visa extension rejected Korea

1월 12, 2018BY Admin

What if your visa extension rejected in Korea

Generally, a visa extension is reviewed on whether the required documents have been submitted and the requirements are met

If you got rejected your visa extension,

There are some reasons we can think of

  1. Please check your visa documents required if you have submitted all
  2. Please check if you have any unpaid taxes, It could make your visa extension denied
  3. Please think of anything you have any crime related and get a fine

If you have submitted all the required documents yet, then immigration office will give you some time to submit missing documents

Immigration offices may deny foreign residents who have unpaid taxes

If you have any crime related and get your visa extension rejected

But you have to stay in Korea longer to set up anything before you leave, then I’d like to recommend you to request administrative trial

An administrative trial takes time, but its effect on your stay depends on your individual case, so please confirm with your local immigration office

It could make the immigration office allow you the visa extension if you win the trial

It won’t be easy for foreigner to do alone, therefore I’d like to recommend you to hire an administrative agent ( 행정사 ) , they can assist you with the procedure

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What should I do if my Korea visa extension is denied, and how long do I have to appeal?
A. If an extension of stay is not granted, the immigration authority notifies the applicant on the prescribed form, and that form states a departure deadline of no more than 14 days from the date of issue. The Minister may instead set the end date of the stay already permitted as the deadline (Enforcement Decree of the Immigration Act, Article 33). An administrative appeal (haengjeong simpan) is generally filed within 90 days of learning of the decision, and cannot be filed once 180 days have passed since the decision unless there is a justifiable reason (Administrative Appeals Act, Article 27). Which route fits, re-application or appeal, depends on the reason for the refusal, so confirm that reason with the competent immigration office and decide before the deadline runs out.
