Can I appeal?
The Embassy rejected your visa application as after reviewing the document you submitted we decided your conditions did not meet our requirements. You may check the result and reason of the rejection on the Korea Visa Portal website, and we do not provide further details.
Unfortunately there is no appeal procedure at the Embassy level, but you may bring the case to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in Korea through your (legal) representative in Korea.
If you want to re-apply for a visa, please do so after three months. And please be kindly informed that the Embassy does not guarantee the issue of a visa and will make a decision based on the documents which you will submit at the time of your re-application
