| Does anyone know what countries have a Korean embassy and which one's don't? I know Japan does but what about Hong Kong, Guam, Vietnam, Thailand, etc.? |

| Unless I'm sadly mistaken, one CANNOT go on a visa run to Taiwan, as S. Korea does not have(political) diplomatic relations w/ the Republic of China. |

| It was a long time ago, but I got one of my visas in Taiwan. As far as I know, things haven't changed. |

True, no official diplomatic ties (like most countries, in fact, including UK and USA) but there is both a Mission and a Trade and Cultural Office. Tel numbers are 2758-8320 and 3725-2324. |

| And if you're from the US (imagine this applies in Canada as well), they'll ask you for a "home" address and direct you to the consulate for THAT address. I'm from Detroit but did a visa run to L.A. No dice--had to express mail my stuff to the Chicago consulate. Isn't bureaucracy wonderful? |

| Doesn't apply in Canada, because the consulate nearest my house is in Montreal, but I've gotten my visa in Toronto twice. |
