Visa fee for workers going to Korea under EPS increased

The visa fee for workers going to South Korea under Korean Language Test (KLT-EPS) has been increased.

The South Korean Embassy in Kathmandu has increased the visa fee effective from January 1.

The South Korean embassy charges a visa fee of Rs 7,200 for workers going to South Korea under Korean Language Test (KLT-EPS) currently. From January 1, the fee has been increased by Rs 600 to Rs 7,800, according to the EPS Korea branch.

In order to complete the necessary procedures before issuing the visa (CCVI), the person himself has to attend the EPS office and submit the CCVI form, the notice reads, adding that from January 1, people who fill out the form will have to pay Rs 7,800 for the visa fee. "People, who have already submitted the CCVI form and have not been issued a visa will also have to pay the increased visa fee."

The office has also requested to pay an additional Rs 600 to the people, who have submitted the CCVI form before, as they will go to the Korean Embassy in Kathmandu to get visa only after January 1.
