Hmmmmmn.

I can't believe you're taking what I wrote as an attack on your personality. I even quoted you to corroborate your point when someone requested for more clarity on the kind of tedious job I made mention.

You have been doing a great job here and so other people too and I never for once hide it from anyone on this forum regarding how helpful you're by seeking your opinions on my scholarship issue and sending your CV and study plan for perusal for my Visa application.

I would have preferred you sent me a personal message to seek for clarity than the way you have responded here. If by any means you felt offended based on what I wrote, I am very sorry. Your thinking is quite different from the message I passed.

I never wanted to say this because we didn't do it for any praise from anyone, a friend of my that facilitated my coming to SK and I have secured seven admission slots ( 3masters and 4PhDs) for Nigerians in the next semester and they have all applied. They will be coming to SK come February by God's grace.
Individual has reasons why he or she is assisting people but mine has never been for any personal gains for whatsoever.

Please I am so sorry if you felt bad or hurt about what I wrote. You put some abusive words like "careless, trechery and the likes" there which I don't know if actually you really meant what you wrote but I believe it is because of the way you felt so I won't let it bothers me much. #Peacebro

I apologize for my spontaneous outburst here if that didn't go down well with you Mr. Adbash.

Just that i felt there was need to put records straight on the fact that as a legitimate scholar in SK, one could secure very good-paying, easy and non-strenuous PT jobs here as well other than logistics(Tekpe) jobs, and also the fact that those of us over-here not wanting to disclose such personal or often invasive day-to-day life activities here on this platform doesn't imply they are vague or "over-hyped" when we mention them here.
I could've chosen to act ignorant or play the silent game to that comment, but you and i know that "silence or in-action implies acceptance to guilt."

I once read a good-old thread from Acadollar here, on the fact that one could earn hugely(cant remember the figure he quoted back then) on factory jobs here even as students, and some folks here didn't take him seriously. They had to continually cross-examine/scrutinize the poor fella's comments. Some even went so rude, judgemental, and negative about those comments.
It's always a Nigerian thing(to not finding people's great/selfless comments, credible enough even when the person has got nothing to gain or loose by making such comments. They always wanna be doubly and triple-Ly sure about such obvious truthful statements and might even knowingly or unknowingly embarrass your person in trying to verify the truthfulness of such comments), and that mindset has to change a bit!


Like i did say from the start, my outburst was spontaneous and is highly regretted. They sure wont take away the fact that we shall forever remain brothers(same heritage) and good friends too.

Cheers.

Adbash:


@Suxex.

Thanks for the humble response. You actually poured out my mind.

We should try as much as possible not to over hype things so that people won't be disappointed when they arrive here.


Let them know the pros and cons of coming and the available jobs. There is a Zambia guy in my domain here, he has been the one looking for jobs for all African guys here at zero cost. But not a lot of people can actually do those jobs. I was there and I saw it, I am talking from experience.

May God Almighty bless our struggles. Ameen.

Hello Mr. Adbash,

Am just wondering if your cautious, but slighting comment of getting realities over-hyped was directed at my person or just an open comment.

First off, i have no dog in this fight, hence, any aspiring Nigerian should prepare for the very worst when he/she is here in Korea(i have always said those or painted that picture on this platform). I have nothing to gain or loose at not painting the actual realities here.
You just cannot expect me to give a detailed account of my daily life activities here as they unfold Sir, because no one pays me for such info, and just the same way i would not have expected other greats here like Acadollar, KCLuv Et al to do the same for me.

Secondly, You are evidently still fresh or a Newbie in Korea and haven't "tested enough waters" yet, since your arrival(I can bet, owing to our last email conversation of your PT job need and request). But the fact that you have not done or experienced much since your arrival here does not discredit the fact that other people's personal picture of Korea on this platform are often vague and "over-hyped".

Furthermore, All comments/statements of mine on this platform have been corroborated with life lessons, personal experiences and even with those corroborated by my very close friends here, Korean job associates/agents that i currently refer people to work with here and even with the Zambian guy (Mr. Cosmos, in Deagu), that you have mentioned.
Whatever comment you have made here have already been painstakingly exhausted by myself here on pages. 104 (5 Legal and Basic Job types for foreigners....) and 113 (becoming a permanent citizen) and replies to Mr. Sexes2005 on page 124, just to mention a few.
I challenge you to point-out how and where i have failed to give accurate descriptions of things and stuffs here in Korea!

I do not have to be economical with the truth and have never countered anyone's personal picture of his/her realities here in korea on this platform (if you have closely observed my inputs here), and so does other greats here such as Acadollar, KCLuv et al. They never did, they just bare their minds on perennial issues or questions thrown at them and move-on!
That is why i encourage people to go back and read through the threads to get meaningful answers to their often repetitive questions!!!

On a personal note, I have worked in so many job disciplines, which cuts across virtually all the industries since my arrival here in Korea.
I have taught English Language and got paid(and i still do till now, and so does my few friends even on this platform), i have worked in mobile/smart phone factory complexes, Automobile coys, Logistics (Tekbe) coy, i have outsourced my IT/Programming skill-set to coys, outsourced my research and technical skills to research scholars like myself and a whole bunch of other stuffs....all on the side(PT-based)!
I am strong-Willed person(The meaning of Williams), and graciously gifted by God - who strengthens me, because i am still able to combine those with my daily 10am to 9pm Laboratory research/Projects Job.
I know my onion Bro and i am sure you have seen a bit of my profile in the CV and other documents i did send to you to assist you to get here to SK without much hitch as few months back.

Finally, I find your comments about "over-hyping the realities on this platform" as very careless, a bit treacherous and a slap on the faces of people who have been here long before you arrived Korea and who have assisted you to get here in Korea, through this platform or through other means. I strongly advise that you always try to proof-read your comments about peoples opinion on here, or that you just make your thoughts/opinions known to the platform (as we all do here), and move-on. (You may call my attention if my meanings to your comments were a bit assuming or wrongly analyzed).

I hope that helps.

Cheers

It helps so well !

Thanks for the update.

Like an Oliver Twist , I'll ask you this again:

What advice would you give an entrepreneur coming to South Korea who does not plan to get a job but build a company.

Let's say, come with enough to live on for a year, learn te language and try to build a good start up.

I'm sure others are also learning.

Thanks as usual

SHALOM


MY TAKE
1). First have a clearer picture or be more specific on how you intend to come over here, rather than going for the "easiest" visa process. I rather would suggest you go for a long-termed RENEWABLE visa status. It could be visit, academics or any other.

2). Sounds great to know you are an Entrepreneur and could remotely work here too. Try to concentrate on that existing platform when you are finally here(for the time-being), until you are able to get-around with the system well enough on ways you can partner with a Korean or Permanent Non-Korean resident here, in order to establish your own Coy Sir.

3). If you do not intend working here at all, please ensure you have sufficient financial backbone prior to arrival, as the cost of living here is relatively high and could leave you dry in no short time, if you are not prepared.

I hope that helps.
Cheers.

Always articulate with answers.

You said it's worth it, right ? Awesome.

My question is for those who do not have strength to do factory jobs, how easy can such group of people live well down there ?

Of course, no illegal work or hustle considered.

SHALOM

Hello Sexes2005,

Thanks again!!!
Well, not all factory jobs here are back-breaking or strenuous!
Some are as easy as what multi-national coys like Cadbury Nig, Nestle Nig Plc, Oil/Gas, Manufacturing, etc, engage Nigerian First-class degree Graduates with, back home(I could personally attest to that).
However, other jobs you could get around with here while studying are either as an English teacher(if you are lucky enough) or as a Software/IT-based skilled contractor/programmer/freelance to coys. A few others are as interns/executives to real/formal coys (Strong Knowledge of Korean Language is required here)

Once you are done with your studies, you will get a chance to vie for real and formal company jobs, just like an average Korean here.
High-points:
1. Jobs are quite easy to secure here but with good grades and strong Knowledge of Korean Language upon graduation.
2. Pay package is considerably high and even higher than other developed countries. Minimum. $2000 USD/Month.
3. Ability to relocate to other developed and 1st classed countries (just like S. Korea), is at the tip of your fingers.

I hope that helps.
Cheers.

Please, I want to ask this question
Does SK Visa really cost 400k naira?
Your reply will be highly appreciated.
Cc Acadolla Will10 and other bosses in the house

Hello Mavin1,

Visa Application charges(directly from the SK Embassies in Nigeria) are obviously less than 15% of the amount you have quoted. However, VISA agents or agencies may have quoted that figure based entirely on the services they would be providing or rendering to you.
Take a look at the existing visa application price-list found on the SK website and on here too: http://www.vfsglobal.com/Korea/Nigeria/Businees_Visa.html

Is it worth it?
Yes, paying that much to come here is worth it if only they can guarantee you a genuine visa in the end.

I hope that helps.

Juzzywezzy:
greetings to all in the house, the masters Will10, Accadollar, and everyone

I write to ask this recently I went to apply for visa in Abuja
(student visa) I have been I contact with my school in SK
and I submitted a bank statement the one from my uncle a business man
so after all said and done with the school, I went to apply for visa in abuja
on getting to their embassy I was ushered inside by the guards
and I sat and wait for my turn as directed by the VO
as I came to his desk he gave me a form to arrange my document
according to the requirements in the form.

So to cut the long story short I saw this its no.3 requirement on the form
for student visa, that when applying for visa that you should
submit a bank statement that is from an Abuja branch bank
and I don't have that at the moment, so gurus in the house
how do I go about this.
And my uncle is very busy to come to abuja and get this for me as he is always busy
with his work.
and the VO said it should be submitted as instructed
if not it might lead to denial of visa.


Please those that have gone this road before direct me aright
as I have a few days to go back to the embassy.


God bless everyone that gives a helpful suggestion.!!!

Thank you all!!!!


There are three(3)-ways i could work around this issue if in your shoes, but (1) and (2) would strongly require your uncle's effort.

1. Get a sworn affidavit from your uncle indicating that he is the owner of the bank account information and too indisposed to get a copy of the-same account details around Abuja as a result of work location, inconvenient travel plans, health condition or whatever(half-truths are allowed). Have that attached to the account document you have and...se gbo be(safe landing/journey)!

2. Depending on how influential or accessible he(your uncle) is to his bank account officer(s), just a call through from your uncle would have the bank account officer radio Abuja branch immediately to issue you another copy from their end on his behalf.

3. Issue a sworn affidavit informing the embassy that your uncle is too indisposed and presently confined to another location or whatever(half-truths are allowed). Have that attached to the account document you have and...se gbo be(safe landing/journey)!


NB: On a lighter note, your greetings should appear in this way Sir, "....The masters Accadollar and everyone". I nor fit be master o grin

I hope that helps.

Please I am a little bit confused on something... after legalization and authentication of my degree certificates at the ministry of education and foreign affairs... do I still need to take it to south Korean embassy for authentication again? because when I called them, they said they didn't understand me.

I guess some members of this house are really getting this legalization and authentication of degree certificates mixed-up!

Here is a lil helpful information.

1. Legalization and authentication of degree certificates can only by done by the foreign affairs/MOE of the issuing country. For instance, If mine were from Universities/institutions in Nigeria, then only the Nigerian foreign affairs ministry/MOE could have them verified and authenticated.
2. However, any document could be notarized/attested by a notary public, irrespective of the issuing country.

To answer your questions, No Sir! You do not have to re-authenticate any document again. All you need do is to make clear copies of the already authenticated documents and have them notarized/attested by the public notary officer(commonly found around the Nigerian court premises), prior to your visa applications at the SK embassy.

Try not to complicate issues for yourself and the SK embassy. grin grin grin

I hope this helps.

My Experience at Abuja VFS office
Date: 27th July
Program Applied for: PhD
Docs Submitted
1. Properly filled visa application form with two passports.
2. International passport with coloured copy of the data page
3. Study plan/statement of purpose
4. Photocopies of my certificates from Primary school to Masters level (Original copies of my first and second degrees are in Korean)
5. Admission documents such as original certificate of admission letter, certificate of scholarship from the school, certificate of sponsorship from my professor, my professor's certificate of employment, certificate of incorporation of the school.
6. Official letter from all my HOD.
7. letter of introduction from my employer.


Conversation with the desk officer at VFS office, Abuja

I got there around 3.30pm because I was coming from Ilorin. There were only two people, a guy and a lady, attending to people. It was a lady that checked my documents but after checking them she refused to accept them.

Her reasons:

1. statement of account is missing
2. I didn't notarize my documents at MOE and MFA.
3. I didn't do affidavit of my certificates.

I was trying to explain to her that the certificate of financial support from my professor should suffice for the requested statement of account and also since I am submitting my original certificate of admission that I didn't need to notarize my documents again or do any affidavit but all my explanation fell on her deaf hear. The other guy (should be her senior colleague) now told me to go and look for what the lady said was missing by giving me the checklist of documents required.

I left the VFS office angrily though Will10 had previously told me to collect statement of account of my professor and notarize all my documents but the admission officer of my school insisted that I have all the documents needed for my visa with me.

Immediately I got to my lodge, I mailed the Korea embassy informing them of my experience and the documents I presented. I also called admission officer of the school to help me call the embassy by informing them about my documents rejection at the VFS while also called my professor to send me her statement of account.

At around 9.30a. m. on Friday 28 July, I got a mail from the admission officer that she had spoken with them at the embassy that I should go back to VFS office with all the documents I had with me. I also got a replied mail from the embassy apologizing of how I was treated in the previous day that I should go back to the VFS office with my documents.

I got to the VFS office around 11a. m. on July 28 and I met only the guy, the other lady wasn't on sit. I presented my documents like I did in the previous day and the looked at me and called out my name. He checked through and asked if I will be coming to pick my visa back or use courier for the delivery. He then gave me a teller to make a payment of 32,900. 21000 for visa fee, 7000 for VFS service fee, 400 for SMS charge and 4500 for courier service.

I got a mail from VFS on August 10 that my visa has been processed and deliver to courier agent. I got a call from courier agent on 14 of August to pick up my visa.

I got D2 with 2years visa.

Hello Nairalanders,

I am glad I found this thread and it has been educating. Recently I got an arrangement to travel to S.Korea with a conference visa. My visa will be out on or before 3rd week of September.

I don't intend returning back to Nigeria afta the expiry of my conference visa. Please I need advice on how to go about renewing my visa while in Korea. I am willing to apply for Korea language course on arrival with my conference visa.

Will such arrangement be feasible while in Korea?

I hope the experienced ones on this thread advice me.

Hello smartsolus,
It's almost impossible to apply for an academic visa using a valid conference/business visa in Korea b'cos they are clearly not in the same category of Visa status here in Korea. You may most-likely be asked to return home and seek a fresh Acada visa.

However, you could work-out your ways around the system when you are here, by having it extended based-on G-visa status(possibly), then gather enough cash here and possibly return home to re-apply for acada visa(if that is truly what you want). It all boards down to your arrival here first!
I suggest you have your documents very-ready(as if you are about to seek admission), whenever you are coming over here, so you can throw-in your applications to institutions immediately while still having a valid conference visa. It pays to have a valid visa in a foreign country, Please do not be caught off-guard and do not be tempted to overstay your visa in Korea! Fore-warned is Fore-armed!

I hope this helps.
Cheers

Dear Visa-successful Friends,

I strongly encourage you all to drop-in a more detailed note on the journey to your success story!
Let the house know how your experiences at the embassy and with the embassy officials (V.O) went. Also try itemizing the documentations/requirements/fees/all what-nots, prior to visa applications.

This is to enable the prospective ones out there, to keep a track and have an up-to-date information on the going-around at the embassy(ies) or VFS office(as the case may be). These information would also keep the thread active and well-oiled until the next batch of success-stories.

Finally, I plead that you do not hesitate in passing-on the good deeds you have got from members of this forum(myself inclusive), irrespective of the person seeking for such help. You are now clearly experienced(successful) at South Korea admission and visa-related matters as well and should never hoard these knowledge from others.

Goodluck and Korea welcomes you on-board!

My friend said I should I ask if any of the schools accepts o level applicants for language studies..


Yes....100% affirmative, except in very rare or occasional scenarios and common to very competitive Institutions too.

Basic criteria for Language program admission over-here is good O-level grades.

Lol, this is preposterous! Do they even think it through before coming out with such policy? Many sponsors will not agree to transfer such a huge amount of money abroad for obvious reasons. If they want to start a block-money policy like the Germans do, then they should demand that the money is transferred to a Korea bank before the student is issued a visa not when the student is already in Korea. What of students that no longer rely on their sponsors after securing legitimate part time jobs that take care of their needs, will they be required to produce a Korean bank statement that has $20000? And will a student who is already in Korea studying be deported as a result of his sponsor's inability or refusal to transfer the said amount? Please, if you don't mind can you share a link concerning this policy, let me read up as it is confusing. Thanks.
Will10 Please, can you comment on this.


We(KIT's IO and myself) did visit the immigration office last week to get a clearer picture and have just got a confirmation from the immigration office hot-line about visa extension related-issues.

For D-2 Visa extension

1. If you stay in Seoul or Gyeonggi-do area, you have to submit certificate of financial ability which proves that you have $20,000 USD at least.

2. If you stay in Non-Seoul or Non-Gyeonggi-do area, you have to submit certificate of financial ability which proves that you have $18,000 USD at least.

3. If you are enrolled in the university which is selected as IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System), then the certificate of financial ability can be exempted when extending Visa, but the immigration officer will ask you to submit certificate of financial ability (USD 9,000 at least) if your CGPA is below C grade.

KIT is selected as one of the IEQAS recipients, hence foreign students are exempted, but be informed that there is always exception, so immigration officer might ask you to submit additional certificate even if you are a bonafide student of KIT.

NB: The source and bank information is silent and when we further inquired, we were told they would accept any account details (either from Country of Origin or from SK), provided it has a legitimate cash in it.

So i suppose all Mr. Acadollar has spoken kinda tally-up to our own investigations from KIT except for very few ones here and there. [i][/i]

I hope this helps guys!
Cheers.
