Korean Embassy in Nepal confirms no more academic verification appointments in 2026. Fall 2027 updates expected early 2027. What students should do now.
Most arrival guides list what you need. This one lists the order. Do these steps out of sequence and you will be sent back to an office you already visited.
The Employment Permit System is the largest legal route from Nepal to Korea. It is also the route with the most misinformation around it. This is the official sequence.
Visa extension in Nepal is an online form followed by an in-person visit. The form is easy. The rules around the annual limit are what catch people.

New guides and revisions, newest first.
Korea wants 400,000 international students and has published a plan to get there. The biggest win for Nepali applicants, the catch alongside it, and why none of it is in force yet.
Parents or family of an F-6 marriage migrant, coming to help with a child. Almost every document describes the child - and a sibling may come only if the parents cannot.
C-4-5 sits in the short-term employment class, so it asks you to prove the work is real. That means a Media Rating Board recommendation your promoter has to obtain.
C-3-3 is not the visa for getting treatment in Korea. It is the visa for treatment arranged through a registered medical tourism agency - and without one, you are a C-3-1 applicant.

Rents, hospitals, transport and offices differ enormously between Kathmandu and Biratnagar. These guides go street level.
The capital and the centre of almost every administrative process in Nepal - immigration, embassies, hospitals, universities and the largest foreign community.
Patan - quieter than Kathmandu, heavy with Newa heritage, popular with INGO staff and long-stay residents for its courtyards and cafes.
A walled medieval city on the valley rim, cheaper rents, strong craft traditions and an easy commute into Kathmandu on the BP Highway.
Lakeside city under the Annapurnas - the tourism capital, a growing remote-work base and the gateway to most major treks.
Directory
Hospitals, banks, government offices, schools and services — with the address, the opening hours and the languages the staff can actually serve you in. Entries we have confirmed ourselves carry a verified mark, and that mark is not for sale.
