B-2 (관광통과 — tourist transit) is the visa-free entry status granted by the Korean Ministry of Justice to nationals of specific countries that Korea has designated for visa-free tourism and transit admission, independent of a bilateral treaty. Unlike B-1 (which derives from an explicit treaty), B-2 is a unilateral policy designation that Korea can adjust at any time. B-2 holders may engage in tourism and transit; the exact permitted stay is set per country by the Ministry. Paid employment and status changes inside Korea are generally not permitted.
Nationals of countries that the Korean Ministry of Justice has designated for visa-free tourism or transit admission. This list differs from the B-1 treaty list — check the current MoJ designation list if you are unsure which status applies to you.
