Does anybody have any experience of leaving Korea whilst on an F5 visa and if so, what did you have to do to make sure that it wasn't cancelled?

Different answers from different people - you know how it is when you call there - the left hand doesn't know where the right hand is, let alone what it is doing.....

It is not a problem (no re-entry permit required) until you are out of Korea for a year. How long are you going to be gone?

You can leave without problem for 1 year. If you stay out of Korea for 1 year your F-5 is canceled. I read this off the Immigration web-site when I processed my F-5 three years ago. May want to check yourself but I had no issues coming back from vacation in Bora Bora.

If you get a re-entry permit you can stay gone up to 2 years. If it's anything like the US coming in for a week restarts the clock. But my question is if you get the permit and come back to visit every 2 years would they let you keep it? I also wonder if you lose it can you re-apply for the F-5 or do you have to go back to the F-2-1 again and wait the 2 years ?! Confused
