Can anyone confirm that I can travel to North Korea and then get back in to South Korea wihtout a multiple entry visa?
My travel agent continues to write that I can visit North Korea, but seems very hesitant ot put in writing that I will be able to get back in to the south on my current single visa, although they are happy to assure me of it verbally.
Does anyone have any information? |

You didn't leave enough information to give a completely accurate answer so... generally speaking (I am assuming you are here on an E1 / E2 or E7 visa):
If you leave the country you will need either a multi-entry visa or a re-entry permit to get back in without having your current visa cancelled.
You can obtain a re-entry permit at the airport or at your local immigration office. A single re-entry permit is 30k won and a multiple re-entry permit is 50k won. You will need to show your ARC, passport and fill in an application as well as pay the fee.
If you are talking about a trip to the DMZ / Panmunjom you do NOT need a re-entry permit.

No, it's not the DMZ, but an overnight trip to Mount Kamgung. Any idea about that?
You're correct, I'm on an E2, but I don't have my ARC yet, so getting a re-entry visa would be tricky. |
