Filipino with Canadian PR: Do I Need Visa for South Korea?
Hi everyone! I’m a Filipino citizen with Canadian PR, traveling back to the Philippines for a vacation. My itinerary is:
🇨🇦 Canada → 🇯🇵 Japan (5 days) → 🇵🇭 Philippines (20 days) → 🇹🇼 Taiwan (1-hour layover) → 🇰🇷 South Korea (4 days) → 🇨🇦 Canada
For those who have had a similar experience, I’d appreciate your advice! Do I need to apply for visa for South Korea?
Edit: Saw this note in their website while checking the requirements, wanted to check if anyone had the same experience.
***“Visa Free Entry for Three Country Transit Passengers***
The Korean Government resumption of the Tourist in Transit(B2) from Apr. 30th. 2023.
For Non-Canadian citizens (e.g. China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Philippines, India, etc), Tourists in transit to another country via Korea, can visit Korea without a visa for up to 30 days.
Eligibility
A person who holds a valid visa (permanent residency, study permit, work permit etc.) of Canada
A person who holds a flight ticket reserved for departure flights within a 30-day period and has no illegal facts, such as an unlawful stay in the relevant country”
Thank you so much! 😊
