The latest addition is a Korea Visa Application Centre in New Delhi, inaugurated by Lee Seong-ho, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to India, on 15 September 2026. This expansion brings the total number of centres in South Asia to six, enhancing accessibility for applicants.
The new centres in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Colombo, Sri Lanka, complement existing facilities in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata, India. This expansion marks a significant milestone for VFS Global, which has been a trusted partner of the Korean government for visa processing in India since 2011. Yummi Talwar, Chief Operating Officer for South Asia at VFS Global, highlighted the growing demand for Korea visas in the region, stating, "Reaching six Korea Visa Application Centres across three countries in South Asia is a significant milestone in our partnership with the Republic of Korea."
VFS Global's role in the visa process is limited to administrative tasks such as collecting application forms and enrolling biometrics. The decision to grant or refuse a visa remains with the respective Embassy. The expansion is part of VFS Global's commitment to enhancing the visa application experience with modern facilities and highly trained teams. As the company celebrates 25 years of enabling global mobility, it continues to support governments and citizens through trusted visa, passport, and citizen services worldwide.
