What are the visa requirements for a filipina in korea?

European countries' visa requirements for a philippine passport-holder residing in south korea?

• i'm planning to travel to europe with my husband this summer. we specifically want to visit germany, the czech republic (prague) and austria. my husband, having a korean passport, doesn't need a visa to entry these countries however i'm a filipina and i still hold a philippine passport. do i have to get a visa for all three countries? does anyone know the visa requirements for these countries for such a case?

• Answer:

  For the Czech Republic, you'll need a Czech visa, since that country is not yet a part of the Schengen zone, which has a unified visa- the Schengen Visa. For Austria, you'll need a Schengen visa issued by the Austrian embassy or diplomatic mission in South Korea (Seoul). If an Austrian embassy/ diplomatic mission doesnt exist in S. Korea, you can obtain a Schengen visa from a German or any other Schengen member state's embassy, which has been authorized to issue a visa on behalf of Austria.
