Please Note: This information does not apply to Korean passport holders, or multiple-entry D-2-6/8 visa holders.
You are not allowed to depart Korea before you receive your FRC.
When you travel out of Korea during the semester for a short period after you receive your FRC, you must bring your FRC with you to maintain your D-2-6 or D-2-8 visa for re-entry to Korea.
If you leave without foreigner registration and issuance of FRC, your visa will be expired regardless of your permitted stay and you may not be able to re-enter Korea or you may need to re-issue your visa.
For updates about the re-entry, please visit the Ministry of Justice Korea Immigration Service website: https://www.immigration.go.kr/immigration_eng/index.do.
