Good news for Filipinos planning to visit South Korea! The Korean Visa Application Center (KVAC) in Taguig is making it easier to apply for a visa by introducing more online reservation slots, starting on August 19, 2024. This change aims to streamline the visa application process and help reduce the long waiting times that many applicants currently face.
The additional slots will be available at two different times during the day, from 9AM to 11AM. and from 2PM to 3PM. Each hour will have six reservation slots, allowing more applicants to secure a spot without the hassle of long queues. These slots can be booked up to two months in advance.
The KVAC will still accommodate walk-in applicants on weekdays, but the introduction of these new online slots is expected to significantly ease the burden for those looking to secure a visa. By offering more options for scheduling, the center hopes to make the process smoother and more convenient for everyone.

In addition to these improvements, South Korea has also embraced the growing trend of “workcations,” where remote workers blend work and leisure. Starting in early 2024, the country is inviting remote workers to stay for an extended period of up to two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. This invitation allows you to bring your family along, making it an ideal opportunity for those who want to experience life in South Korea while continuing their professional work remotely.
For those planning a trip to South Korea, it’s advisable to take advantage of the KVAC online reservation system as early as possible to avoid any delays.
With the increase in KVAC reservation slots and the exciting opportunity for remote workers, getting a visa is now more accessible, bringing you one step closer to your dream trip or extended stay in South Korea.
