 Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2010 7:10 pm Post subject: single entry visa question |
 |
|
When I re-sign this year, I am given a single entry visa. I could pay for the multiple entry, but I know I will not need it as we are leaving after the next contract. Here's my situation. Please give me your thoughts.
I will apply for a new visa in January. I will leave the country for a month. I will return on February 28. Will I be allowed into the country if I don't have a multiple entry visa? If it were just me, I wouldn't mind spending the extra 50.000. But I also would need it for my wife and children. I would rather not waste the money.
Thanks. |

IF you are a REGISTERED foreigner (have an ARC) then you no longer need a multi-entry or re-entry permit.
If you are unregistered then your visa will be canceled when you depart.
Same with your wife and child.

| so you are saying that since I received my first ARC (4 years ago) that I no longer needed to purchase the multiple entry visa? Just pay the 30.000KRW for the extension on my ARC? |

Effective as of Dec. 1, 2010, ALL registered foreigners (those holding an ARC) will no longer need a re-entry permit to exit and enter Korea.
The allowed (continuous) period of time outside of Korea is 1 year or until the visa expiry (whichever comes first) - 2 years in the case of an F5.

| You are awesome. Hope you become an expert on all things regarding teaching in Florida soon as that's where I'll be headed to next. Will miss all of your advice. |
