How I Got a South Korean Working Holiday Visa at 30 in One Day (Fukuoka Consulate) - Part 2: Planning the Schedule (2) -

Hello. This is Mizuo.

Without further ado, I would like to continue from last time and write about how to plan your schedule leading up to your South Korean Working Holiday visa application.

The table below is the schedule I actually created.
*The dates are different, but the intervals between days are almost the same.

I am quite a worrier, so if I had any questions about the documents, I contacted the application agency in advance!
Since I was preparing for the visa application while working, I had to prepare within a limited amount of time, and I wanted to avoid re-submitting or re-visiting as much as possible.
I did thorough research beforehand for that purpose!

If I were to give advice for when you get confused while actually making your schedule...
it is to book the appointments for documents that require them first!!

For things that require an appointment (mainly health checkups, criminal record certificates, etc.), there is a possibility that you will have to push back your application date depending on when you can get an appointment.
If you have already decided on an application date, I think it will go more smoothly if you secure the appointments for the required items first.

If you are in a pattern where you decide the application date while making the schedule, I think it will be influenced by other circumstances, such as whether you will attend a language school or when you can quit your job. It might go smoothly if you make the schedule leading up to the application after confirming all other schedules!

As I have written so far, once you have finished making your schedule, all you have to do is prepare the documents so that you do not fall behind that schedule as much as possible.
Especially for official documents, once you finish the application, you just have to go pick them up, so they should naturally accumulate on their own.
Let's proceed on your days off or when you have some free time!

Finally, a schedule is just a means to proceed smoothly.
There may be times when things do not go as planned due to your physical condition or family matters.
I also recommend setting aside buffer days for such times!
By having some time and mental leeway, such as thinking, 'Even if I can't do it according to the schedule, it will be fine if I finish it on the buffer day,' I think you can reduce mistakes!
(By the way, I set a planned date and a buffer date for my visa application. Thanks to that, I think I was able to adjust the schedule and finish preparing the documents flexibly.)

In this article, I have summarized how to plan your schedule leading up to the application.
I hope this will be helpful for those who are thinking of applying from now on 😌

Next time, I would like to write in detail about the application documents.

Thank you for reading this far!
I look forward to seeing you in the next article 😊
