Approved South Korea Visa with only 30+k show money and without ITR (2018)

This is such an unexpected blessing! I never thought that getting a South Korea tourist visa would be possible for someone like me who is nearly broke. Haha. I still couldn't believe it. Blogs of people whose visa applications got denied made me really worried at some point. It's a good thing that I'm a risk taker when it comes to #internationaltravelgoals and still pushed through with my application. Since I am not an expert and it is also my first time, I will only be sharing my experience and give some tips that I have come up with after completing my visa application at the Embassy of South Korea in Manila. More complete and extensive visa application guide can be found on various blogs on the web.
