What should I do if my Korean personal tourist visa is refused?

After a visa is refused, you can apply again in person with relevant materials. A refusal will not affect future applications.

For example, when applying for a Korean visa or a U.S. visa, if your purpose of travel is genuine but you just didn’t answer the questions well during the interview or you didn’t prepare enough materials, you can reapply right away.

Being rejected once does not mean that the visa is permanently rejected. If the applicant is really rejected by the visa officer, do not be discouraged. You must carefully analyze the reasons and provide more convincing materials. The applicant can also attach a letter of explanation to explain your situation and ask the visa officer to reconsider. .
