Yo, pulled a bonehead move and totally forgot that because of a visa extension this year I lost my multiple entry visa in my passport.
What's the skinny on getting this done at Incheon? My flight is at 8:00 on Saturday morning.
Am I better off hitting up the Mokdong office tomorrow AM and asking for some emergency help, or getting to Incheon early and dealing with them there on Saturday? Both? |

everytime i've asked for a multiple reentry at the airport they've said they don't do it (and i fly in and out every 6 months or sooner)
multiples are only done at the embassy for 50,000
singles at the airport are still 30,000 |

If you have the time, go to Mokdong to get the Multiple re-entry. I have seen the line at Incheon take over an hour to get through, but I have also seen it take only 10 minutes. Plus, as mentioned above, you cannot get a multi-pass at Incheon.
They can do it at Mokdong really quickly, pending on the length of the line-up. Once you are at the service desk, it is a matter of minutes. |

I've gotten 3 multiples at Incheon over the last 5-6 years. |

That is really strange as I and many others that I know have tried and been denied. I am not sure on the regulations with regards to each country, but I hear that Brits get their re-entry free. Could that be the reason? Are you British, and thus automatically have a re-entry permit but only need to apply for it? |

| Single entry at the airport, multiple at Immigration in your town. |

Yea, me too.
I've had no problems getting multiple entries at Incheon, and the last time they stopped charging for it. |

Nope. Canadian. It's not free, and it's not automatic as it is for Americans. Even GETTING my visa, I tell the consulate here's money for the multiple, just give me the multiple. "No." (This is seconds after my American friend got a multiple without even asking for it)
They will give me the single, then AFTER I arrive in Korea I have to apply for the multiple separately. (This is in the Fukuoka, Osaka, and Tokyo consulates... maybe other countries are different). But in getting the multiple at the airport, I have had no problems with it. Well, not counting them acting like arrogant dickheads. |

| I've gotten the single re-entry at the airport 3 or 4 times now and it's always taken less than 10 minutes. I don't think any of those times were around any major holidays though. |

Visa waivers are only for tourist entry. WORK visas are single entry only. If you want to leave on vacation, you need a SE stamp. You could get several SE stamps if you want, I suppose, but ME is cheaper if you leave several times throughout the year. |

| Last time I was at Incheon, I asked at immigration for a multiple entry visa, and then told me 'no', and that I could only get a single-entry at Incheon. Then, the immi woman pulls up my file on her computer, saw that I'm not on an E-2 visa, and said "no problem". I got the multiple-entry. Therefore, I think it has something to do with the type of visa you're on. |

| Went to Mokdong and got the multiple entry stamp. The guy at the counter said it was a good idea to go there because the holiday rush can really slow down/back up the branch at Incheon. |
