So i am off to China in a week or so for 10 days and i know where to get my visa for China and all. Some people told me i might need a re entry visa.

Do i need one and if so where do i get this? in my local immi office? or is it the double entry visa listed below?

Thanks for any tips.

You need a Korean reentry permit, not a Chinese one.

You can get one stamped in your passport at your local immigration office (30000 won singly reentry, 50000 multiple) or you can get a single reentry at Incheon Airport before you check in.

If youre American & youre on your first visa & it shows a prominent "M" then youre already covered. If youre a Brit its free.

thanks guys,

Yes i know i need China visa and maybe re entry. I called the immi today and they said you have to apply for re entry and it takes 2 weeks

Can i just get it at the airport on the departure day and if so is it just stamp your passport, pay and off you go? If this is the case then it seems the best option is to get it at the airport.

I am Irish btw so does this apply only to American citizens?

Thing is i went to other countries in Asia before for vacation and i never needed or was asked about a re entry permit when i came back.
