VFS Global expands Korean visa processing across South Asia

VFS Global, a leading visa facilitation service provider, has rolled out an expanded network of Korean visa application centres across South Asia as part of efforts to streamline visa processing in the region. The expansion includes the establishment of six new centres across India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, bringing Korean consular services closer to prospective travellers.

The initiative aims to reduce processing times and improve the overall visa application experience for citizens of South and Southeast Asian countries. By decentralising visa services, VFS Global seeks to accommodate growing travel demand to South Korea, particularly for business, education and tourism purposes.

South Korea has emerged as an increasingly popular destination for regional travellers in recent years, driven by interest in Korean culture, educational opportunities and economic ties. The expansion of visa processing infrastructure reflects growing bilateral engagement between South Korea and countries across South Asia.

VFS Global operates as an outsourcing partner for diplomatic missions, managing visa application centres and related services on behalf of governments. The company operates in numerous countries and serves millions of visa applicants annually through its global network of centres.
