 Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2014 7:05 pm Post subject: Visa option for 1 year while not working |
 |
|
| I'm a Korean adoptee from the US and planning on applying for a F-4 Visa after arriving in Seoul in March and looking for non-teaching work after I get the Visa. My understanding is I don't need a Visa to travel to Korea and stay while I apply for the F-4 visa (up to 90 days)? Also, if for some reason I run into any issues and I am unable to get the F-4 Visa is there another Visa or other option that would allow me to stay in Korea for about a year, even if I am not able to work? Also I plan to leave and reenter Korea every couple months to do some traveling outside of Korea. Thanks! |

If you're not working, and you don't stay more than 90 days after each time you enter the country, you don't need any visa. So, if you made 3 trips outside Korea in a year, you could just get by as a tourist without a visa. It's not a big issue with immigration. |
