Embassy of the United Kingdom, Seoul
The British Embassy, Seoul [a] (Korean: 주한 영국 대사관) is the chief diplomatic mission of the United Kingdom in South Korea, with the Ambassador of the United Kingdom to South Korea being the chief of mission.
Role
The British embassy in Seoul performs a sustaining role in South Korea–United Kingdom relations, dealing with political, economic, and cultural interaction between the two nations, and also offers visa services to Koreans and other nationals in the Republic of Korea.
History
Starting on 11 October 2007, the embassy stopped processing visa requests. Requests after this date are handled by the visa application centre.[2]
The embassy began offering free English-language education and job training to North Korean defectors in May 2011.[3]
In August 2017, the embassy returned part of the land it owned on the street along the Deoksu Palace to create a pedestrian path.[4]
