Q3. I want to go back to my home country and see my parents and friends. Do I need to report this separately when I leave the country?

- If you are enrolled in school, you can go and come back as much as you want if you re-enter Korea within 1 year! However, if you leave the country for more than 1 year and re-enter within 2 years, you must obtain a multiple re-entry permit and pay a re-entry permit fee! (Please inquire about leave of absence as each school is different.)
