It totally slipped my mind that I need to get a re-entry visa and I'm leaving in a couple of days. I seem to remember it being same-day; is that right?

Also, as an aside, do you need anything special when applying for it, or do you just walk in and drop the cash?

Thanks.

If you need it the same day you have two choices. If you are FLYING that day and need it you're best bet is to go to immigration in Incheon airport. It's 30,000won for a single re-entry (multiple not available there) and is done in like 15 minutes (allow a wait time though).

If you aren't flying, you can go to immigration and get a multiple re-entry visa for 50,000won. It took the usual wait time at the immigration office, plus about 30 minutes for them to actually process it and put the sticker in my passport.

Hope this helped.

Oh yeah, you need the cash, your passport, your ARC and the completed application form which you can pick up there.

They are supposed to be able to do them at any Korean airport that has international flights. Just allow time for it.
