I. Overview of the Korea Visa Application Center in Hanoi – KVAC Hanoi

1. Introduction to KVAC Hanoi

The Korea Visa Application Center (KVAC) in Hanoi was established under the authorization of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Korea, with the primary purpose of assisting individuals and organizations in applying for Korean visas.

KVAC Hanoi is an authorized visa center responsible for receiving and processing visa applications for entry into Korea. It is not an official department under the Consular Office of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Hanoi. Instead, the center operates as a bridge between visa applicants and the Korean government, helping to streamline the visa application process and offering related services to support clients before, during, and after obtaining their visas.
