Filipinos applying for a Legal Capacity to Marry a Foreigner or a Report of Marriage to a Foreigner are required to watch a short video presentation on the situation of Filipino spouses in Korea.

The Philippines Embassy will release the documents only after the applicants have seen the video, which talks about life in Korea.

The video, which lasts 20 minutes, is part of the embassy’s educational and awareness campaign to help marriage migrants.

The video covers family culture in Korea, including stories about the experiences of other Filipinos and advice to ensure the welfare of Filipino nationals living in a binational matrimonial union.

Two dates are offered, Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 11:30 a.m. or 2 p.m.

More information can be had by visiting www.philembassy-seoul.com or call the embassy at (02) 796-7387.
