Just subbed! This video was super informative and helpful, it's been tricky finding specific info on the H1 visa as someone also from the UK, this is just what I was looking for thanks for sharing 🙌🏻I just got back from my second trip to South Korea, really love it there and now planning to apply for the working holiday visa for next Spring :D

[yt_souje]

[MeganOsten]

Your videos are awesome! No idea how you don’t have more subscribers. Keep up the great work!

[Yepoella]

Hi, thanks a lot for the step-by-step guide. After watching your video I've finished completing my Activity Plan for H-1, just one question, what did you write in the Remarks Section? Please let me know, cause I can't find any info online >.<

[romderful]

oh awesome! i was wondering exactly what i had to do! looking to apply for mine next month so i can leave by january! i love seoul so much and i cant wait to spend a year there! thank you for the informative video! <3

[romderful]

okay some more questions hahah!

Luckily, I've got my medical from my doctor and also got my DBS form so I just gotta get it stamped!

1) Where did you buy your insurance from?
2) How do I fill out the Visa Application
3) What did you put in your activity plannnn??

hopefully if i can get all these sorted in the next 10 days, I should be able to apply for my visa in the next 2 weeks :)

What a helpful video. Thank you so much 😍

[alexander_alba]

This is extremely helpful! Thank you so much!
I have a few questions though, if you don't mind :)

How long before I apply for the visa should I get the criminal background check? Do those sort of things have a expiration date?
Also, as of right now the H1 visa isn't being issued in the UK, right?

[becky]

Hello, I was wondering how I can get a certificate that proves that i'm healthy. I rang my local doctors for a health check but they couldn't give me one, what did you do? If you don't mind me asking

[gracelight]

thank you, very helpful video! the return ticket is confusing me too... how far away should your return flight (itinerary) be? as in 1 year from application after visa duration, or within 3 months of application etc...?

[treeplumtreeplum]

Great vid! Do you have any suggestions for jobs/ ways to make money while in Korea with a holiday visa?

[oliviax]

Hi!! love this video, I just wanted to ask as I live quite a while away from the London Korean embassy, do I have to personally visit them or can I send documents via mail? thank you :)

[dombovangier]

Hi! I am going to apply for a H-1 visa. But i do not have an idea on what do with my activity plan. Do you have any tips?

[thedrunkenirish]

So fucking happy for you man :D some good tips about the visa appliction as i didnt know you needed a solicitor to even do that haha
S. Korea looks amazing man, kinda hard to think ive been there back in 2016 for New Years.
My question is when you fill out the stuff what youre gonna be doing in Korea, should i add that i wanna go to other countries? Wanna go back to Japan for a few weeks and then probably Taiwan and then to Korea or should i just stick with South Korea?

[daisynoir]

Hiya, great video! I was just wondering if you could answer a couple questions.

1) Do you still have to get the TB shot or not anymore?
2) I have travel insurance from March 2022 - March 2023 as I'm coming back from Korea to get a visa in the UK to go back to Korea on the WH visa if that makes sense. Is that okay?
3) How long do you reckon it would take to get the visa in 2022? I'm in the UK for 19 days and I'm worried that's not going to be enough time. I was told minimum 15 days to 6 weeks, but most of the other places were saying 1-2 weeks. What do you think?

Love the videos!

[Dayday-xjhc]

I didn’t know you can get it extended? How is that possible

[strawberrytaaay]

i am very confused wether i can apply online or if i have to fly all the way to vancouver to the korean embassy because we dont have an embassy in Calgary. to hand in the application??? i read somewhere that i can mail it in but that would require sending in my passport too and i feel like that would take a lot more time? im so confuseddd

[젠젠젠아]

Hi, love this video. How long did you prepare for the documents?

[princemario]

Hey bro, thank you very much for the info on this! I have a few questions, a little stupid ones perhaps but you're my saviour for this!

1) Perhaps the most stupid one of all - Additional passport photos. How do I get these, or do I need a new passport just to get the additional photos?

2) With the return flight itinerary - did you show proof of you buying your flight tickets or did you show them a printed screenshot of your supposed flight times?

3) When done all 8 steps you've shown, we just post it to the embassy? Or give it to them in person? I'm just saying this as I'm not far from London so I might feel at ease going there in person - Visa payment also, would that be sent via post/given in person at this stage too correct?

4) Are we even allowed to apply for the H1 visa right now due to covid? I can't find whether we're allowed to or not on the website

Sorry for all the questions mate and I appreciate if you can't answer all of them - great video (+ new sub)

Hi, this is super helpful. Thanks for posting!
I just turned 30 last week and am thinking about applying for this before the year end.
I’m just wondering what kind of jobs you were able to get working on the H-1 visa and how you went about searching for them? I heard there’s only so many hours per week you can work. What kind of accommodation is best and affordable when only working part time and travelling there? I heard it’s normally large deposits for flats. If you’ve got a video about this, just point me in the direction :).
