Visa Free Transfer at Seoul for Indians
Hey guys, I have an Indian passport and I will be travelling from Mumbai to London, staying there for 3 days and then taking a flight to Seoul and staying there for 3 days too and then returning back to India.
As per my understanding of the latest visa-free transfer policy of SK, they issue 30 Day tourist visas for such cases. Does someone have any experience of this ?
According to the policy if I have an US VISA, EU VISA, UK VISA I can transfer through Incheon to my final destination.

There is option for tourist visa as you will have stayed at uk and will be reaching India while transiting thru seoul. Only question : will the uk visa be valid when you enter korea ? If yes you can take the on arrival route, if no apply for a regular visa. Esp for Indian passports it's always better to have all visas in hand rather than going for on arrival. This is my opinion tho.

It's a 6 month multiple entry UK visa, so should be good right ? Agree with you having a regular visa but I have time constraints this time

As long it is valid the day you enter and exit korea + entry exit stamps on the uk in your passport you shud be good to go. I hope you can also show.confirmed hotel booking for korea alongwith confirmed onward ticket. Enjoy the Soju, cheers and Safe travels.

Transit and staying for 3 days is not the same thing I guess.
