Tourist Visa

Indian citizens planning to visit South Korea for tourism are required to obtain a visa prior to arrival, as there is no visa-on-arrival facility for Indian nationals.

To obtain a South Korean tourist visa as an Indian citizen, you'll need to apply for a C-3 visa, which is a short-term visa for tourism and leisure, and you'll need to submit a completed visa application form, passport, passport-size photos, and proof of financial stability. 

Required Documents: 

• Completed Visa Application Form: Ensure you fill it out accurately and completely. 
• Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in South Korea. 
• Passport-size Photo: Submit a recent passport-size photo. 
• Proof of Employment or Business Documents: Provide evidence of your employment or business. 
• Financial Documents: Show proof of your financial stability, such as bank statements, salary slips, or income tax returns. 
• Additional Documents: Depending on your specific circumstances, you may need to provide additional documents. 
• Travel Itinerary: Provide a detailed plan of your trip, including dates and destinations.
