 Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2012 4:00 pm Post subject: Alien registration and single / multiple entry |
 |
|
I had a question about the single and multiple entry stamp.
I don't intend to leave Korea this year so I am wondering if I really need the multiple entry stamp. Next year I'll probably go travelling or go home but for this year I don't think I will.
Is the stamp valid for more than one year and if I get a single entry stamp now could I change it later, if need be? |

I thought I heard that all visas are multiple entry now. |

I left in February of this year to go home on vacation. While home I also took care of some passport business (it was due to expire soon). Upon re-entry I gave my new passport and ARC card to the Immigration officer who looked at them, at his computer, made a notation that I was an E-2 teacher in my passport and waved me on through.
No stamps or anything like that required. The law was changed a year or two back. |

| If you are from the UK and on an E-2 visa it will already be multiple entry. |
