Seoul: P1 visas issued

Nonimmigrant visa: Athlete or member of entertainment group

From Mar 2025 to Feb 2026, Seoul issued 1,497 P1 visas, about 125 a month, up 25% from the 12 months before. But it issued only 62 in January and February 2026, against about 144 a month from March to December 2025.

This counts visas issued, which shows how busy the post is, not how long you will wait. The State Department data here ends in February 2026, so it cannot show what has changed since then, such as pauses that started or ended later.
