Guest WenDylan Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Don't hold your breath, it also says... The countries had to meet several requirements, such as issuing hard-to-forge passports and upgrading anti-terrorist laws. Link to comment

PapaBear Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 You haven't needed a visa to visit South Korea since around 2000, to the best of my knowledge..... I don't have personal experience with traveling to Korea but my ex gf was Korean and we were planning to visit....no visa's necessary. Huh? PapaBear B) Link to comment
PapaBear Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Oops....looks like I wrong: (from the Korean Embassy Website) 1.General Visa Information A) As of April 1, 1998, there is a $45 visa-processing fee for U.S. Citizens except for type-A visa applicants. Citizens of Japan, Thailand, the Republic of China, the Philippines (for stay in Korea under 59 days), the United Kingdom (for stay in Korea under 6 months), Sweden, Spain, and Italy do not need to pay a visa-processing fee.Citizens of all other countries must pay a $30 visa-processing fee for a single entry visa. Sorry about that.... PapaBear Link to comment
PapaBear Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Look.....I've answered myself.....here and corrected my mistake. PapaBear Link to comment
PapaBear Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Now I'm going to do a quick turn around and a sort of told ya so by adding something I should have read the first time I reviewed the Korean Embassy Website............ C) A U.S. citizen does not require a visa for a stay up to 90 days for tour, short term business, provided that he/she has proof of transportation out of the country and sufficient funds for the stay. So.........I was kinda right the first time. Americans really don't need a visa for casual stays under 90 days, B) PapaBear Link to comment
Jeikun Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah, but now they don't need visas to visit here either Link to comment
