E-3 Renewal

You will need to pay the visa fee in KRW into their Korean bank account (ie cannot pay with credit card) it is easier if you can pay through a friend’s bank account. This is the key hassle, otherwise their turnaround time is super quick, usually next business day but allow one more day for a pick up.

Highly recommend Seoul for an E-3. I was obtaining a change of employer visa and Seoul had a far quicker turnaround time than mail-in in Australia. Took a week to get the appointment, but only 3 days for processing. The Seoul embassy was efficient, competent and knowledgeable, even though they don't see a lot of E-3's. Would return for any future renewals.
