Korean Visa without ITR — Here’s How I Successfully Did It!

[NEWS]: This 2024, the Korean Embassy and Korean Consulate in Cebu announced the simplification of visa application documents where qualified applicants including PRC license holders, government officials, elected officials, and specific credit card holders (BDO, BPI, RCBC, Metrobank) and their families can apply for a Korean visa without ITR (Income Tax Return), bank certificates, and bank statements. Visit the Korean Embassy’s official website for the latest news and updates.

Before anything else, you should know that the Korean visa applications may now be processed via one of the designated travel agencies , the  Korea Visa Application Center (KVAC) in Manila for walk-in applicants, or the Korean Consulate in Cebu on the scheduled Korean visa online appointment for Cebu-based applicants.

Previously, I got my Korean tourist visa even though I lack the ITR requirement. At the time, I was fairly new to the job and didn’t have an ITR just yet. I understand the struggle and dread of not having this document to back your visa application. So, I’m creating this South Korean visa without ITR guide for those who want to try their luck, too. Although I do not guarantee the same outcome for you, I hope this will help you in your Korean visa application.

Side note: If you are a freelancer who wants to legitimize your profession to avoid ITR problems when you apply for visas in the future, I highly recommend that you register as a self-employed professional at BIR. You may refer to my freelancer BIR registration guide .

My Korean visa without ITR tips

Tip #1: write your korean visa cover letter.

First things first. Compose a convincing and professional cover letter, especially when applying for a Korean visa with no ITR (like my case). The Korean visa cover letter should express your intent to travel to South Korea and explain why you are applying for a South Korea visa without ITR. Below is my Korean visa sample cover letter to guide you in writing your own.

Sample letter of explanation for no ITR Korean visa

[Date of Application]

Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the Republic of the Philippines 122 Upper McKinley Road, McKinley Town Center, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig city 1634, Philippines

Dear Sir / Madam:

I am writing this letter to express my interest to travel to South Korea and explain why I do not have an Income Tax Return (ITR) as part of my South Korea visa requirements.

I understand that an ITR will show my strong social and economic ties to the  Philippines, and that I will return home exactly on my scheduled return date. Unfortunately, for now, I do not have an ITR for my South Korea visa application because… [write your reasons]

In addition, my passport shows that I have already traveled to… [indicate your travel history: destinations, travel dates, and travel buddies]

I would love to see and experience South Korea myself because… [state your personal reasons why you love to travel to South Korea]

You may read my travel stories on my travel blog… [add URLs of personal blogs or platforms for your published works, if applicable]

I have attached the following documents to prove my travel capacity:

[list the documents you included in your application]

Hope you find everything in order. Thank you!

[Complete name with signature]

Tip #2: List the Korean visa requirements and gather them

Make your own list of South Korea visa requirements and gather all of your documents.

So, how long should it take for you to complete the requirements and apply for your Korean visa? Give it at least two to three months. The validity of the Korean visa is three months anyway, so you have enough time to prepare. Meaning, if your Korean visa is approved today, you still have the next three months to use it to enter Korea.

For example, if you intend to travel in March, during the Korea spring season , your requirements should be ready for submission by January. In our case, when we had our Korea winter holiday in December, we already prepared our Korean visa requirements in mid-October.

Tip #3: Attach supporting documents

While the Korean Embassy discourages you to book your flights and hotels before your Korean visa is granted, you may still opt to attach some supporting documents to prove your travel capacity. These supporting documents may include credit card statements and owned assets under your name.

Additional Tip: Since hotel name, address, and contact number are needed when you apply for your Korean visa, might as well book your hotel stay in Korea ahead. However, you should choose the one with a free cancellation policy in case your visa gets denied. You can check out Klook  or  Agoda where some properties offer free cancelation of up to 48 hours.

Tip #4: Apply through accredited travel agencies only

If you intend to apply for a South Korea tourist visa through a travel agency, make sure that it is accredited by the Korean Embassy. See this list of designated travel agencies for Korean visa .

Tip #5: Follow my South Korea visa application guide for Filipinos

Disclaimer: While my South Korean visa without ITR was approved before, I do not advocate that you apply with incomplete requirements. I still recommend that you strive to complete the requirements set by the Korean Embassy  or Korean Consulate in Cebu to avoid complications. This article was originally published in Jan 2019 but is constantly updated for reliability and accuracy of information.

How about applying visa without travel experience? Is there any chances of approval?

Travel history is not stated as a requirement in applying for a South Korean visa so you can still try your luck. However, building up your travel history could help in increasing your chances of visa approval as this will provide additional proof that you have every intention to go back to your country of origin as seen from your previous travels.

Hope this helps! And best of luck in your Korean visa application soon! 🙂
