Hello All,

Is transit visa required for nepalese national while traveling through Incheon International Airport Korea from KTM to USA. Previously, I had booked the ticket through Hong Kong and later I knew that transit visa is required while traveling through Hong Kong from KTM to USA in Cathy Dragon and American Airlines. I cancelled that booking. Comments from experienced people are highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nepali passengers with a valid passport are allowed to travel via Seoul without a transit visa, unless they need to go outside the airport. Passengers can stay in the international transit area for upto 24 hours. Until recently, they used to provide transit visa or arrival visa to Nepalis who had a valid visa for USA. They have stopped visa on arrival now.

Here are the rules on the Amadeus GDS system:
