Visiting Korea as an Indonesian citizen with a US student visa: Do I need a visa for Korea? [duplicate]

I live in Seattle. I am an international grad student in the US. I carry an Indonesian passport. And, I would like to visit Korea for 1 to 2 weeks.

What kind of visa do I need to apply for? How long does it take to process the visa? Do I visit an office in Seattle or do I apply for it online?

Best Answer

According to the official Korean Tourism Organization, you do unfortunately. http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/GK/GK_EN_2_1_1.jsp

However there seems to be a South Korean consulate with visa services in Seattle http://usa-seattle.mofa.go.kr/english/am/usa-seattle/visa/visa/index.jsp

As a side note, I do not think a US student visa grants any special travel exemption as the requirements are generally on your country of citizenship

Can international students travel to South Korea?

All international students are strongly advised and instructed to obtain a student visa (D-2) at the Korean embassy or consulate in their home countries. However, if they are already in Korea without a student visa (D-2), they need to apply for the visa as soon as possible upon arrival.
