This Saturday, I’m going to Japan. My 90-day “tourist” visa for South Korea expires soon, so I need to exit the country. Hopefully, they’ll let me back in. I’ve never heard of them NOT letting someone back in, but one can always find new ways to feel paranoid, right?
Korea has been getting increasingly meticulous and rigid about immigration matters, and for the most part, I don’t resent this – it’s no worse than what you see in the U.S. or Europe. But it does make for a certain amount of stress, when one’s status isn’t “nailed down.”
