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?

Hai semuanya 🙂 Saya perlahan sedang mempersiapkan untuk membawa pasangan saya ke sini sambil terus mengurus visa saya, dan saya ingin berbagi satu hal kecil yang tidak saya duga: anggaran untuk urusan dokumen terasa seperti keranjang kecil yang terus bertambah berat. Terjemahan, legalisasi notaris, mengirim dokumen, foto, dan mungkin salinan tambahan… masing-masing tidak terlalu besar, tetapi kalau digabungkan rasanya seperti koin di mangkuk logam yang berdenting makin lama makin keras 😅 Saya tidak kesal, hanya berusaha merencanakan dengan tenang sebelum memesan apa pun, jadi kalau Anda pernah mengundang keluarga saat bekerja di Korea, bagaimana Anda mengatur biaya dan dokumennya?
