Useful Info

Most foreigners intending to enter the Republic of Korea for short-term tourism or transit purposes can enter without a visa under the tourist transit qualification (B-2, 30 days) based on reciprocity or national interest considerations. However, Canada is granted 6 months, and Australia is granted 90 days.
The concept of a visa in our country refers to the 'consul's recommendation for a foreigner's entry permission application,' which is different from the entry permission itself. Therefore, even if a foreigner obtains a Republic of Korea visa, the immigration officer may still refuse that foreigner's entry. Republic of Korea visas include the 'single-entry visa,' which allows entry only once, and the 'multiple-entry visa,' which allows entry any number of times within the visa validity period. Additionally, there are special forms of visas such as the 'group visa' and 'foreigner's entry permission certificate,' and as a form for visa issuance, there is the 'visa issuance approval notice'.
