Embassy of the Republic of Korea in People's Republic of Bangladesh

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Bangladesh is pleased to announce that it will resume receiving Korea entry visa applications from Bangladeshi nationals starting from 24 October, Sunday, 2021.

The decision to resume the visa process has been made in consideration of the improved COVID-19 situation in Bangladesh and the low number of COVID-19 positive cases among the Bangladeshi arrivals in Korea.

If a noticeable COVID-19 positive cases among Bangladeshi arrivals in Korea happens again, restrictive measures on visa application can be reinstated by the Government of the Republic of Korea as happened in April 2021.
