South Korea Expands Visa Access in India: Four Centres Now Serve Indian Travellers South Korea has quietly made one practical change that could make a considerable difference to Indian travellers: applying for a Korean visa no longer necessarily means treating New Delhi as the centre of the universe. The country has expanded its visa application infrastructure across South Asia, with four Korea Visa Application Centres now operating in India—in New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata. The wider regional network has reached six centres, with additional locations in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Colombo, Sri Lanka. The new New Delhi centre was inaugurated on 15 September 2026 by Lee Seong-ho, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to India. For Indian travellers, students, business visitors and other applicants, the significance is straightforward: more people can access the application process closer to where they live. And in a country as geographically large as India, that is not a small administrative detail.
