Travel Tax Exemption

Requested from BIR by F. Castro at 01:43 PM on Dec 19, 2023.
Purpose: Travel to Korea / Visa application requirements.
Date of Coverage: 12/01/2023 - 12/19/2023
Tracking no: #BIR-951694876455

Castro 01:43 PM, Dec 19, 2023 

Hi! I would like to ask how can I get an income tax return (ITR). I am an OFW currently working here in South Korea as a singer and I am planning to bring or invite my daughter and my parents here for them to experience snow. I know that as an OFW we are exempted in paying taxes in the Philippines but a copy of an ITR is one of the requirements for applying a visa in Asian country like South Korea. 
Is there any other documents like an exemption letter that I can request as a replacement for an ITR? 
What are the requirements needed to get this?
