Welcome to the Visa Service Section of the Korean Consulate General.
On November 17, 2008, the Republic of Korea joined the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (VWP). As a result, on reciprocity, U.S. citizens can visit the
Republic of Korea without a visa for duration of up to 90 days or less if the purpose of the trip is for tourism, business, attendance at a
conference or visiting families or relatives. (Extension of stay is not permitted)
A U.S. citizen, who wishes to work, or to engage in profit making activities, is kindly requested to apply for an appropriate entry visa.
