Est-ce que c'est bien ? Est-ce que je dois indiquer que je reste 5 mois en sachant que j'ai déjà mes billets. Qu'est-ce que je dois faire ?

Bonjour à tous.tes !

J'ai bientôt rdv pour ma demande de visa et comme vous tous, je suis un peu bloquée sur l'Activity plan...

Petit détail, je suis belge et je vois sur le site de l'ambassade coréenne à Bruxelles qu'ils ont un document à remplir. Ma question est donc pour les belges : est-ce que vous avez suivit le document ou créé un autre ? Et à quel point l'avez-vous détaillé ? Car soyons honnête, il n'y a pas beaucoup de place dans les encadrés :'-)

Merci d'avance pour vos réponses et excellente fin de journée à tout le monde !

Hello !
Je suis en train de finaliser ma demande de PVT et je voulais avoir un avis sur mon travel plan (merci d'avance !!!):

My name is Emma, I am 20 years old, and I am French. My interest in South Korea began in 2018 when I discovered K-pop, and since then, my curiosity for the country has continued to grow. I am particularly fascinated by its culture, history, artistic universe, and everyday life.
In August 2024, I had the opportunity to spend three weeks in South Korea, from August 5th to August 25th, with a tourist visa. During this trip, I mainly explored the key neighborhoods and tourist sites of Seoul, such as Itaewon, Myeongdong, Hongdae, Gangnam, Mapo-gu, and Dongdaemun. This journey was an unforgettable experience and inspired me to extend my stay to explore other regions and activities I could not discover during that visit.
Planned Stay

I plan to settle in the Kondae area (Konkuk University area), which will serve as my base to fully experience daily life in Korea. During my stay, I intend to work part-time (up to 25 hours per week), depending on my financial needs, in sectors such as restaurants, cafés, or barmaid. These professional experiences will help cover my expenses while allowing enough free time to travel and explore the country.
I have already started analyzing job offers and contacting employers through platforms such as Koreabridge, Indeed Korea, and Craigslist, and I continue to research positions in Seoul and its surrounding areas.
