 |
|
| Basically I was just wondering if they need to keep you passport when you change your E2 visa to multiple entry? Is there anything you need to take apart from your passport and ARC? Finally, if anyone can give me directions to immigration in Mok-Dong from the subway that would be great! Thanks very much |

| No need to go in person, just get it here http://www.g4f.go.kr/ and apply. Make sure you print out the certificate of permission to take with you when you leave the country. |

Purple line - Omokyo station, exit 7.
Walk straight out the exit.
Do not turn any corners.
Follow the road for 800 meters.
It will curve to the right and end at a T-intersection.
Across the street and a little to the left you will see a 6 story building with "Seoul Immigration" written on it at the top of the 6th floor.
Go in the main door and turn right.
Next to the back counters you will see a machine that gives out your waiting number.
Punch #2 and take a number.
Go to the desk beside the ticket machine and fill in an application form.
At the top of the page tick the box that says "re-entry"
Wait for your number to come up.
Go to the immigration officer, show him your passport, ARC, and give him your application form.
He will send you downstairs to the snack bar to get the revenue stamps to pay for it.
Give him the stamp.
Sit down in a chair and wait. It takes about 15 minutes.
I think I got it all covered. |

I don't know where the Mokdong one is...sorry can't help you there, but there is an option if you are willing to wait until you leave.
Go to the airport early, head down to counters G/H (near that end of the airport), go to the immigration office there, pay the 30k-50k+/- fee and get the new stamp in your passport. It's another option if you have the time when you are flying out to do it.
Also, probably an obvious question but worth asking just in case do you actually need one? If you are American, you have it automatically. I think everyone else has to pay a fee, different nationalities have a different fee. You've probably already checked that but just thought I'd ask in case  |

Americans should (but don't always) have a multi-entry visa. CHECK the visa.
Brits get the re-entry permit free but they have to ask at an immigration counter.
The rest of us pay 30k for a single use re-entry permit (airport or immi office) and 50k for a multi-use re-entry permit (immigration office only).

Oh see I thought it was automatic...US citizen+E2= multi-entry. All three of the E2's I've had have been. I guess I got lucky/spoiled on it. This is the first time I've actually managed to travel on mine. Never managed to either have the time to travel properly or the money. Oh well, thanks Ttompatz, if you do decide to leave because of all the immi crap Dave's will lose a great asset. |
