The Republic of Korea's embassy in Sri Lanka is implementing adjustments to its visa application process in preparation for the opening of a new Visa Application Centre on August 21, 2026. Under the new system, all visa applications, passport submission and collection, and visa issuance will be managed exclusively through the Centre, accessible via its website: https://visaforkorea-sl.com/. Applicants must arrange their appointments in advance on this platform.
However, the embassy will still process Diplomatic and Official visas that come with a Third Person Note from Sri Lanka's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism. These applications can still be submitted in person at the embassy.
The online reservation system for consular services, such as notarization and Police Clearance Certificates, will remain unchanged. The embassy hopes that these modifications will streamline the visa application process for Sri Lankan citizens.
