The Korean government will permit re-entry or shorten the period of entry ban for removable aliens if they willingly leave the country during a three-month grace period from next week to Oct. 10.

By law, non-Korean citizens who had resided in Korea less than a year beyond their residential permit are allowed back if they had voluntary left before removal order. Those staying from a year to three years beyond their visa cannot return for a year. The ban goes to two years against those who had stayed illegally beyond three years.

During the special grace period, those who had stayed five years or less will be allowed back in if they voluntarily leave. Those who had resided beyond five years can return a year after.

The goodwill will not go to smugglers and other criminals.

The Justice Ministry at the same time warned of strong crackdown together with policy across the nation on illegal aliens and will ban re-entry for the next five years on anyone caught for illegal stay.

Those offering to leave during the grace period should visit any immigration office with their passports and air tickets.
