VISA is a kind of endorsement or acknowledgment, whose specific meaning differs from country to country. Generally speaking, however, it is used to mean one of the following two things; One being the 'permission to enter' a given country, and the other being the 'consul's recommendation for a foreigner's entry request.' In case of Republic of Korea, the latter definition is used. Therefore, even if one were to have a Korean visa, one can still be denied entry to Korean soil should an immigration officer find some requirements unsatisfactory after inspection. Visa free Entry (Visa waiver) Visa is a basic requirement for entry and in principle, a foreigner wishing to enter Korea must have a visa. However, a person meeting any one of the following qualification may enter Korean without a visa. (Article 7, Section 2 of the Immigration Act) * Those granted permission or immunity for reentry that enters before the expiration date. * Nationals of a country that signed visa waiver agreements with Republic of Korea and are thereby subject of exemption. * Those entering for the interest of international goodwill, travel, or purpose beneficial to Korea who have been granted permitted to enter by presidential decree. * Those that departed with a refugee travel certification and entering prior to the expiration date.
