I want to stay in Korea longer (extending my visa)

체류기간 연장허가

Every registered foreigner whose period of stay is running out. It doesn't matter what status you hold - E-9, H-2, E-7, D-2, D-4, D-10, F-2, F-4, F-6, all of them.

An administrative agent can do this for you.
🔴 Go even one day past your expiry date and you become an illegal overstayer, facing fines and a departure order. You can apply from 4 months before it expires, so do it early. Marriage migrants (F-6) pay 30,000 won. E-9 and H-2 holders must first have their employment period extended at the employment center before immigration will extend their stay.

Leave a question

Just leave one way to reach you. We check it, pass it to an administrative agent, and the agent contacts you directly.

We only take your request and pass it to an administrative agent. You pay us nothing.

The more you write, the faster the agent can answer you.

It does not have to be a Korean number. Choose the country in the box before this one, and write only the number here.

We do not check what you write, and we do not report it to anyone. We do not tell employers either.

The year and month you are allowed to stay until. Look for the period of stay on your ARC (foreigner ID card), not the card's issue date. It is fine if you are not sure.

The contract has to be signed face to face, so we ask where you live only to connect you with an agent near you.

More options Optional

What you write and your contact go only to the administrative agent handling this. We do not tell your employer. The agent tells you the cost directly.
