3. Certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance

 

 

 

     A certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance is for faciliating visa issuance processes. Korean missions abroad are, when appropriate, issuing Korean visas in accordance with a certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance

If a foreigner submits a certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance to a Korean mission overseas, he/she can benefit from expedited visa issuance processes

To get a Korean visa by use of a certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance, the following steps should be taken ;

 
 
 

 


Step 1

  An invitor in Korea makes an application for a certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance to a local or district Immigration office having jurisdiction over the place of his/her residence

Step 2

  A Korean invitor recieves a certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance from an Immigration office and sends it to his/her invitee overseas

Step 3

  The visa applicant submits a certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance to a Korean mission overseas, along with other documents required, when applying for a visa

 


Note)  A certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance is not equal to a Korean visa. Thus, if you arrive at ports of entry in Korea without a Korean visa, you may be subject to inadmissibility
