Overstaying in Korea is not a small administrative mistake. It creates an immigration violation record that can affect future visa applications, residence plans, and re-entry. The severity depends on how long the overstay lasts and whether you come forward voluntarily, but the safest approach is always to act immediately instead of hoping it will be overlooked.

申请前注意事项
要求可能因国籍、管辖出入境事务所及申请渠道而变化。提交前，请向 HiKorea、负责的韩国领事馆或持牌移民专业人士确认准确要求。
You are overstaying if you remain in Korea after your authorized stay period ends and you do not have a valid pending application or another legal basis to remain. This can happen because of a missed extension deadline, a refused change-of-status case, or simple misunderstanding of the date printed on the ARC or entry stamp.
Consequences can include monetary fines, a departure order, forced removal in more serious cases, and a re-entry ban that can last years depending on the facts. Even when the case is resolved by voluntary departure rather than forced enforcement, the violation can remain visible in your immigration history and make future Korean filings harder.
If you realize you have overstayed, contact the immigration office or get professional help immediately. Do not wait for a later appointment date without explaining the overstay. Voluntary disclosure usually leads to a better outcome than being discovered during enforcement, an employer report, or a later immigration filing.
Check whether you actually have a valid pending application before assuming you are overstaying.
Bring evidence showing why the overstay happened if there were medical, employer, or document problems beyond your control.
Do not buy a flight and disappear without checking whether immigration expects an exit procedure, fine payment, or formal order.

签证流程
外国人登录证 (ARC / 외국인등록증)
外国人登录证（ARC）是韩国向在韩停留91天及以上的外国人发放的官方身份证件。办理银行开户、手机签约和使用大多数公共服务时均需出示此证。
签证流程
HiKorea（하이코리아）
HiKorea（www.hikorea.go.kr）使用指南 — 在线申请签证延期、体留资格变更、外国人登录证续签的方法。处理时间：3-10个工作日。
签证流程
签证延期（체류기간 연장）
签证延期——韩国出入境法中正式称为"停留期间延长"（체류기간 연장）——允许外国人在当前签证或外国人登录证到期后继续合法留在韩国，无需出境。
签证流程
体留资格变更（체류자격 변경）
体留资格变更允许已在韩国的外国人在不出境的情况下从一种签证类别转换为另一种——例如，毕业并就业后从D-2留学签证变更为E-7特定活动签证。
How much is the fine for overstaying?
It depends on the length and circumstances of the overstay. The amount can rise sharply as the overstay gets longer, so the practical answer is to contact immigration right away rather than estimate the fine and wait.
Will I be banned from Korea?
Possibly. Short and promptly resolved cases may be treated more lightly, while long or deliberate overstays can lead to multi-year re-entry restrictions.
Is it better to turn myself in than to wait?
Usually yes. Voluntary disclosure generally produces a better result than being caught later, especially if you are otherwise cooperative and have a plausible explanation.
