South Korea is one of the top most beautiful country in the world and I assure you It is worth visiting. As some of the travelers or backpackers will tell you that It is somewhat expensive in South Korea, well it depends actually entirely on where you go and what you want to do. I am a nature lover and a budget traveler as well, so I don’t spend that much.
South Korea is an amazing country who welcomes lots of tourist, so It’s not that difficult to get a visa. I love Korean Fashion, Food and Korean novelas, so no wonder I was really excited when my Korean visa was approved. I travelled few countries way back before deciding to apply for a Korean Visa. At first I was issued a Single entry for 3 months then luckily my second application was approved again but this time it’s a 5 years multiple entry.
I suggest you apply 1-2 months before going on a trip.
