Embassy of Germany, Seoul, German diplomatic mission
The Embassy of Germany in Seoul is a modern diplomatic mission located on the eighth floor of Seoul Square in Jung District, the city center. It handles all official matters for German citizens and travelers, including visas, passports, and related documentation.
The embassy was established to maintain diplomatic relations between Germany and South Korea and to represent the interests of Germans in the country. Its creation marked an important development in establishing strong bilateral ties between the two nations.
The embassy functions as more than a government office; it serves as a place where German traditions and arts are shared with the local community through regular cultural events. These gatherings create opportunities for people to learn about German customs and strengthen connections between the two countries.
Visitors must check in at the reception desk and present a valid photo ID for entry; the building is on the eighth floor and is easily accessible by bus or subway. The office operates limited hours, typically in the mornings on specific days, so it is advisable to check the website or call ahead before visiting.
Beyond the main embassy in Seoul, there is an honorary consulate office in Busan, run by Professor Chin-Sung Dury Chung. This local office provides some services for Germans in the region and operates by appointment.
