Important: SureshotVisa guides you through this route and, once you hold your own job offer or employer sponsorship, prepares and files the visa application — we are not a recruiting agent, so the offer must be yours. This entry is informational only. South Korea has several employment categories — short-term employment (C-4) for under-90-day paid work such as entertainment, modelling, lectures, research or technical training; long-term employment (E-series) for research, technology, professorship, arts/entertainment and similar roles; and a job-seeker (D-10) visa for those looking for qualifying employment. These visas hinge on a confirmed job offer, employer sponsorship and (for many) a Confirmation of Visa Issuance issued in Korea by the Korea Immigration Service. Because we do not handle work permits, employment contracts or employer sponsorship, applicants should work directly with their prospective Korean employer and the Embassy of the Republic of Korea / Korea Immigration Service. The information below is a general orientation, not a service we provide.
What it costs
Paid directly to South Korea / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per visa.go.kr, last verified 9 Jun 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
SureshotVisa does not process South Korea work/employment visas, so we do not quote fees for them. Fees vary by category and entry type — confirm directly with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea / Korea Immigration Service at the time of application.

Japan requires a day-by-day schedule on its own official form — the most structured itinerary requirement anywhere.
3 of 4 are compulsory for South Korea
Where people slip: A reservation whose dates drift by even one day from the schedule form. The two are read side by side.
Book for ₹708 (+₹472 per family member)Where people slip: Leaving a night blank because of an overnight train. Write the train in — a blank line is what gets the file returned.
Confirmed hotel booking, ₹590 per hotel: message us firstWhere people slip: Assuming a short trip is low risk. Ambulance and hospital costs in Japan are among the world's highest.
Where people slip: Treating it as a formality. It is the document the officer reads most closely, and inconsistencies are the usual reason for a return.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your South Korea file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.
Flight reservation ₹708 (+₹472 per extra family member) · Confirmed hotel booking ₹590 per hotel · Travel itinerary ₹1,499. GST included.
Delivery. Usually within 30 minutes during office hours, Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00 IST. Confirmed hotel bookings are not bought online: message us first on WhatsApp or email info@sureshotvisa.com with the city, dates and travellers.
