Visa/Immigration/Residence

Stay of foreigner

• What is Visa?
  • Visa is a type of endorsement or confirmation in its original sense, and its meaning is different according to national policy.
    It is divided into the meaning of "confirmation of immigration permission" which acknowledges that a foreigner can enter the country, and the country which the consular officer refers to as "the act of recommending entry" for a foreigner's permission for entry. In Korea, we understand the latter meaning, "Recommendation of Consular Entry to Foreigner's Application for Entry Permit"
    Therefore, even if a foreigner holds a visa, he / she may not be allowed to enter the country if he / she does not meet the immigration requirements as a result of immigration examination by the airport immigration officer's examiner.
• Times when you can enter without a visa
