 |
|
My tourist visa runs out in two weeks and I have a New Zealand Passport.
I am currently looking at going to Japan to extend my visa for another three month as I have not found a job in Korea yet.
Has anyone done this before? If so could you help me out.
Does it matter what airport I fly out from and return (International or Domestic airport)?
Appreciate any help and advice!
Cheers |

It doesn't matter how or what port (airport) you leave from as long as you leave the country (even if only for a few hours) before your end date on your waiver stamp.
You can return on the next flight back and still no worry. |

Of course! As long as you leave within the 3 months period (last day included), you're fine. You just have to leave the country so you get an exit stamp and you can come back straight away and get a new entry stamp. Technically, you could do this a million times, don't worry! |

Not that simple.... apparently there are a lot of threads saying you need a return ticket or onward ticket before flying back to Korea.  |

| In the fall I was here for three months no visa (American, vwp), left for a few days, and returned to Korea for another 90-day stretch. I didn't have a return ticket when I came back into Korea in December, and it wasn't a problem. |
