    • General visa to South Korea

    A general visa to South Korea is issued for foreign nationals who intend to visit to Korea for conference, training, participate in a competition without receiving remuneration, etc. Its validity is 90 days (single and double entry; make sure your visa covers your travel dates) or 1-5 years for multiple entry. Nationals from countries eligible for Electronic Travel Authorisation may apply for K-ETA instead.

    Processing update as of 1st Sept 2026

    Please be informed that Global Singapore Associates will cease accepting and submitting South Korea visa applications with effect from 1 September 2026.

    This change follows the announcement by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Singapore regarding the transition to a new visa application process. As a result, agent submission is no longer accepted.

    However, we still assist clients with document checking, application preparation, and guidance to ensure that the required documents are properly prepared before submission. Please note that the final submission of the visa application will need to be made directly through the South Korea Visa Centre.

    Global Singapore Associates will continue to accept South Korea visa applications submitted on or before 28 August 2026, subject to the applicable processing requirements.

    Applicants intending to apply through Global Singapore Associates are therefore advised to submit their applications before the final submission date.

    Please note, we work on a pre-booked appointment basis only to ensure efficient and professional assistance to each of our clients. Please, scroll down to book an appointment.
