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]
The embassy began offering free English-language education and jobs 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]
