South Korea Tourist Visa 2025

South Korea has long been an ideal destination for Vietnamese travelers thanks to its perfect blend of modernity and tradition. The bustling fashion streets of Seoul, romantic cherry blossom season, rich cuisine featuring kimchi, BBQ, and tteokbokki, along with the unique K-pop culture, captivate many. However, to fully enjoy your trip to the Land of Kimchi, you must hold a valid South Korea tourist visa.

South Korea tourist visas are typically issued under category C-3-9 (short-term), valid for three months and allowing a maximum stay of 30 days per entry. With post–COVID-19 reopening policies and rising travel demand, securing a South Korea visa has become somewhat easier, but it still requires a thorough and accurate application.

You need to prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a white-background portrait photo sized 3.5×4.5 cm, round-trip flight confirmation, and hotel booking details or an invitation letter from a relative if applicable. Additionally, financial documents such as a savings passbook, bank statements, or an employment contract with the last three months’ pay slips must be submitted.

One special feature of South Korea’s visa policy is the priority multiple-entry visas (5-year or 10-year) for travelers with a history of visiting developed countries or stable financial standing. Holders of these visas do not need to provide financial proof for future entries.
