Top Documents Required for South Korea Visit by Nepali Citizens
Planning a visit to South Korea from Nepal requires careful preparation of documents, as the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Kathmandu strictly enforces its documentation policy. Whether you are applying for a tourist, business, student, or family visit visa, the same level of accuracy and authenticity applies. All applicants must first book an online appointment through https://koreanembassynepal.org before submission. Once the appointment is confirmed, documents are accepted Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and passports are collected between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Applicants must provide original or notarized English-translated copies of all documents. Submitting incomplete, old, or fake documents can result in immediate rejection or a three-year visa ban. Below is the essential checklist for Nepali citizens applying for any South Korean visa category:
Essential Documents Checklist
Valid Passport – Machine Readable Passport (MRP) valid for at least 6 months.
Completed Visa Application Form – Correctly filled with glue-attached photo (not stapled).
Visa Cover Letter – Clearly stating the purpose, itinerary, and sponsor.
Round-Trip Flight Booking – Must contain valid booking reference and reservation code.
Hotel Booking Confirmation – With full address and contact details.
Personal Bank Statement (6 months) – From an A-class bank.
Company Bank Statement (6 months) – If self-employed or business owner.

All Nepali documents must be translated into English and notarized by an authorized notary public, while Korean-issued documents must be submitted in their original form and issued within the last three months.
Submitting fake air tickets, incomplete financial statements, or forged certificates can result in a visa denial and travel ban. Applicants are therefore strongly advised to prepare accurate, updated, and verifiable documentation before visiting the Embassy.
