Notice on Suspension of Re-Entry Permit Exemption and
Submission of Diagnosis for Re-Entry of Long-term Stayers
Recently, it has been confirmed that foreigners who have been staying in Korea for a long time have left the country and entered the country after being infected with Corona19, raising the need to strengthen the management of foreign nationals staying in Korea in areas where infectious diseases are at risk.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Justice will implement measures to "suspend re-entry permit exemption and implement re-entry permit system" and "mandatory possession of re-entry certificate" from June 1st. In order to minimize foreigners’ movement between Korea and dangerous regions and the inflow of new infectious agents by strengthening the re-entry for long-term foreigners registered in Korea.
1. Suspension of Re-Entry Permit Exemption and Application for Re-Entry Permit
A. Beginning June 1, 2020, registered aliens who are seeking re-entry into the ROK after departure are required to obtain a Re-Entry Permit in accordance with Article 30 of the Immigration Act, and leaving the Republic of Korea without a Re-Entry Permit will result in cancellation of Alien Registration.
B. Yet, those with Diplomats (A-1), Government Officials (A-2, A-3) or Overseas Korean (F-4) status do not need to apply for a Re-Entry Permit, and are allowed to re-enter the ROK as previously done.
C. Re-Entry Permit can be applied for at immigration offices across the nation including at the airports.
