The Embassy of the Philippines in Seoul informs the Filipino community in South Korea that the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has recently announced a new special voluntary departure program for foreign nationals who no longer have any legal status to remain in Korea.

According to the MOJ, beginning 30 September 2024, foreign nationals illegally staying in South Korea who will voluntarily depart on or before 30 November 2024 will be granted a fine exemption and suspension of re-entry restrictions.

For more details on the program, please see the attached information sheet provided by the MOJ. Applicants may also contact the Immigration Contact Center by dialing 1345 and choose Filipino among the foreign languages available, or visit the HiKorea (http://www.hikorea.go.kr) and Korea Immigration Service (http://www.immigration.go.kr) websites.
