Hi everyone 🙂 I’m slowly preparing to bring my spouse here while I keep working on my visa, and I wanted to share one small thing I didn’t expect: the paperwork budget feels like a little basket that keeps getting heavier. Translations, notarizing, mailing papers, photos, and maybe extra copies… each one is not huge, but together it adds up like coins in a metal bowl clinking louder and louder 😅 I’m not upset, just trying to plan calmly before booking anything, so if you already invited family while working in Korea, how did you organize the costs and documents?

大家好🙂 我正在慢慢准备把我的配偶接来这里，同时继续处理我的签证事宜，我想分享一件我之前没想到的小事：文书材料的预算感觉像一个越来越沉的小篮子。翻译、公证、邮寄文件、照片，可能还要额外复印几份……每一项都不算太贵，但加在一起，就像金属碗里的硬币，叮叮当当地越来越响😅 我并不是在抱怨，只是想在预订任何东西之前冷静地做好规划，所以如果你是在韩国工作期间邀请过家人的话，你们是怎么整理这些费用和文件的？
