Please help,
When you send your passport, visa number etc to the Korean Embassy, do you apply for multiple entry or single entry over 90 days? And how much are people paying? Seems to have shot up in price. Links and information appreciated.

There is no multi-entry. All E2s are allowed full re-entry privileges after you get your ARC.
In days gone by, UK passport holders received a single entry but could get re-entry permits for free. Now they don't need to (saved the stop at the immigration counter).

the multi-entry visa is given automatically.
http://gbr.mofat.go.kr/english/eu/gbr/visa/issuance/index.jsp tells you everything you need to know. Visa fees are 80 quid for the visa alone. Takes 5 working days. There is, if memory serves me correctly, an instruction sheet for filling out the form that the embassy provides with the visa application form. |

No, they just give you an E2 in your passport. Costs �80 cash or postal order. You can get a multiple entry when you go and get yur alien registration card once you arrive in Korea.
South Korean Visa Section
60 Buckingham Gate
London,
SW1E 6AJ.
Tel: 020 7227 5500
Fax: 020 7227 5504
Street Map of Visa Section
Ring them and check if you like, they are open 10am - 12 midday. I sent mine off last week and I'm picking it up tommorow.
Takes five working days + delivery time and you need to enclose a special delivery envelope OR go and pick it up from london. If you live far away that's no good though cus they close midday and most trains or coaches will get you there late. It's not far from Victoria Station. Just up the road walking distance. |

�80 wow, when I did it last it was around �30 but that was 3 years ago 
But it makes sense at it costs Y12,000 in Japan which is around �100 (for Brits), other citizens pay a lot less. |

Thanks for all the advice. So, i just need to send 80 cash, fill in a form from the website (?) and send them both off with my passport and return postage?
Once i get the visa issue number of course.
Used to be 30 pounds in 2010, shot up! |
Yeah the 80 hurts bad. Make sure you use a special delivery envelope, not ordinary postage.
Here is what you need (2 forms, not one!)
Oh by the way, on the visa application form under the 'CLASSIFICATION' heading, you need to choose 'OR' (means ordinary)
STEP 6 - Sending your documents to London
Now it's almost over. You now have to send your passport to London so that you can get the stamp and go. You need to send your things in a special delivery envelope and REMEMBER to put a return envelope inside. Otherwise the consulate will not be returning your passport to you.
Inside you will need:
*Passport
*Application form with passport photo (maybe add in another one too)

*Check list
http://www.gone2korea.com/document-downloads/E2-Visa-Consulate-Questionaire.pdf
*Money or postal order. The fee used to be �33 but now it's �80. Shocking amount but there you have it.
Send your passport down and it takes 5 working days. So, if your passport arrives Monday, you pick it up the following Monday morning. Sometimes you may be able to pick it up on the Friday but, better to leave it till the following week.
Then that's it. You'll have your new visa and it's off to K-town!!! |
