what exactly?

Dude, someone sold this guy a Korean visa with his name and passport number on it, and, as I assume, valid for 90 days. Now he wants to know if the visa is fake or real.

All Korean visas have the same generic watermark, hologram prints, and stencil prints on them. So forgers won't bother these features. If that visa is fake, then all the forgers did were to clean the names, passport number and issue/expiry date of a used Korean visa, and type the op's passport data onto the cleaned visa leaving the visa number intact. It's simple! Thats how it's done in TBS. When I mean "clean" don't think of photoshop gimmicks. They phyically clean the typing on the used visa and retype on it with new data. If you put it under mercury light, it will pass. But how they detect this reprints is with a magnifying glass to check the prints, or at port of entry when they put the visa number in the system.

Well, only at the Korean embassy and at port entry can he check the visa number validity. Since I am neither a hacker, nor with access to embassy database, the best I can suggest is going through the guys working there to check if he has a visa application file. They keep mOst the visa application files.
At the consulate in banana island, they have huge stacks of applicants file at the reception room. Nigerians are working at the reception area. They can help him check unofficially.

That just means all the forgeries and cleaning are just pointless and silly, if the holder can still be caught at the airport.

That is exactly why its difficult for some Nigerians to get a job in the position of trust, we always look for away to by-pass legitimate system.

The whole thing is ridiculous, why would anybody buy forged visa then pay some fraudulent individuals at the embassy to 'check' it unofficially while applying directly to Korean embassy cost as little as $30?

Dude, his visa might not be fake? That's why he wants to get it verified.

$30 doesn't get him a Korean visa without a korean guarantor to provide the necessary documents :tax clearance, signed guarantee form, employment history, publicly notarized invitation, ID copy etc.

All forgeries are not pointless and useless, because many have used them to board planes and seek "aduro" on arrival. Is right or wrong? Well, ask them dudes who used ''em in early 90's to Japan, Europe and America, chop "aduro", now either permanent resident or citizen.

What are you going on about fraud? Having someone at embassy check if visa is valid or not is fraud? Please! Having someone in jamb/waec check your result is fraud?

Well, the truth is there are visa agents. Some help you get a valid visa for a fee, some put a fake visa for a fee.
Op has a korean visa in his passport. We don't know if his visa is valid. Op doesn't know if visa is valid. He paid for the visa. He wants to travel out of Nigeria. What does he do?

Must one travel out of Nigeria if you don't meet visa requirements? If he can't meet Korea visa requirements then he should look elsewhere.

Did you just say 90s? How can you compare decades ago to present day?

Yes its fraudulent to approach some 'guys' at the embassy and pay them to check the validity of your visa 'unofficially'

@OP
If its a valid visa, call your agent to get the contact of the Korean guarantor. Also get copies if the notarized invitation letter. Check your visa status. If its a C2 that means you got a business visa. If C3 -tourist/visiting visa. As a Nigerian, you need a guarantor for a tourist/visiting visa. If you don't have the Korean guarantor contacts, then don't bother wasting flight fare to Korea. Immigration wouldn't waste a minute with you. They'd call your airline to take you back immediately.

If C2, you must know what your korean guarantor wrote on the invitation. They will call him or her and ask what you're buying, and at what price. They will also ask you the same. If both answers are different, bye bye to entering Seoul. Secondly have sufficient fund as a business man.

In Seoul, there are places where you'd find Nigerians. Most folks are in Itaewon and Habangchon. There you can get a cheap motel for 20$ a night. Make friends, someone will introduce you to a factory or warehouse job. Salary ranges from 1.5 million won ~ 2 million won (1800$) depending on the factory. If your visa is a 30day visa, then go to immigration at city hall to get a full 90day visa at the cost of $25.
The issue you'd have is getting residence. That's up to you. There are different routes : student, investor, marriage ( locals or expats). Local will be a bit easy if you are fine and have some swag. Investor route requires 100,000$ foreign direct investment. Student visa is difficult... Working and schooling is hard!!!!

Its possible to get some visas without apperance , when I applied for South African Visa , I submit my applications at vfs office @ abuja and my visa is ready in 3 days ... I met some agents @ vfs office submitting documents for there clients too VFS will take your document and submit to South african Embassy while you go and pick your application at VFS .....

Please can I get more information on how to apply and contacts of good agents for Korean visa and likely cost estimates
