Tourists Who Overstay in Korea Panic for the Wrong Reasons
Tourists who overstay in Korea often fear bans immediately, but immigration decisions depend on duration, intent, and voluntary action.
Situation Mapping: Types of Overstay
- Short overstay: Days or a few weeks
- Medium overstay: Several months
- Long overstay: Extended, undocumented stay
Authority Logic: How Immigration Judges Cases
Immigration prioritizes voluntary reporting, explanation consistency, and exit cooperation. Panic-driven departure often worsens outcomes.
Decision Tree
- Voluntary visit: Possible fine reduction
- Attempt silent exit: Entry ban risk
- Ignore notices: Forced measures
Exact Action Plan
- Calculate exact overstay duration
- Visit immigration before booking flights
- Prepare reasoned explanation and documents
Professional Warning
Online advice often underestimates exit controls. Leaving without clearance is the most damaging mistake.
