Can I apply for schengen visa from a country other than my country of residence.?
As I am holding Indian passport and staying in South Korea at present and I want to go to Germany from Korea directly, so am I permitted to apply for the Schengen visa from here?
If so, what is the procedure? Is there any difference?
Also about the documents as I do not have any Korean bank accounts/ insurance as per rules. So what do I do? I have an ARC, will this suffice?

If you are in Korea on a residence or long term visa, the German Embassy may allow you to apply for a Schengen visa through it, although it may not if you are there as a visitor/tourist. Its Seoul Consular Services are done in person.
