Hello, c'est bien, mais je pense que pour la partie travail, il faudrait préciser que tu ne prévois de travailler qu'à mi-temps, histoire de leur montrer que tu as bien compris que tu ne pouvais travailler que 25 heures par semaine maximum.
Aussi, je pense que tu pourrais peut-être ajouter quelques activités en plus de simplement lister les lieux de visites. Des lieux précis à visiter (pas seulement les villes) et/ou des activités culturelles par exemple.

Hello,

D'accord merci je vais changer ça !
Donc idéalement il faudrait que je mette au moins un lieu précis à visiter dans chaque ville de mon travel plan ? Parce que pour les activités à part de la randonnée sinon je ne prévois rien de particulier, je ne compte ni prendre des cours de coréen, ni faire du sport... mon but est vraiment de visiter le plus possible.

Oui, tu peux mettre des noms de temples, de musées, de lieux naturels. La randonnée c'est bien comme activité, tu peux mentionner les différents parcs nationaux par exemple.

Work and Travel Activity Plan for the Working Holiday (H1)

12 months stay in Seoul

My name is Vanessa, I’m French and I am 23 years old. My interest in South Korea began in 2017 when I first discovered K-pop. Since then my love for Korea and for its traditional and food culture kept growing until I went there in April 2025. I stayed for 2 weeks and visited Seoul, Busan and Jeju. My stay there was short and I was sad to not see and explore more so I decided to pursue this project that had been on my mind for several years which is : experiencing daily life in South Korea for a longer period than just on a 2 weeks vacation.
I started learning Korean to be able to enjoy my long-term stay.

- Travel plan during the 12 months of stay in Seoul

I will come to Korea on the 21st of November 2026.
During my stay I plan on visiting Seoul and its district with places of interest such as : Gangnam, Mapo-gu, Insadong, Myeongdong, Itaewon, Yeonnam, Seoul Forest, Starfield COEX Mall, Namsan Tower, Han River, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, Dongdaemun etc…

And I also plan on visiting other cities and places such as : Incheon, Suwon, Paju, Nami Island, Sokcho, Busan, Ulsan, Pohang, Gwangju, Jeonju, Daegu, Gyeongju, Suncheon, Damyang, Jeju Island etc…

- Work plan during the 12 months stay in Seoul

I’m interested in working in Seoul in a part time job around 15h or 20h a week for 6 months in 2027 in a café, hotel, restaurant or a convenience store to finance my long-term stay and all of my visit and to experience the professional work culture in South Korea.
I’m already looking for job offers for this type of work and doing research using websites such as Koreabridge, Indeed and Craiglist for both work and housing.

During my stay I’ll also take korean classes to immerse myself in a native korean life, dancing classes, cooking classes and more to fulfill my hobbies.

WORKING HOLIDAY ACTIVITY PLAN – SOUTH KOREA
Stay: 24 January 2027 – 23 January 2028
1. Personal Background and Objectives
My name is Binta, I am 23 years old and I have recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Marketing. Since discovering
K-dramas and K-pop in 2018, I have dreamed of visiting South Korea and experiencing the country beyond what I have
seen on screen. I have always been fascinated by its rich culture, history, language and cuisine, and I am excited to
experience them firsthand. I chose to complete my studies before leaving so I could fully enjoy this long-awaited
adventure. Since February, I have been meeting a Korean pen pal every week in Paris, where she is currently staying on
a Working Holiday Visa. Over time, we have become friends, and our language exchanges have also allowed me to
discover more about Korean traditions and food. She helps me practise Korean, while I help her improve her French.
This friendship has further strengthened my desire to experience everyday life in South Korea. During my stay, I look
forward to meeting local people, improving my Korean, visiting iconic locations featured in Korean dramas and
discovering the country throughout its different seasons.
2. Travel and Cultural Activities
• January–February 2027 – Seoul (Euljiro): Settle in, complete administrative formalities and explore Euljiro’s historic
printing workshops and industrial streets, whose atmosphere reminds me of Montreuil. Visit Cheonggyecheon Stream,
Sewoon Sangga, Gyeongbokgung Palace and the National Museum of Korea.
• March – Seoul and surroundings: Discover Changdeokgung Palace and its Secret Garden, Hongdae, Seongsu and
traditional markets. Take day trips to Suwon’s Hwaseong Fortress and Incheon’s Chinatown.
• April – Gyeongju and Jeonju: Explore Bulguksa Temple, the royal tombs and Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond in
Gyeongju, then discover Jeonju Hanok Village and its traditional cuisine.
• May – Busan (1 month): Visit Gamcheon Culture Village, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Jagalchi Fish Market and
Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches. Explore coastal walking trails and local food markets.
• June – Jeju Island (2–3 weeks): Discover Seongsan Ilchulbong, Jeongbang Waterfall, O’Sulloc Tea Museum and Udo
Island. Hike Hallasan Mountain if weather and trail conditions permit. As I have already applied for and received my
International Driving Permit, Jeju will be an ideal place to use it to explore the island more freely and reach its natural
attractions.
• July – Seoul: Take part in Korean cooking classes, visit museums and traditional markets, explore local neighbourhoods
and discover K-pop-related pop-up stores. I also hope to attend concerts and music events, depending on the schedule
during my stay.
• August – Sokcho and Seoraksan: Discover Sokcho’s traditional market, beaches and Seoraksan National Park, including
suitable hiking trails.
• September – Gangneung: Explore Gyeongpo Beach and Lake, Ojukheon House and the local coffee culture along the
east coast.
• October – Seoul: Enjoy autumn foliage and hiking in Bukhansan National Park, revisit historic palaces and discover
seasonal cultural events.
• November – Andong: Visit Hahoe Folk Village, traditional houses and cultural heritage sites to learn more about Korean
customs and Confucian traditions.
• December – Seoul: Experience winter illuminations, seasonal markets, Korean food and a traditional jjimjilbang.
• January 2028 – Seoul and nearby areas: Continue exploring cultural sites, local neighbourhoods and places not yet
visited, before completing my planned one-year stay.
3. Budget and Possible Part-Time Work
My current employment contract in France ends in January 2027, and I expect to have approximately €7,000 in personal
savings before departure. My priority will be tourism and cultural immersion. If necessary, I may seek part-time work
from July 2027 onwards to supplement my budget. I would consider positions in a café, restaurant, hotel, shop or
convenience store, allowing me to practise Korean and experience the local working environment. I will use KoreaBridge,
Indeed and Craigslist to look for suitable opportunities and comply with all applicable Working Holiday Visa conditions, including the maximum permitted working hours of 25 hours per week.

Salut Binta,

Quand as-tu prévu de déposer ton dossier ? Parce que tu mentionnes qu'en janvier tu auras 7 000€ de côté. Si tu n'as pas encore cet argent là, je te conseille d'éviter de faire ton plan selon cette somme là. Il faut que ton plan soit en accord avec l'attestation de fond que tu fournira. Donc si pour le moment tu n'as pas encore les 7 000€ mais que tu as 3 500 + ton billet d'avion aller, pars plutôt là dessus.

Bonsoir, merci pour cette réponse ! Je prevois de le déposer ce mercredi avec 4 000€ en preuve de relevé de fond bancaire. Le planning est fait avec ce montant et l’eventualité de travailler sur place.

Ah super ! Sinon pour revenir au contenu de ton plan, perso ça me semble OK. À partir du moment où ce que tu dis dans la partie 1 et 3 et en accord avec ta partie 2, ça devrait le faire. Du coup peut être juste changer l'ordre pour faire 1 (background) - 3 (budget) - 2 (activity plan).

Tu n'as pas besoin de remettre ton prénom, nom, date de naissance dessus. En tout cas, je l'avais pas fait et ça n'a pas posé de problème.

Si ça peut te rassurer (parce que perso c'est quelque chose qui me faisait un peu flippé), ma demande de visa a été accepté avec 3500€ + le billet d'avion aller.

Merci énormément pour ton retour ! C’est super sympa et bienveillant de prendre ce temps là pour aider les personnes. J’ai passer pas mal de temps à lire les différents échanges et ça m’a vraiment aider pour l’organisation des documents et la rédaction de l’activity plan. Merci et bonne journée ��
