 Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2003 8:54 am Post subject: Obtaining multiple entry tourist visa |
 |
|
This might be a bit difficult...how can I possibly obtain a multiple tourist visa while in Korea once my passport has showed I already have had an E-2 that was cancelled when I quit my shady hagwon. It's going to be so obvious as to what I'd be doing in Korea that I doubt any Korean embassy will approve one for me. I was already shot down in Thailand and have a month to either find an E-2 (really don't want one though) or figure something out. They're on to me! HEEEEELP!  |

| When I got my C-3 in the States (Altanta,) it was automatically multiple entry. You are going to have to leave Korea, I believe, but I'm not sure what the policies of the nearest embassies are. But I doubt they will believe you want the C-3 for honest tourism. |

| Depending on what nationality you are, will depend on whether you need a visa. We are Aussies and just come and go as we please. We have never been questioned by immigration since our E2's were rendered invalid. Many countries have arrangements for visa free travel. |

| True. I'm not sure where the OP is from. Americans do not have visa-free travel to Korea (because Koreans do not have visa-free travel to the US), but can get a 30-day, and 30-day ONLY visa on entry. |

American Citizens with valid U.S. passports may enter Korea for a period of 30 days without a visa (arrival day counts as day number one). All foreigners who stay in Korea more than 90 days must obtain residence certificates. Fingerprints are generally required of all foreigners over age 20 who will be here for at least one year.

You may enter Korea without a visa for a stay up to 30 days or less for tourism, visiting, or transit to another country when carrying a valid US passport.

Canadians get a 6 month tourist visa.
I'm wondering about the OP. Are you now here on a tourist visa? What is your visa status now? Are you still on that defuct E2? |

I think it means no visa at all. I only posted as I was concerned that your post indicated there was some sort of tit-for-tat when actually there isn't.
If it is the case where you do get a visa when you arrive, it should be stamped in your passport. |
