 |
|
I'm a Canadian so I plan to stay here for longer than 90 days, but I can't find anything that says I do, or don't need one.
I'm just here visiting my girlfriend... and all the things say that I need a work visa (which I don't have)
Help?
Thanks!!! |

You don't need any kind of visa. You will automatically have a tourist visa.
You will have your passport stamped when you arrive. That IS your visa. Valid for 6 months for Canadians as far as I know. |

Provided you have onward or return passage (out of Korea) you will get a B2 stamp in your passport when you arrive and are good for a stay of up to 6 months.
You do NOT need to register or get an ARC.
You do NOT need a work visa.
Canada is a special case and it is based on reciprocal treatment of Koreans in Canada. They can do the same thing going to Canada.
