Korea Re-Entry Permit Guide for Foreigners

Generally, foreigners with an ARC who leave Korea for temporary travel need either:

• A single re-entry permit — for one departure and return
• A multiple re-entry permit — valid for multiple trips within the permit period

Some long-term visa holders received multiple re-entry authorization automatically on their ARC — check the back of your card and HiKorea for your status. When in doubt, call 1345 before booking flights.

1. Confirm requirement on HiKorea for your visa type
2. Book an immigration appointment or use eligible online application
3. Bring ARC, passport, and application fee (approximately ₩30,000 single / ₩50,000 multiple — confirm current fees)
4. Apply before departure — airport same-day applications are not reliable
