Visa update

It's here, it's here! I'm totally excited right now!
Today I got a registered letter of the Korean consulate in Frankfurt a. M., Germany. And now I am able to stay in Korea for more than 3 months O(≧∇≦)O

Maybe some might find the details interesting, so here they are:

I applied for a student visa (D-2) at the Korean consulate in Frankfurt a. M. (this one is responsible for people living in Bavaria). You can get further information at the embassy's website: Embassy of Korea in Germany 

I had to send them the following documents:
  • completed application form
  • one recent passport-size colour photo
  • Letter of Acceptance from the Korean university
  • passport, valid for the time you want to stay in Korea
  • proof of sufficient funds
  • certificate of enrolment at my German university
  • prepaid, self-addressed envelope 
I sent all this last week as registered mail. Because I was applying for a student visa, I didn't have to pay any fees. This is an important point for German students. Don't pay them anything in advance. You won't get the money back (at least that's what they say on their website about wrongly paid money).
I sent the letter last Thursday and got it back today (Wednesday). When I called the consulate they told me it could take up to 10 days to process my application. But I included a letter, asking to process my application with priority, because I want to leave for Asia in a few weeks. I think that's the reason why it only took them three days. Thank you consulate m(._.)m

A student visa permits multi entry to Korea - *yay*

You know, that I can't guarantee for all the information I gave you. This is how it happened to be in my case. If you have questions about this matter it's always the best way to ask the persons in charge (i.e. embassy) in your country. 

Now I'm going to leave for my Japanese class. I hope nothing will ruin my excellent mood today (^ _ ^)/~~
