South Korea Visa FAQ for Pakistani passport holders

Do Pakistani citizens need a visa for South Korea?

Yes. Pakistani citizens need a visa to visit South Korea; for tourism this is the Short-term Visit visa C-3-9. There is no individual tourist e-visa: you apply at the Korean embassy or consulate that serves your place of residence, or its Korea Visa Application Center. A visa is needed for every part of Korea, including Jeju Island. Each mission sets its own processing time, so apply well before your trip.

How much does a South Korea tourist visa cost?

The official fee is USD 40 for a single-entry visa of up to 90 days, USD 60 for a single-entry visa of 91 days or longer, USD 70 for a double-entry visa and USD 90 for a multiple-entry visa. Korean missions collect the equivalent in local currency when you apply, and the fee is not refunded if the visa is refused. Visarun's service fee for preparing and checking your application is separate and shown in the pricing section.

How long does it take to get a South Korea visa?

The Korea Visa Portal does not publish one processing time: each Korean embassy or consulate sets its own, so check with the mission that serves you and apply well before your trip. Do not travel to Korea while the application is pending, because entering before the visa is issued cancels it. After approval, you must claim the visa within 3 months of the application date or of the approval notice.

How long can Pakistani citizens stay on a C-3-9 visa?

A single-entry C-3-9 visa is valid for 3 months and allows a stay of up to 90 days. A double-entry visa is valid for 6 months, with up to 30 days per entry. Multiple-entry visas of 1, 3 or 5 years, with 30 or 90 days per stay, exist for eligible applicants such as frequent visitors and permanent residents of OECD countries. The visa is for holidays and leisure, not paid work. You need no K-ETA, but you must submit an arrival card on entry.

What documents do Pakistani citizens need for a Korean tourist visa?

You need the visa application form (Form No. 17), completed with the e-Form on visa.go.kr, printed and signed; your passport; a photo in the standard format; the visa fee; and documents showing you can cover your stay in Korea, or an identity document. The embassy or consulate may ask for more, depending on the country where you live. Use only the official portal, visa.go.kr, because counterfeit visa portal websites exist.
