2) A certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance, if applicable
A certificate for
Recognition of Visa Issuance is for facilitating visa issuance
processes. Korean missions abroad are issuing Korean visas,
when appropriate, in accordance with a certificate for Recognition
of Visa Issuance. A certificate for Recognition of Visa Issuance
is not equal to a Korean visa. Thus, if you arrive at ports
of entry in Korea without a Korean visa, you may be subject
to inadmissibility.
How to get issued:
Step 1: An inviter in Korea makes an application for a certificate
for Recognition of Visa Issuance to
a
local or district Immigration office having jurisdiction over
the place of his/her residence.
Step 2: A Korean inviter receives a certificate for Recognition
of Visa Issuance from an Immigration office
and sends it to his/her invitee overseas.
Step 3: The visa applicant submits a certificate for Recognition
of Visa Issuance to a Korean mission overseas,
along with other documents required, when applying for a visa.
