South Korea Visa for Indians: Requirements, Fees & Application Process (2026)

Important Changes Effective June 1, 2025

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in India has announced revised visa fees effective from June 1, 2025. These updated fees reflect current exchange rates and administrative adjustments. Here's what you need to know:

Revised Visa Fees (Effective June 1, 2025):

• Single Entry (up to 90 days): ₹3,400 (previously ₹3,200)
• Single Entry (more than 90 days): ₹5,100
• Double Entry Visa: ₹5,950
• Multiple Entry Visa: ₹7,650
• Group Visa: ₹1,275 per personl 

While South Korea has extended the Korean Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) exemption for 22 countries until December 31, 2025 (and further extended to December 31, 2026 for some nationalities), this exemption does not apply to Indian passport holders. Indians must continue to obtain a traditional visa through the embassy or authorized visa application centers.

Countries enjoying K-ETA exemption include the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, most European nations, Japan, Singapore, and several others. Indian travelers should not confuse this exemption with their own requirements.

E-Arrival Card Implementation

Starting February 24, 2025, South Korea has introduced an electronic arrival card system (e-Arrival Card) that all foreign visitors must complete. This digital form can be submitted up to three days before arrival at www.e-arrivalcard.go.kr. While this doesn't replace the visa requirement for Indians, it streamlines the immigration process upon arrival.

Who is exempt from e-Arrival Card:

• Korean citizens
• Registered residents in South Korea
• Holders of valid K-ETA (not applicable to Indians)
• Group visa holders
• Airline crew members

Express Visa Processing Update

Important Notice: The Embassy of South Korea in New Delhi and VFS Centers in Delhi and Kolkata are currently not accepting express visa applications until further notice. Regular processing remains available with standard timelines of 10 working days.

However, express services continue to be available at:

• Chennai Consulate: 5 working days minimum
• Bengaluru Consulate: 8 working days minimum

Note: Yellow passport holders (Identity Certificate holders) cannot apply for express service and face a minimum processing time of 15 working days.

Passport Requirements

Your passport is the foundation of your visa application. Ensure it meets these criteria:

• Validity: Minimum 6 months beyond your planned return date
• Condition: No damage, water marks, or torn pages
• Blank Pages: At least 2 consecutive blank pages for visa stamps
• Previous Passports: Submit old passports if you have travel history to developed countries (USA, UK, Schengen, Australia, Canada, Japan)

Pro Tip: A strong travel history to developed nations significantly strengthens your application and may qualify you for multiple-entry visas.

Demonstrating financial stability is crucial for visa approval. You must prove you can afford your trip without working illegally in South Korea.

Required Financial Documents:

1. Bank Statements: Last 6 months' statements showing regular transactions and healthy balance
2. Income Tax Returns: Last 2 years' ITR (Income Tax Return) documents
3. Salary Slips: Last 3-6 months (for employed applicants)

Red Flags to Avoid:

• Sudden large deposits just before application
• Insufficient balance for your planned trip duration

• Borrowed funds that must be returned

How to Avoid:

• Provide character references if needed

7. Fraudulent or Fake Documents

Why It Happens: Submission of forged bank statements, fake employment letters, or altered documents.

How to Avoid:

• Provide only genuine, verifiable documents
• Ensure all documents are properly stamped and signed by authorized officials
• Be prepared for verification calls to your employer or bank

• Know your itinerary and travel plans thoroughly
• Speak confidently but naturally
• Don't memorize scripted answers
• Bring supporting documents to the interview

9. Inadequate Accommodation Proof

Why It Happens: No hotel bookings or unclear accommodation arrangements.

How to Avoid:

10. Application During Peak Season Without Adequate Time

Why It Happens: Applying too close to travel dates during busy periods.

How to Avoid:

• Apply well in advance (3-4 weeks minimum)
• Avoid last-minute applications
• Consider off-peak travel seasons for faster processing
• Factor in potential delays during Korean holidays

Red Flags That Raise Concerns

• Unemployed with no clear income source
• Recent job changes or unstable employment
• Travelling alone as a young, single applicant with weak ties to India
• Requesting maximum stay duration without clear justification
• Inconsistencies between documents and application form
• Poor quality or suspicious-looking documents
• Lack of travel insurance (though not mandatory, it strengthens application)

Based on insights from visa consultants and successful applicants, here are proven strategies to maximize your approval chances:

Before Application

1. Build Your Profile Gradually

• • If this is your first international trip, consider visiting easier destinations first (Thailand, Dubai, Singapore)
  • Establish a travel history that demonstrates you respect visa rules and return on time

2. Strengthen Your Financial Position

• • Maintain consistent bank balance for at least 6 months before applying
  • Show regular salary credits or business income
  • Avoid borrowing money just for visa application

3. Research Your Itinerary Thoroughly

• • Know the places you plan to visit
  • Understand Korean culture and attractions
  • Be able to explain why you chose specific destinations

4 . Organize Documents Professionally

• • Use a clear folder or file
  • Arrange in the order specified by the visa center
  • Include a cover letter summarizing your application
  • Attach a checklist of enclosed documents

During Application

1. Be Honest and Consistent

• • Provide truthful information throughout
  • Ensure consistency between application form, covering letter, and supporting documents
  • Don't exaggerate or provide false information

2. Write a Compelling Covering Letter

• • Personalize it; avoid generic templates
  • Explain your genuine interest in South Korea
  • Mention specific attractions or experiences you're excited about
  • Clearly state your intent to return to India

3. Provide More Than Required

• • If you have additional supporting documents (property papers, investment statements, family photos), include them
  • Extra evidence of ties to India strengthens your case
  • Travel insurance (though not mandatory) shows preparedness

4. Double-Check Everything

• • Review application form multiple times
  • Verify all dates, names, and numbers
  • Ensure photographs meet specifications
  • Check that all documents are signed and dated where required

After Submission

1. Track Your Application Regularly

• • Check status online every 2-3 days
  • Respond promptly if additional documents are requested
  • Keep your phone accessible in case of verification calls

2. Be Prepared for Interview

• • If called for an interview, dress formally
  • Bring all original documents
  • Answer confidently and honestly
  • Don't volunteer unnecessary information

3. Plan for Contingencies

• • Don't make non-refundable bookings until visa is approved
  • Have backup travel dates in case of delays
  • Consider travel insurance that covers visa rejection

Bonus Tips from Experienced Travelers

• Apply for the right duration: Don't request 90 days if you're only traveling for 10 days; it raises suspicion
• Show cultural interest: Mention specific Korean cultural experiences (temples, palaces, traditional villages) in your itinerary
• Include a return plan: Mention work commitments, family events, or other obligations that require your return to India
• Get a sponsor if needed: If your finances are weak, a sponsor with strong financial standing can help
• Consider group applications: Families or groups traveling together often have higher approval rates
• Avoid visa agents with unrealistic promises: If someone guarantees 100% approval, it's likely a scam
