My name is Karla _____ and I am requesting a tourist visa to South Korea. I plan to travel to South Korea this July 2019. \u00a0I lived in Seoul for two years as a missionary. To be specific, I was a part of the English Ministry of _____. I taught the church members on how to speak English. This time, I plan to go back to South Korea as a tourist. I want to visit and promote some tourist destinations and Korean drama filming locations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of the tourist visa application is to show an Income Tax Return (ITR), which unfortunately I do not possess. Hence, I am writing this letter. The reason I do not have an ITR is because I am a freelance travel blogger (www.travelwithkarla.com) and an English Proficiency Guide at _______. I travel to different places and write about them. Moreover, I also conduct online lectures on how to pass the IELTS and TOEFL exams. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n I can give you an assurance that my finances right now are enough to cover my 5 days trip in South Korea. I was able to prepare an enough amount for my 5 days trip. Please see my bank certificate for reference. I am very positive that this amount is good enough for my trip. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, I also attached an invitation letter from _____, the Director of Korean Cultural Center & Counsellor for Culture and Public Relations of the Korean Embassy. I was invited to be a part of the Honorary Reporters of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea. I believe that this trip will really help me in raising awareness of Korea in the Philippines. My 100,000 followers across social media accounts are excited to follow my adventures in Korea. I\u2019m going to make a lot of travel guides after this trip.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am really hoping that you would grant my request for a tourist visa. Hoping for your kind consideration.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sincerely, Embassy of Japan in the Philippines Dear\nSir\/Madam,<\/p>\n\n\n\n My name is Raymond _______ and I am requesting a tourist visa to Japan. I plan to travel to Osaka this May 2019. \u00a0I am seriously excited to see the beautiful sights of the city and move my childhood dream into reality. I was exposed to different anime all created in Japan since I was a kid. This exposure to anime is pushing me to visit your wonderful country. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of the tourist visa application is to show an Income Tax Return (ITR), which unfortunately I do not possess. Hence, I am writing this letter. The reason I do not have an ITR is because I am a freelance Physical Therapist and a board review Educator. I conduct lectures in review centers for local and US PT board examinations. I also treat patients with disability at their own houses. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I can give you an assurance that my finances right now are enough to cover my 5 days trip in Osaka. I was able to prepare an enough amount for my 5 days trip. Please see my bank certificate for reference. I am very positive that this amount is good enough for my trip. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have traveled to the United States of America twice already as a tourist visa holder. My first one was last January 2017 in Hawaii and the second one was just last January 2019 in Philadelphia, PA. Please check my passport for reference. It has been my life goal to visit different countries and that includes the wonderful Japan. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am really hoping that you would grant my request for a tourist visa. Hoping for your kind consideration.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sincerely, I and my friend Raymond got our visas approved using the letter above. I hope you can also get yours approved using those guide. If you have any questions, leave a comment below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Freelancers like me dread applying for visa. We often think that we won’t get approved because we can’t provide some requirements like ITR, Company ID, and Certificate of employment. I tried my luck and wrote a letter to the Korean Embassy explaining why I can’t provide the requirements. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[609601405,609601413],"tags":[609601251,609601253],"class_list":["post-16724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-japan","category-korea","tag-sample-letter-for-embassy","tag-visa-application-for-freelancers"],"yoast_head":"\n
