South Korea visa status checker

How to check your South Korea application

Korean visa applications covered by the Korea Visa Portal.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the Korea Visa Portal and select the language you need.
2. Use Check Application Status, then Check Application Status & Print. Select the application route that matches your submission.
3. Enter the identifiers requested for that route, check the result and follow the official printing instructions where offered.

Choose the correct application type

Confirmation of Visa Issuance and an application submitted through a diplomatic office are different choices. Match the service to your original application.

Information to keep ready

Keep your application acknowledgement, submission date, visa category and the name of the submitting office available. The official service determines which identifiers are required. Enter personal information only in that service; VisaWand does not need your passport number, login password or application reference.

If the record cannot be found

Compare the service and reference with your receipt and check the fields requested on the official screen. A technical error or missing result does not establish a decision. Follow the handling office’s help instructions if the record still cannot be retrieved.

After an update or decision

Read the actual notice and any document request, collection instruction or deadline. Passport movement, the validity of an issued permission and progress of a pending application are separate checks. Use the decision notice to confirm the outcome and next action.
