Hello!!!
Regarding:
Bank Certificate (is there a specific minimum balance in your bank account? Or what if you don;t have a bank account & your trip to korea is a gift, Can we submit the Person Bank Certificate instead of ours)
ITR & Certificate of Employment (is it hard to get this documents if your Self-Employed)
Many Thanks!
