 |
|
WARNING!!!
Visa runs can no longer be completed in one day using Korean Embassies in Japan...The one day rule was changed on Monday the 28th of February with little or no fanfare and in Fukuoka alone I noticed about 50 people who were considerably affected by this turn of events...Be warned you cannot get your visa in one day anymore... |

| People will have to let their school directors know about this when they're getting ready to do the visa run. |

Yeah, wednesday the 30th?!?! The second of March? Perhaps the OP went on March 1st, a holiday for Koreans and their embassies everywhere. |

| That might be the case in Fukoka, but I just got back from Osaka yesterday and you could still get a visa in one day there. |

| i was there on wednesday the second, but the one day visa rule was changed on monday the 28th...as of that day at least one full day is required to obtain the visa...i.e. place application before noon and receive passport at eleven am the following day...and from the sound of it this is a minimum so it may be best to check on the average number of applicants per day and make sure that the next day visa is even possible. |
