! cal,
The NYC Consulate is located on the 6th Floor of 460 Park Avenue. I just took the N train to Lexington Avenue-59th Street, which has the N, R, and W trains, and is connected to the 4, 5, and 6 trains as well.
On the website, it says that the visa processing office is on the 4th Floor, but the people at the front desk will ask you where you're going and input the floor onto the elevator that they direct you to. There are no floor buttons that you can press. They will give you Floor 6, which can also do the visa, so no worries!
For the visa, you will need to bring:
It was over before I knew it.
Quick and easy.
Outside the consulate was a protest against Koreans eating dog meat. An old white lady approached me and launched immediately into a tirade about it. She gave me someone's business card and mentioned how they were standing in solidarity with Korean activists on the ground in South Korea pushing for legislation and policy changes regarding the dog meat market. They said that they were there since it was one of the last days of a festival, but didn't specify much beyond that.
Well, I didn't really stick around that long and just went on my way to play some Pokemon Go.

The visa process for the NYC South Korean Consulate was actually super easy. I completely over-prepared, but it's better than being unprepared, right?The NYC Consulate is located on the 6th Floor of 460 Park Avenue.

For the visa, you will need to bring:
There's a short security check and then you can just head on in to wait for someone to call you up. When I arrived at around 3PM on a Friday, there were a few people there, but no line. After I finished though, which took around ten to fifteen minutes, there was a line of around six people behind me. The person passed me a receipt with a classification (visa), date, name, fee, and date of pick up. It was around five business days so I am to return a week later to pick up my passport.
- - a visa application form
- - your passport
- - a ~passport photo of yourself
- - $45 in cash or money order (I just coughed up the cash)
