FAQ

Q: Can I fly into Korea even with an entry ban?

A: No. Entry bans are registered in the immigration database and you will be denied entry at the port of entry. Attempting to enter with a ban may result in a longer ban period.

Q: Can my entry ban be removed early?

A: Yes, in many cases. You must submit an official application to the Korean Immigration Service with supporting documents. VISAS KOREA can prepare and submit this on your behalf.

Q: How long does ban removal take?

A: Typically 3–6 months. Some urgent cases (medical, family emergency) can be expedited. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
