Tourist Visa In Korea: A Simple Guide

Picture this: vibrant Seoul nights, tranquil temple visits, and spicy kimchi feasts.

Ready to pack your bags for an unforgettable Korean escapade?

Before you board, let’s unravel the tapestry of securing a tourist visa for Korea.

How Is Tourism Impacting The Korean Economy?

Sights and attractions in Korea collectively are the reason why over 17.5 million visitors arrived in South Korea in 2019. This figure is 14% higher compared to the previous year’s number, making it one of the top visited countries in Asia. 

Travel and Tourism added significantly to the country’s economy, contributing 4.16% to the overall GDP of the country in 2019. 

However, most international travelers embarking on their Korean adventures will have to obtain a tourist visa . 

In this extensive guide, we will walk you through the intricate details of securing a tourist visa for South Korea. From the eligibility criteria to the visa application process, while also providing you with valuable tips to ensure a successful application. 

While we are on the topic, it is important to mention that it is easier for citizens of the developed nations to obtain a hassle-free visa, which is mostly on arrival.

Nations like the EU Member States, Australia, New Zealand, The United Kingdom have a visa waiver agreement with the Republic of Korea.

Other nations which do not have a visa waiver agreement with Korea include countries like The United Arab Emirates, Canada, Russia, Bahrain and others.

However, this in no way implies that it is difficult for the citizens of these countries or other countries to obtain a Korean visa. 

One thing to be noted here is that the famous Schengen visa is not required to enter Korea. The visa required to set foot in Korea is issued and processed by the Government of Korea. Schengen is only required to enter most of the European states. 

What Is the Korean Tourist Visa?

Like any country that offers different types of visas for different people, depending on their purpose of visit, Korea also follows the same route.

Visas granted for educational purposes have different requirements, terms and conditions comparatively to a businessman heading to Korea for trade and investment.

Similarly, a visa granted for the purpose of sightseeing is different. A Korean tourist visa, often referred to as a C-3 visa, is the key that unlocks the doors to South Korea for travelers from around the world. 

This visa allows its holder to explore the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant city life, rich cultural heritage, yummy street food, access to the world’s best skincare that South Korea offers, for a specified duration, usually up to 90 days.

Whether your purpose is sightseeing, visiting your friends or family, or experiencing the diverse culture that Korea offers, a tourist visa is your magic wand to a memorable journey through this captivating country. 

What Is The Eligibility Criteria For Korean Tourist Visa?

Before embarking on the visa application journey, it is vital to determine whether you meet the eligibility criteria for a Korean tourist visa.

This involves providing your recent bank statements, financial sponsorship letters, or other evidence of sufficient funds.

This can be exhibited through ties to your family, employment proof, property ownership, or educational commitments.

Clean Criminal Record

For visiting any country in the world, no matter developed or developing, even the ones plagued with crimes, one must submit proof of the fact that they are civilized, law abiding citizens of their own countries.

Flight Itinerary And Accommodation

Present a confirmed flight itinerary to and from South Korea, as well as all the relevant details of your accommodation for the duration of your stay.

Purpose Of Visit

This 90-day period is often referred to as the “duration of stay.” It begins from the date of your entry into South Korea and is indicated on your visa sticker.

It is important to abide by the allowed duration of stay specified on your visa. Overstaying your visa can result in legal consequences, including fines, deportation, and potential difficulties obtaining future visas. 

If you plan to stay in South Korea for longer than 90 days or for purposes other than tourism, you will need to explore other visa options, such as a work visa, student visa, or long-term residency visa, depending on your specific circumstances and intentions for staying in the country. 

However, the requirements and documents needed for those visas would differ from that of a tourist visa. 

What Is The Visa Fees For A Tourist/Visitor Visa?

The visa fee for a Korean tourist visa can vary depending on the nationality of an individual and the type of visa they are applying for. 

As of September 2021 , the standard visa fee for most nationalities was around 60,000 Korean Won (KRW). However, this fees is tentative and can change from time to time. 

There may be variations based on your nationality, visa category, and the specific embassy or consulate where you apply.

The processing time for the C-3 tourist visa can vary depending on several factors, including your nationality, the specific embassy or consulate where you apply, and the time of year.

However, here are some general guidelines:

Normal Processing Time

In many cases, the normal processing time for a Korean tourist visa is approximately 5 to 10 business days.

This means that if you submit a complete and accurate visa application, you can expect to receive a decision within the time frame mentioned above.

Peak Seasons

During peak travel seasons, such as the summer months and major holidays like Christmas, Easter and others, visa processing times may be slightly longer due to a higher influx of applications. 

It is advisable to apply in advance during these periods to ensure that your visa is processed in time for your intended travel dates.

Visa Interview

If the embassy or consulate requires a visa interview as part of the application process, this may add extra time to the processing. 

Visa interviews are typically scheduled in advance and can take place before a decision is made.

Complex Cases

If your visa application is considered more complex due to specific circumstances or additional document requirements, it may take longer to process.

For example, if you have a history of visa denials or if you’re applying for a long-term visa, it may require additional attention and thought and will take more time.

COVID-19 Requirements :

• There are no COVID-related entry requirements for U.S. citizens.
• Travel regulations and restrictions are subject to change, sometimes with little notice. You should review the information available on your nearest Korean Embassy or Consulate’s webpage before traveling.

Safety and Security

Public Demonstrations:  Demonstrations and rallies are common in South Korea, particularly near the U.S. Embassy, Seoul City Hall, and areas surrounding military installations. You should avoid areas where demonstrations are taking place and exercise caution in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or rallies. Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence.

North Korea (The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK):  An armistice agreement, monitored by the United Nations, has maintained general peace on the Korean peninsula since 1953. Tensions occasionally flare up because of provocative acts by North Korea, including ballistic missile and nuclear tests and limited armed incursions into ROK-held territory. Some provocations have escalated into geographically limited skirmishes. South Korea routinely conducts military training exercises and civil defense drills. North Korea often issues strongly-worded and threatening messages, frequently in connection with these exercises. Please see our  Fact Sheet on North Korea .

Weather-related Events:  Heavy rains and flooding may occur during the June - August monsoon season or the May - November typhoon season. See general information about natural disaster preparedness at the U.S.  Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)  website.

Enroll in the  Smart Traveler Enrollment Program  ( STEP ):  To receive security messages by email and make it easier to locate you in an emergency, register in STEP. 

If the Embassy becomes aware of any specific and credible threat to the safety and security of U.S. citizens, we will inform you through our website, social media, and email.

Crime:  For most visitors, South Korea remains a very safe country. Common crimes occur more frequently in major metropolitan areas, tourist sites, and crowded markets.

• Take routine safety precautions.
• Pay attention to your surroundings.
• Report any concerns to local police.

Violent crime is not common; however, remain vigilant:

• Exercise caution in crowded entertainment, nightlife, and shopping districts.
• If traveling at night, consider traveling in groups.
• Use legitimate taxis or public transportation only.

Victims of Crime:  Call 112 for emergency assistance or to report a crime to local authorities. Call 02-397-4114 to contact the U.S. Embassy. We can:

• Help you find appropriate medical care;
• Assist you in reporting a crime to police;
• Contact relatives or friends on your behalf;
• Explain Korean judicial procedures in general terms;
• Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution;
• Help you find accommodations and flight arrangements to the United States;
• Replace a lost or stolen passport.

Sexual Assault:   The Embassy regularly receives reports of sexual assault from U.S. citizens. Most cases involved young women assaulted by acquaintances they met on social media, dating, or messaging apps. Alcohol is often involved, and Korea’s low overall crime can create a false sense of security.  Specialized hospital units and police are available in South Korea to assist victims, however services in English and responsiveness to the crime are not always consistent. In general, sex crimes are not punished as harshly in South Korea as in the United States and the road to prosecution is a challenging one for victims.

Domestic Violence:  Victim’s assistance resources or battered women’s shelters exist in Seoul and other urban areas but may be limited in rural areas. Most are government administered and require a police referral. Call 112 for emergency assistance or 1366 to reach Korea’s 24-hour domestic violence hotline. Victims may also contact the Embassy, tel. (+82) 2-397-4114.

Lost or Stolen Passports:  If your passport is stolen, file a report at the nearest police station.

Don't buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if widely available.  It is against South Korean law to purchase these goods and against U.S. law to bring them into the United States. The  Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Division in the U.S. Department of Justice  has more information.

Avoid fraud and scams:  See  Department of State  and  FBI  websites for more information.

Tourism:  The tourism industry is generally regulated and rules with regard to best practices and safety inspections are regularly enforced. Hazardous areas/activities are identified with appropriate signage and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is widely available throughout the country. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more information on  insurance providers for overseas coverage .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties:  While in Korea, you are subject to local laws. If you violate Korean laws, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Be aware that:

• Immigration violations can lead to arrest, fines, and deportation.
• There is little tolerance for illegal drugs.
• If you mail illegal drugs to/ from Korea, you will be prosecuted.
• Commercial disputes may lead to criminal charges being filed under local laws.

Be aware that some crimes are prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website.

Arrest Notification:  If you are arrested or detained, ask officials to notify the Embassy. See our  webpage  for further information.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

Dual Nationality and Military Conscription:  Dual national males (including U.S. service members) may be subject to compulsory military service. If you have family ties to South Korea, consult the nearest Korean Embassy or Consulate or the  Korean Military Manpower Administration  regarding potential citizenship obligations  before entering South Korea .

Passport Seizures and Exit Bans:  If you are involved in a criminal investigation or commercial dispute, authorities may seize your passport and/or block your departure. While we may reissue a passport, we cannot lift an exit ban.

Exit Permits:  Exit permits are not generally required. However, if a parent requests a travel restriction on his/her child, Korean authorities may prevent that child from departing even when traveling with the other parent. As of June 1, 2020, foreigners who are long-term residents of the ROK are required to obtain a re-entry permit four business days prior to departure from Korea. The permits are available online through an e-application at the  www.hikorea.go.kr  website.

International Child Abduction:  See our website for information related to the  prevention of international child abduction . 

Working in South Korea:  If working, including teaching or modeling, you must enter with the appropriate work visa. It is not possible to change your visa status without leaving the country. If you begin work without the appropriate visa, you may be arrested, fined, and/or deported. If you are working without a valid work permit and get into a contractual dispute with your employer, you have little legal recourse.

Students:  See our  Students Abroad  page and  FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers:  See our travel tips for  Women Travelers .

ROK National Security Law:  Authorities may detain, arrest, and imprison persons believed to have committed acts intended to endanger the “security of the state,” including statements deemed to praise the political system and/or officials of the DPRK. 

Customs Regulations: There is strict enforcement of regulations on importing and exporting items such as firearms, narcotics and prescription drugs, non-prescription health supplements, radio equipment, and gold. Importation of materials deemed to be obscene, subversive, or harmful to the public peace is also restricted.

• Amphetamines are illegal in Korea. Do not bring amphetamines or other prescription narcotics into the country without obtaining advance permission in writing from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. See the  U.S. Embassy Seoul, Health Information page .
• Traveling with Pets: See  Korea’s Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency  website.

See the  Korean Customs Regulations website for complete information.

LGBTI Travelers:  Consensual same-sex sexual activity is not criminalized. Korea is a conservative country in regards to LGBTI issues. However, there are an increasing number of LGBTI-oriented clubs, festivals and NGOs advocating for LGBTI issues. The ROK National Human Rights Commission Act prohibits discrimination against individuals because of their sexual orientation, but there are no laws specifying punishment for persons found to have discriminated on this basis. Same-sex marriages are not recognized. Korean citizens can legally change their gender identity.

See   our  LGBTI Travel Information  page and section 6 of the  Department of State's Human Rights report  for further details.

Mobility Issues:  Korean law mandates access to transportation, communication, and public buildings. Cross walks typically have audio and visual signals. Older buildings and streets are generally less accessible than modern ones. Metro cars and buses in Seoul offer priority seating for the disabled and most metro stations have elevators. Metro platforms include Korean Braille information. Contact individual bus companies and subway associations for specific information. Foreign residents are eligible for disability assistance from local ward offices; assistance varies by ward.

Quality of Care : Western-style medical facilities are available in most large cities. However, not all doctors and staff, are proficient in English. A  list of hospitals  and medical specialists who speak English is available on our website. For emergency ambulance service dial 119. Ambulance services are widely available. For information on medical evacuation from South Korea, please see the State Department’s brochure on  Air Ambulance/MedEvac/Medical Escort Providers . 

We do not pay medical bills.  Be aware that U.S. Medicare does not apply overseas. Verify your health insurance coverage before traveling overseas. See our webpage for information on  insurance providers for overseas coverage . In most cases, health care providers will require payment in advance of treatment or will not release a patient until hospital bills are paid. We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to include coverage for medical evacuation.

Medication:  Carry prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Most prescription medications, except psychotropic types, can be obtained at Korean pharmacies (brand names often differ). Local pharmacies will require a prescription from a Korean doctor.

Update  vaccinations  recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

• World Health Organization
