So far this has been the cost of my new E2 app. Bear in mind degree certificate replacements were due to two different korean employers losing my BA and MA each so I've included the cost of those cert replacements.
I've had to pay so far...
�30 BA cert + postage + �30 apostille plus postage �15 for a return.
�30 MA cert + postage (uni jobs needed this MA apostilled) + �30 apostille
Solicitor stamps �12
�55 postage to Korea of docs by Royal Mail registered international guaranteed.
Crim Check �25 + �30 apostille plus postage (can't remember how much)
�80 + �17.50 postage to Korean embassy for the visa today (had to get it there before 9am cus of the slow turnaround.)
So all in all this bloody thing has cost me at least: 30 + 30 + 15 + 30 +30 + 12 + 55 + 25 + 30 + 80 + 17.50 plus extra postage I haven't included.
Plus I have to get a return coach to london to pick up my passport as there's no time...that will cost about �40 - �50 for the day if I'm unlucky with national express times and have to get the train, or get unlucky with national express cost. (embassy closes at midday)
�354.50 + some other postage and admin costs. = 628,773 Won + my fifty quid travell london if you like. So worst case it's over �400.
Basically...OUCH.
I'm sure I've missed out some other expenses.... |
