The New DS-160 Non-Immigrant Visa Application

March 15, 2010

Embassy Seoul is pleased to announce our new web-based nonimmigrant visa application form: the DS-160.  This interactive, online form will incorporate and replace all existing NIV application forms (DS-156, 157, and 158) and take advantage of new technologies to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the visa application process and better serve our applicants. 

Effective April 1, 2010, all nonimmigrant visa applications in Korea must be made by completing the DS-160 application online.  Applicants will then bring only one printed confirmation sheet to their visa interview.
