🔔Visa Extension Refused — What Should You Do If Your Stay Is About to Expire?
Recently, we received an urgent call from a foreign family living in Korea.
The wife had received a Notice of Refusal of Stay Extension, and her stay was about to expire.
They were raising a young child in Korea, so simply leaving Korea immediately was not an easy situation for the family.
More importantly, there were only a few days left before the expiration date.
We had to act quickly.
First, we helped the client request access to the immigration records.
The refusal notice only gave a brief explanation, so we needed to check the actual examination records to understand why the extension had been refused and what issues needed to be addressed.
After reviewing the records and supporting documents, we prepared an Administrative Appeal against the refusal.
Once the appeal was filed, we obtained the filing documents and prepared the evidence needed for a Departure Deadline Extension Request.
Then, we went to Yangju Immigration Office early in the morning with the client and the necessary documents.
This was a same-day expiration case, and the client was also accompanied by a young child.
After waiting at the immigration office, we submitted the application together with:
• Administrative Appeal filing documents
• Notice of Stay Extension Refusal
• Housing lease documents
• Proof of accommodation
• Other supporting documents
The result?
The client received a 3-month departure deadline extension on the spot.
This gave the family additional legal stay time while the administrative appeal was being processed.
Of course, filing an administrative appeal does not automatically guarantee approval, and the extension period is determined by the immigration office based on the individual circumstances.
But when your stay is about to expire, waiting can make your options disappear very quickly.
If you have received a visa extension refusal, especially if your expiration date is only a few days away, please contact us as soon as possible.
Send us a photo of your refusal notice and Residence Card (ARC) first.
We can check your situation and explain what options may be available.
