Korea Visa Fees: A 2025 Update

Starting January 1st, 2025, South Korea will be implementing revised visa fees. These changes affect both single-entry and multiple-entry visas, impacting applicants worldwide. While precise Nepalese Rupee equivalents will be provided by Korean embassies and consulates in Nepal at the time of application, the US dollar amounts provide a clear baseline for understanding the new cost structure.

Single-Entry Visas:

The most significant change involves single-entry visas. These are intended for those planning a single trip to South Korea within a specified period. The new fee structure divides single-entry visas into two categories based on the duration of stay permitted:

• Up to 90 days: $40 USD
• Over 90 days: $60 USD

This represents an increase from previous rates (specific previous rates are unavailable publicly for comparison without access to archived official sources). Applicants should confirm the exact Nepalese Rupee equivalent with their local Korean embassy or consulate at the time of application, as currency exchange rates fluctuate.

Multiple-Entry Visas:

Multiple-entry visas allow for repeated entries into South Korea within a defined timeframe. The cost of multiple-entry visas will vary depending on the length of validity. Unfortunately, precise pricing details for multiple-entry visas haven’t been publicly released yet. Applicants seeking multiple-entry visas should contact their nearest Korean embassy or consulate for current and accurate pricing information. This information will include the relevant Nepalese Rupee equivalent based on the prevailing exchange rate.

Important Considerations:

• Currency Fluctuations: Remember that the Nepalese Rupee equivalent will fluctuate based on the exchange rate at the time of payment. Don’t rely solely on past exchange rates; check with your local embassy or consulate immediately before applying.
• Embassy/Consulate Contact: The most reliable source of information regarding visa fees and specific requirements is the Korean embassy or consulate in your country of residence. Their websites and contact details should be your primary resource.
• Application Process: The application process itself may involve additional fees for processing and services, which are separate from the visa fees detailed above. Be sure to factor in these potential additional costs.
• Visa Type: The fees listed above are for general tourist and business visas. Other visa types, such as those for work, study, or residency, will likely have different fee structures.

This article provides a summary of the updated Korean visa fees as of January 1st, 2025. Always confirm the exact amounts and requirements with the appropriate Korean diplomatic mission before commencing your application. Prospective travelers are strongly urged to plan accordingly and familiarize themselves with the complete application process.
