South Korea saw close to 200,000 visitors from India in 2025, up 13% from the previous year, according to the Korea Tourism Organization. The growth has been steady, from 122,771 in 2023 to 176,668 in 2024, and now approaching 200,000. With more people applying, consular offices are handling a larger volume of applications and reviewing them carefully. As a result, the number of rejections has increased in total, but again this is mainly because a huge influx of applications are going their way. This means, the rejection rate has not gone up. The volume has. So it is safe to say that most rejections happening right now are not due to stricter policy. They are due to applications that were not prepared well enough for the level of scrutiny that a high-volume processing environment demands.
