| If you plan on returning to Korea, you should hand it in (at the airport when you leave Korea). If not, keep it. |

| Why not just "lose" it? I don't see how not turning it in could negatively affect your chances of returning should you want to. |

| I'm coming back in a few months. What would be the repercussions of not turning it in? |

Your wallet got stolen? You left it as collateral at a jimjilbang and they accidentally gave it to some other foreigner?
Imagine losing it, then getting a replacement, and then finding the one you thought you lost.
Even if you were somehow coming back on the same visa I don't see how not turning it in could be an issue. |

| I lost mine 3 days prior to leaving Korea. When I was leaving they made me pay 80,000 won for not having it to turn it. I argued with the immigrations people until i was blue in the face and they were ready to detain me. Be ready to pay. |

| I was hoping on keeping it as a souvenir. Not really worth 80,000원 though. |
