hey guys. well, the problem is that i'm in Korea on a 3 month tourist visa and it's going to end in about 2 weeks. I don't want to do the Japan run just yet because I heard you can extend your tourist visa at the immigration office. But the thing is that I don't know what specific reasons the immigration office will take in order to extend tourist visas. does anyone know of any way to extend tourist visas or what reason i should say for them to extend it and if the immigration office is strict on extending visas?

They don't extend tourist visas unless you are in the hospital or something.

Wrong.

I just got an extension on Tuesday. Admittedly, all I needed was 2 days.

If you are;

1. Infirmed
2. Married (and pending an F-2 visa)
3. Found work (and pending an E-2 visa)
4. Visiting relatives
5. Attending a short-term conference
6. Arrested (and pending trial)
7. Pending legal action (divorce, wills, lawsuits, etc.)
8. Attending a short-term training program

Whatever your reason is or will be, make sure you have documents to back it up.
