Short answer — South Korea
A good cover letter is one page and covers six points: who you are, why you are travelling, exact dates, where you will stay, who is paying, and what brings you back. Write it in plain language and keep every claim consistent with the documents.
Why this happens
The cover letter is the assessor's map of your file. A clear one makes the rest of the pack easier to verify.
At Korea Visa Application Centre in India, Embassy of the Republic of Korea sets the underlying rule and the centre applies it at the counter, so the fix below is the same whichever Indian city you apply from.

We assist with slot booking, rescheduling, documentation review and supporting travel documents. We do not guarantee visa approval and we do not offer immigration or legal advice.
Important: Appointment availability, government fees and document requirements can change without notice. Always confirm the latest details on the official embassy / VAC website before travel. Nothing on this page constitutes legal, immigration or financial advice.
We provide assistance with official visa processes. We do not guarantee appointment availability or visa outcomes. Decisions rest solely with the relevant embassy, consulate, or authorised visa application centre.
