TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the challenges faced by Thai nationals when applying for a tourist visa for South Korea. Notably, some users mention that there are strict requirements for Thai applicants, and that many are rejected for the K-ETA, leading them to apply directly through the South Korean Embassy. There seems to be no option for simply paying to obtain a visa through an agent.

There's no such a thing for Korea, like you can pay and get a visa. The only way is to apply trhu the Embassy, and they're very very strict with Thai nationals, unfortunately 😢

Sorry, going a bit out of the context. Was curious to know Why?

Why with Thai people? Because they're one of the biggest illegal worker / overstayers in Korea. Still it's a shame as Koreans can enter visa free here.

Thai nationals can enter Korea visa free, the issue is the ETA approval.. Thsiland will eventually implement their ETA system and Korean citizens will have do an ETA prior to travelling

Yes, and the issue is that also with the K-ETA approved, many Thai are rejected entry at the airport in Korea.
