You pay for the cost of the reentry Visa. The only time the school should pay is if they are forcing you to leave the country and return, but if you just want to go on a vacation you should pay.
If you want to blame somebody blame your government for having the same Visa policy towards Koreans. |

| Well my employer is going to go to immigration and change it for me. She doesn't know about the cost yet. In other countries that I've worked in...my employer has ALWAYS paid for visa expenses. I shall say this....and then I'll say ...but if you insist I will pay. My employer's been straight up on everything and I've lived and worked in Asian for five years ...but anyway will wait and see. |

| Is a multiple-entry visa necessary? Should your employer be paying for your ability to take a vacation overseas? |

| Well it depends on which country you are from. When I went to immi recently to do this, I bought the stamps for multiple re-entry which are 30,000w for single re-entry or 40,000 for multiple. However the officer refunded me, because I am British and Brits don't pay for a multiple re-entry. I was with 3 other Brits and the same happened to them. Not sure about other nationalities. But make sure if someone is doing this for you that they don't claim to have paid. |

Spoken like a true hagwon boss/Korean. Suppose the free airline ticket offered should also not be provided. I mean ...we are all foreigners.....of course we should all pay for this. Jeez.....
Ps. I don't regard going home to visit my family as a vacation. Being from a really close family...I see it as a necessity.

Brits get their re-entry permit free, Americans USUALLY get a multiple re-entry visa for their 1st year but need to get a re-entry permit if they extend their stay. The rest of us have to pay for re-entry privileges.
Single re-entry permits are 30k each time.
Multiple (1 year) re-entry permits are 50k (NOT 40k like mentioned in the post above).

| I don't mind paying for it, but I didn't like it when the recruiter told me to get a multiple entry visa without telling me it was optional. You can get one at the airport if you need it. There is no need for it unless you know for certain you have to leave. |

My experience mirrors this info. When I applied several years ago through the K consulate in Atlanta, GA I was given multiple entry (I extended on 2 occasions while remaining in Korea). This time around however, I was only given single entry from the same consulate for a new visa while I was at home. I don't know the reason; that I just what occurred for me.

| Sorry, I don't work in a situation that covers airfare nor visa expenses. I'm an adult; I take care of myself. I go get and pay for my own multiple-entry visas. |
