The British Embassy in South Korea^[a] (Korean: 주한 영국 대사관) is the diplomatic mission of the United Kingdom to South Korea. The British Ambassador to South Korea is Simon Smith, since March 2018.^[1]

History[]

Starting on 11 October 2007, the embassy stopped processing visa requests. Requests after this date are handled by the visa application centre.^[2]
