 |

| Does anyone know where I can find a definitive list of length of stay for people visiting Korea on a tourist visa, per country? I'm requiring on behalf of a guy with dual British/Irish citizenship and wondering if one is better than the other. Also I'd like to see the full list. |

They are both the same (90 days) for an actual visa or a 90 days for visa waiver stamp.
Several variations do exist for the visa waiver countries (like the USA at 30 days and Canada at 6 months).
The countries not on the visa waiver list can get either a 90 tourist visa or cannot gain entry except as diplomats.
Specifics are available in the appendix on the visa information page of the ministry of justice immigration page ( http://www.moj.go.kr ).

| I assume you simply have to contact the Immigration Office to get a tourist visa extension or waiver. Can someone please explain what the process involves? |

Visa waiver stamps are obtained on arrival at passport control of the country in question at the port of entry.
Visa waiver means you do not need a visa to enter the country as a tourist. You simply arrive and get a stamp on entry that allows you a period of stay as a tourist.
A visa is an entry document that is affixed into your passport before you travel to the country in question.
Tourist visas (C3 for a Korean Tourist visa) are typically obtained from an embassy or consulate of the country you wish to visit.
Some countries (like the USA) can obtain an extension for a tourist visa or an extension of sojourn on your visa waiver by making an application at the local immigration office.
Some countries (like the Philippines) cannot extend a tourist visa (C3) and must exit the country and obtain a new entry stamp to come back or extend their stay as a tourist.

Dunno, but were you on line number 6 in the afternoon yesterday? Swear I saw a guy that looked like you, wearing that hat you wear. |
