Hello,

What is the aprox cost of a Visa run from Seoul to Osaka? How long should it take? If more than one day is there a cheap hostal or hotel nearby the Visa office?

If someone can give me full details on this I would truly appreciate it.

Thanks ahead of time.

Bump...

I am headed over to Osaka soon. Has anyone recently had to get this background check?

Also, any info on nearby hotels, costs, and anything else that is relevant would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The information available is outdated. I would appreciated some recent information.

What is the aprox cost of a Visa run from Seoul to Osaka? Is there a cheap clean hotel nearby the office?

Are there any interesting places nearby that can be visited in the afternoon?

If someone can give me full details on this I would truly appreciate it.

Thanks ahead of time.
