11) Since there will be no visa sticker affixed to the passport, why is my passport being kept at the Embassy?

▷ Your passport must be scanned and will go through checks during the processing of your visa application. Therefore, your passport must be kept at the Embassy.

12) My visa has been denied. Can I know the reason for rejection?

▷ In general, we do not provide the reason for rejection.

13) I have a valid multiple entry visa issued previously. Can I use it to enter Korea?

▷ Please note that we will NOT be contacting you separately to provide any status update on your application unless additional document(s) is required. You can check if your application was successfully submitted by following the steps listed here (click).

16) I applied for a student visa and the programme duration is 6 months. However, I notice that the validity period of my Visa Grant Notice is 3 months. Does it mean that I can only stay in Korea for 3 months?

▷ Validity of visa and duration of stay allowed are different entities. Visa is valid for 3 months once issued. This means that you will need to enter Korea within 3 months of its issuance or else the visa will lapsed. On the other hand, the period of stay listed on the Visa Grant Notice is the duration of stay allowed. The period of stay will start to count from the date of entry.

17) Is visa required for transit at Incheon Airport?
