Make your K-drama dream come true: Wandering in a visa-free Korea

After watching period Korean dramas, you start daydreaming that you are part of the magical surroundings wearing the hanbok — a traditional Korean garment depicting the century-old culture and history of Korea.

Amazingly, you can now open your eyes and make your fantasy come true by wandering in the southern part of Korea — because it is visa-free!

The Korean government has allowed Philippine passport holders to visit Jeollanam-do Province via the Muan International Airport. This is the most recent Korean destination to open to tourists visa-free after Jeju Island and Gangwon Province.

Mouthwatering local dishes, beaches, temples and festivals await those who will travel to the province. Filipinos who enter via Muan are allowed to explore Jeollanam-do for up to 15 days. Although you will not need to submit requirements for the visa, you must, of course, secure a passport with six months validity and round-trip tickets.

Start your travel by experiencing what it’s like to wear a hanbok in Hanok Village located in Jeonju City, Jeollanam-do. The village is one of the most loved tourist destinations in Korea, next to Seoul and Busan, as it maintains its traditional look and cultural values despite being industrialized. Arriving at the city, rentals for exquisitely made hanbok clothing and accessories are all over the Hanok village. It comes with a traditional hairdressing service. In addition, you can also rent retro-style outfits in the area. After your magical outfit transformation, you can roam around the village’s historical sites including Gyeonggijeon Shrine. The village offers tranquility in a most unique way.
