Apply Tourist Visa Canada for Indonesian during pandemic (Biometrics included) English Indonesian version

Image
  Hello guys (I wrote this Journal in December 2021 but forgot to upload), As there is a new regulation for Canada Visa in 2018, according to the VFS staff that I chitchat with, Canada put an additional Biometrics request for Canada Visa applicants. I made a Tourist Canada Visa back then in 2017, at that time, there was no biometrics needed and also I could send passport directly to Embassy. For those who want to apply Canada Visa online and submit your passport through VFS (especially during this pandemic that only couriers are allowed, except taking Biometrics), you might want to check what I've experienced. I couldn't find at all about applying online tourist visa to Canada (through VFS agent for biometrics or drop your passport during this pandemic), hence I decided to share couple information that maybe can help you guys to apply visa online. What you need to prepare: Scanner/Camera, Passport, Digital Photo 35mmx45mm, itinerary/hotel bookings/flight ticket, old passport th...

SEOUL ZOO - SOUTH KOREA Pass Namtaeryeong, the first gateway to Seoul from the south, and you will be greeted by Seoul Grand Park, a landmark recreational site with people and nature in perfect harmony. Seoul Grand Park is internationally renowned for its scenic beauty and natural environment consisting of the Education, Natural Culture, and Amusement areas. During the period of the Great Han Empire, Japan turned time-honored Changgyeonggung, one of the royal palaces in Seoul, into a zoo, in 1909, in an attempt to undermine Korea’s national sovereignty. As part of its effort to restore national pride and preserve its cultural assets, the Korean government created Seoul Grand Park, which opened on May 1, 1984, and transferred the animals in Changgyeonggung to the park for the restoration of the palace. Today, Seoul Grand Park is one of the world’s top 10 zoos in size and scale. Seoul Zoo Map of Seoul Zoo TAMAN SAFARI INDONESIA - INDONESIA Taman ...
