One more thing: They won't take a check. Cash and money order are the only things you can send 'em. -- nathaniel

How about this for a twist: if you ask for an invitation (required for a
visa), you are told you really, really don't need it. When I requested a
visa from TTA, this is the response I got. Has anyone succeeded in getting
a letter?

When I downloaded the visa application form (and checked the Korean Embassy
web page), it did not indicate that an invitation letter was required from
anyone in Korea. What it did indicate was required (and you can check
the web page yourself at http://www.koreaembassy.org/visiting/eng_visas.cfm),
is the following (assuming you're a US citizen and you get a "business" visa):


- Visa application form
- One passport-sized photo
- US Passport
- Original copy of company letter on company letterhead _signed by your
  employer_ (emphasis mine), stating the purpose, name and duration
- $ 45.00 USD application fee.
- And a prepaid postage return envelope (if applying by mail)

While the question of whether or not a visa is required has not in my mind
been completely answered, it appears definite to me that you don't need
an invitation letter from TTA to get one.
