KOREAN VISA: List of Accredited Travel Agencies Allowed to Process Visa Applications

List of Accredited Travel Agencies Allowed to Process Korean Visa

Where to apply Korean Visa in the Philippines?


Starting July 1, 2018, Filipinos who wish to visit South Korea should course their visa application through accredited travel agencies. This new policy shall be implemented due to the huge increase in Korean visa applications which causes inconvenience to the applicants. Also, the new policy aims to have better visa application process in the Philippines for Filipinos wanting to visit South Korea.

In a notice on its website, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the Republic of the Philippines said, "Total number of visa applicants increased from 90,000 in the year 2015 to 120,000 by the end of 2016. In the year 2017, total number of visa applicants recorded was around 160,000. This increase in number of visa applicants caused the applicants to stand in hot weather outside the embassy for hours to wait in line for their turn to apply for respective visas. To avoid such inconvenience, the embassy has designated 35 travel agencies to process temporary visitor’s visa application."

However, walk-in visa application will still be allowed and accepted for applicants of the following:
  • Spouses and children of Koreans
  • Holders of visa issuance number
  • Government employees with official business trip
  • Those with humanitarian reason to travel to Korea urgently

  1. Hello. Good evening, may I ask if I can have a separate booking at traveloka while I chose to the list of acceredited travel agencies for a Korean Visa? Is that possible? I mean, won't there be a problem? Thank you :)

  2. Hi, is it true that travelers from Mindanao like us may only process Visa in Manila? Cebu really will not cater us?
