Korea Visa Extension Guide
Can I apply for a Korean visa extension online?
Yes — many visa types can be extended online via HiKorea e-application (www.hikorea.go.kr). Online applications get a 20% fee discount and are processed without visiting an immigration office.
However, some visa types and cases are excluded from online application and require an in-person visit. Check availability for your visa on HiKorea or call 1345.
