South Korea Visa FAQ for Indian passport holders
Do Indian citizens need a visa to visit South Korea?
Yes, Indian passport holders need a visa to visit South Korea. The standard tourist visa is the C-3-9, which allows stays up to 90 days. K-ETA is not available to Indians. The only visa-free options are Jeju Island (up to 30 days, Jeju only, arriving on a direct international flight or ship) and a 30-day transit stay for holders of a valid US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or European visa who transit Korea under the published conditions. For the C-3-9 visa, apply in advance through a Korea Visa Application Centre run by VFS Global. If you live in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Daman and Diu or Dadra and Nagar Haveli, apply through a designated travel agency of the Consulate General in Mumbai (walk-in applications ended on October 1, 2026).
How much does a South Korea visa cost for Indian passport holders?
The visa fee is INR 3,600 for a single-entry C-3-9 tourist visa of up to 90 days, in force since August 2026. A multiple-entry visa costs INR 8,100. The visa application centre or travel agency charges its own service fee, separate from the visa fee. Group tourists from India pay no visa fee until December 31, 2026 under a Korean government waiver. Visarun's price is shown in the pricing section of this page.
Can Indians get a visa on arrival or e-visa for South Korea?
No. Indians cannot get a visa on arrival or e-visa for South Korea. The K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) is not available for Indian citizens. You must apply for a C-3-9 tourist visa in advance through a Korea Visa Application Centre in India or, in the Mumbai Consulate General's jurisdiction, through a designated travel agency.
What documents are required for a South Korea visa from India?
You need a valid passport with at least 6 months validity and 2 blank pages, two recent photos (3.5x4.5 cm, white background), completed visa form from the Korea Visa Portal. Bank statements for the last 6 months (stamped by bank), ITR for 1-2 years, and employer NOC or business registration. Confirmed round-trip flight and hotel reservation. A cover letter explaining purpose of visit. You must also submit an arrival card: the free e-Arrival Card online from 3 days before arrival, or a paper arrival card.
How long does it take to process a South Korea visa for Indians?
At the Mumbai consulate, regular processing takes 10 business days from the day the consulate receives your application, which can be later than the day you hand it in. As of November 3, 2026, applications received that day are expected to be finished by November 18. Express processing is not available for tourist visas in Mumbai, so apply at least one month before your trip, as the consulate advises.
