2. Enter VFS Centre
Once your documents are ready, head to the South Korea VFS centre. The good news? You usually don’t need to book an appointment in advance. According to the vlogger, most VFS centres accept walk-in applications. Also, avoid carrying electronic devices other than mobile phones.
3. Wait for your turn
At the VFS centre, you’ll be given a token number. You have to wait until your number is called. Once it’s your turn, submit your application along with your passport and other required documents.
4. Pay the fees
Once your documents are checked and everything is in place, it’s time to pay the visa fee. Applicants need to pay ₹5,130 at the VFS counter. Ishita also suggested keeping the payment receipt safe, as you might need it later while collecting your passport. Visa processing time is around two weeks.
