From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of diplomatic missions in South Korea. There are currently 116 embassies and six Representative Offices in Seoul, and some countries maintain consulates (not including honorary consulates) in cities other than Seoul as well. Several other countries that have diplomatic ties with South Korea but do not operate embassies in Seoul maintain non-resident embassies, mostly in Tokyo, Beijing or elsewhere.
