If my thai friend has a passport does she need any other documents to come and visit me in korea? She will be staying for about 2 weeks.

Check the Korean embassy website, it should have what your looking for. But she will most likely need a visa as she is not from a Western country.

Does anyone know where my friend can get a visa? And do i need to do anything here in korea. I heard about this "invitation letter" that she must have when leaving her country. Does anyone has or knows a thai person who came to korea? And what did they need to come here?

All I know is its pretty hard..
she will need to go to the Korean embassy in thailand,,
and the invitation letter might help. but a single girl coming to korea..
is like a single korean girl trying to go to the USA.. acually its harder!

anyway first call the thai embassy here.. have her call the korean embassy there..
Its not impossible.. just little difficult.. but im sure you will get her here..

She's not moving here. She's just on holiday. I've met plenty of people here from SE Asia on tourist visas.

Itaewon guy is way off on this. My Thai girlfriend has come here 3 times. She has never arrived with a visa, just a valid passport. Each time she has received a 3 month tourist visa. Make sure she has a return ticket as that is the most important part. I always included a letter from my school stating she was visiting me and I was their employee and would vouch for that and a contact #. I don't believe they ever looked at that though, just the return ticket.

I think Itaewonguy missed the part of the OP that said she was coming for a holiday based on his responses.

I've know a few guys and one girl who have seen their Thai friends turned down for entery to Korea. Just don't be too surprised if it happens, it's not totally unlikely, but good luck.
