Korean Embassy document verification appointments for academic documents in Nepal are fully booked for 2026. In its latest re-notice, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Nepal confirmed that no additional appointments will be available this year, including after the Dashain and Tihar holidays.
The Embassy also stated that information about resuming appointments for the Fall 2027 semester will be announced in early 2027. Additionally, the special university group submission service for academic document verification has been discontinued.
These updates are important for Nepali students planning to study in South Korea, particularly those who still need to complete their academic document verification.
What Has Changed?
The Embassy’s latest re-notice confirms the following arrangements:
Academic document verification: All appointment slots for 2026 have been filled.
Future appointments: Information about resuming appointments for the Fall 2027 semester is expected in early 2027.
University group submissions: The special service for universities to submit academic documents in bulk has been discontinued.
Student visa survey: The Embassy’s 2027 survey was conducted for internal reference, not to offer additional document verification appointments in 2026.
The Embassy has also warned that strict action may be taken against individuals or organizations spreading false or misleading information about appointment schedules.
Why Does This Matter for Students Planning to Study in South Korea?
Some students may still need consular verification of their academic documents for university admission. With appointments fully booked for 2026, this may affect their preparation timelines.
The discontinuation of the university group submission service is also important for students who previously expected their university to arrange document verification through that special process.
As all appointment slots for this year have been filled, no additional appointments will be made available in 2026, including after the Dashain and Tihar holidays. Applicants are advised to take this into consideration when preparing for their studies in Korea.
What Should You Do Now?
If you are preparing to study in South Korea, take these practical steps:
Check your university’s requirements.
Confirm which academic documents need consular verification for your intended programme.
Organize your documents.
Prepare your available academic records and identify any missing certificates, while following the applicable official requirements.
Contact your university if necessary.
Ask how the appointment suspension may affect your intended intake and whether any alternative arrangements are officially permitted.
Follow the Embassy’s announcements.
Check the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Nepal’s official website for the next update.
Do not rely on claims that someone can guarantee an appointment or bypass the announced arrangements.

Conclusion for Korean Embassy Document Verification Suspension Update
The latest Korean Embassy document verification re-notice contains three important messages for Nepali students: all academic document verification appointments for 2026 are fully booked, no additional appointments will be offered during the remainder of the year, and information about resuming appointments for the Fall 2027 semester is expected in early 2027.
The Embassy has also confirmed that the special university group submission service for academic document verification has been discontinued. Its 2027 student visa survey was intended for internal reference and should not be interpreted as an opportunity to obtain an additional appointment.
Students planning to study in South Korea should prepare carefully, check their university’s requirements and rely on official announcements for further information. Avoid unverified appointment promises and make study plans based on confirmed instructions rather than rumours.
