South Korea

The total is the official visa fee for your case plus our handling, and it changes with the visa type and how many people are in the file. Send us a passport scan on WhatsApp and we confirm the exact figure before you commit to anything.

We review every document before anything is submitted, prepare and lodge the file, book and track the embassy or visa-centre appointment, write the cover letter with your hotel and flight itinerary, and follow the status up daily until the passport is back in your hands. You deal with one team on WhatsApp the whole way.

Allow at least two weeks on top of the issuing time shown above. Collecting the documents takes time of its own, and appointment slots get scarce through the summer and around the holidays. If your travel is sooner than that, tell us anyway, because earlier slots do open up and we watch for them.

The usual causes are not personal. An application arrives incomplete or in the wrong format, the financial proof does not clearly cover the trip, or the stated purpose does not match the documents attached. That is exactly what the review before submission is for: we check every document so the file tells one consistent story.

Payment is in full when we open the file. We do not offer instalments. You see the exact figure and approve it before anything is submitted, so there is no surprise later.

No. The official fee is spent the moment the application is submitted and is not returned to us either, and the preparation work is done whether the answer is yes or no. That is exactly why the review happens before submission rather than after: catching a weak or inconsistent file early is what prevents a refusal, and it is the part we control.

Yes. Most consulates require the original passport with the application, so it stays with the file from submission until the decision comes back, and we follow the status up daily so it is not sitting anywhere longer than it needs to. If you need to travel during that window, tell us before we lodge the file so we can time it around your trip.
