Planning Notes for 2025

South Korean consulates partner with KVAC and VFS in many countries. Applications are strictly appointment based, and biometrics are required even for repeat travellers. If you need a visa number from a Korean sponsor, allow 7–10 extra days for issuance before submitting your paperwork.
