|
|
In case you hinglish tete carres missed the news, F-2 class visa holders can now get their multiple entrance visa for FREE instead of paying the usual 50,000 Won.
I'm not sure when this rule came into effect, but it was a pleasant surprise.
Since the overwhelming majority of F-2 Visa are SE Asian brides, I suspect this rule came into affect to assist them, since most of them struggle financially.
So, F-2 visa holders, be sure to thank your local Finipina or Vietnamese... they just saved you 50,000 Won... |

F-2 visa holders aren't married to either nationality of the above. Why would they thank them? |

A!
The vast, vast majority of F-2's are SE Asian brides. They're generally poor.
I suppose the gov't took pity on them and removed the fee for the Multiple Entry visa for F-2s since most of them don't have much cash.
This would never have happened if the majority of F-2 were Canadian, American, Quebecois, South African.. |

Not at all. I got my F2 visa renewed last July, they gave me 2 years multiple entry for 50k won. |
