Starting July 1, the Korea Visa Application Center now requires applications to include a Privacy Consent Form. Don't worry—you won't have to make your own letter or pick it up physically at the KVAC office; you can easily download it for free online.
"This form ensures that your personal information is handled in accordance with privacy regulations and is used solely for visa processing purposes," says the Korea Visa Application Center in a memo released on its website.
If you or someone close to you applied for a Korean Visa this June, you might already remember needing this form. This is because this program has been on a test run for the entire month of June. But starting July 1, it will be required in all applications.
