1. Passports and Visa

Visa Guidelines

Foreign nationals entering Korea are generally required to have a valid passport and a Korean visa assigned by overseas branch of Korean embassy or consular offices. For Indian citizens travelling to Korea, a single-entry visa valid for 90 days is usually issued. For people with past travel to Korea, multiple-entry Visa can also be issued.

  • North & East zone applicants must apply through VFS office at http://www.vfsglobal.com/korea/india/
  • South & West zone applicants can apply directly at their respective Korean consulate offices.
    • South India (Chennai): http://overseas.mofa.go.kr/in-chennai-en/index.do
    • West India (Mumbai): http://overseas.mofa.go.kr/in-mumbai-en/index.do

2. Entry Formality

Alien Registration
A Korean embassy or consulate can issue two types of visa: a short-term visa for the visitor who wants to stay up to 90 days or a special long-term visa for periods longer than 90 days. A visitor with a special long-term visa is required to apply for alien registration at a local immigration office within 90 days of arrival.
