Travel Freely on Your Own Schedule!
The C-3-1 Individual Tourist Visa
Welcome!
Were you rejected for K-ETA, but you don't want a group package tour? For those who dream of traveling independently, [Your Agency Name] offers expert consulting for the C-3-1 Individual Tourist Visa.
The C-3-1 is completely different from K-ETA or the C-3-9 Group Tour. This is an 'Individual Tourist Visa' that requires you to pass the Korean Embassy's formal screening based on your own personal qualifications.
This is the most difficult visa for an individual to obtain, but it is possible with our expert 1-on-1 coaching.
1. What is the C-3-1 Individual Tourist Visa?
The C-3-1 is a 'Short-Term General Visa' issued to foreigners visiting Korea for personal reasons such as tourism, leisure, or visiting friends/relatives (for less than 90 days).
-
The Key : You apply as an 'individual,' not as part of a 'group.'
-
The Benefit : If approved, you can travel freely on your own schedule. (Up to 90 days).
-
The Challenge : Unlike K-ETA, you must pass a rigorous document review by the Embassy. Proving your financial stability and your intent to return to Thailand is critical.
2. Who Needs a C-3-1 Visa?
This visa is the only solution for individuals in the following situations :
-
🥇 Those rejected for K-ETA who still want to travel freely. You were denied K-ETA, and you do not want the fixed schedule of a C-3-9 group tour.
-
✈️ Those visiting friends, acquaintances, or partners (non-cohabitating) in Korea. You may have an invitation, but your relationship is not 'family,' making other visas difficult to obtain.
-
👨👩👧👦 Families planning a 'flexible' private trip. You want to travel on your family's own schedule, not a package tour. (Each family member must apply individually).
-
📄 Those with a specific purpose, like attending a short-term conference. You need to attend an event in a personal capacity, combined with tourism.
3. Why is Expert Consulting from BP TRAVEL Essential?
The C-3-1 is one of the most-rejected visas for Thai nationals applying individually. It's not just about submitting forms; you must "PROVE" to the Embassy why you are visiting Korea and why you will absolutely return to Thailand.
We don't just "process" your application. We provide a "1-on-1 personalized strategy" to get you approved.
-
✅ Detailed Analysis of Your K-ETA Rejection We first analyze why you were rejected for K-ETA. Was your job unclear? Was your purpose of visit weak? We build a strategy to fix these issues for your C-3-1 application.
-
✅ 1-on-1 Personalized Document Coaching (Most Important!) Everyone's situation (job, income, assets) is different. We coach you on creating the strongest possible document combination for your specific situation.
-
Employee: Certificate of Employment, Payroll Account, etc.
-
Business Owner / Freelancer: Business Registration, Tax/Income Proof, Transaction History (The most difficult case!).
-
-
✅ Expert Financial Proof Consulting "How much money do I need?" There is no magic number. Unlike other visas, the C-3-1 values a 'steady, stable flow of income' more than a large sum of money deposited suddenly. We review your bank statements with you and guide you on how to best present this.
-
✅ Support in Creating a Logical Travel Itinerary We help you create a detailed and logical travel plan that is convincing to the Embassy. Your plan must clearly show "where you will stay, what you will do, and when you will return."
4. Our C-3-1 Consulting Process
We begin with a 'pre-qualification screening' to see if you are a viable candidate.
1. 1-on-1 Eligibility Check (Mandatory!)
- You consult with us (via LINE or in-person) and honestly share your K-ETA rejection history, current job, income, and travel purpose.
- Our expert makes an initial diagnosis of your approval chances. (If your chances are too low, we will recommend a safer alternative, like the C-3-9 group tour.)
2. Personalized Document Coaching
We provide a 'customized checklist' for your situation and provide 1-on-1 coaching to prepare every document perfectly (financial, employment, travel plan).
3. Final Review & Application Forms
Once all documents are ready, our experts conduct a final review and fill out the official visa application forms without errors.
4. Embassy Submission Service
We formally submit your complete application package to the Korean Embassy (Consulate) on your behalf.
5. Core Required Documents (The Basics)
While specific documents vary, the 'credibility' of the following is most important:
-
1. Proof of Financial Ability:
-
Bank Certificate (showing current balance).
-
Bank Statement (last 6 months): The 'consistent flow' of transactions is often more important than the final balance.
-
-
2. Proof of Ties to Thailand (Intent to Return):
-
Employee: Certificate of Employment, Letter of Approved Leave.
-
Business Owner: Business Registration, Tax Payments.
-
Student: Certificate of Enrollment.
-
-
3. Proof of Travel Purpose:
-
Round-trip flight reservation.
-
Hotel booking confirmations.
-
A detailed, day-by-day Itinerary.
-
(If visiting someone) Invitation letter, copy of their ID, photos proving your relationship, etc.
-
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How long does the C-3-1 visa process take?
A: It is reviewed more carefully than other visas, so it can take longer. After submission, expect an average of 2-4 weeks or more. You must start your consultation at least 2 months before your planned trip.
Q: I was rejected for K-ETA. What if I'm rejected for C-3-1 too?
A: They are judged on different criteria. Even with a K-ETA rejection, if you can clearly prove your financial stability and intent to return with strong documents, you still have a good chance. Our job is to help you build that proof.
Q: How much money do I need in my account?
A: There is no fixed amount. 10 million KRW deposited yesterday is less credible than an account with 3 million KRW that shows a steady monthly salary and stable spending. We will consult with you on this.
Q: I'm a freelancer with no fixed documents. Is it possible?
A: This is the most challenging case, but not impossible. Instead of a salary slip, we must prepare other documents to prove your 'consistent income' (transaction histories, invoices, tax receipts, a portfolio, etc.)
