KOREAN VISA: LIST OF TRAVEL AGENCIES Accredited by the Embassy



Last updated: DECEMBER 13, 2019.

Here’s the list of TRAVEL AGENCIES officially designated by the Korean Embassy to accept KOREAN VISA APPLICATIONS. We also added their many branches and phone numbers.

The process of applying for a South Korean visa is straightforward. Getting one is easy, as long as you have all of the documents and meet the requirements. Before, you could go to the embassy and apply for one on your own. But because the number of Korean visa applicants have doubled over the past two years, the Korean Embassy has enlisted the help of carefully chosen travel agencies to receive the applications for them starting July 1, 2018.

Yep, tourist visa applications must now be coursed through one of their officially designated travel agencies. This means that from this date onward, the embassy will no longer accept walk-in applicants or any direct applications for a temporary visit visa (with some exceptions). Note that the Korean Consulate in Cebu is NOT affected by this and will continue to accept direct applications on site. But if you prefer to apply via agency, we also included accredited agency branches in Cebu.

Although the visa itself will most likely remain free-of-charge, these agencies will surely be collecting processing fees. The rates will vary, but it’s usually between P500 and P1500. Once it takes effect, contact these agencies and compare prices and identify which one is the most convenient to get to.


Here’s how to apply for a Korean visa:

Korean Visa Requirements & Application Process


Anyway, here’s the list of embassy-accredited agencies, their various offices around the country, and their respective contact details. We’re not sure whether or not all the branches listed below are prepared to receive Korean visa applications so get in touch with them before showing up at their office.
