This is a guide for fines and fines for foreigners residing in Korea under the Immigration Control Act, who have illegally stayed beyond their period of stay, and who have stayed outside the scope of their permitted visa status (such as illegal employment of unemployable visas). Currently, the period for voluntary departure is exempted, but the deadline for voluntary departure will soon expire.
From June 30 onwards, the system of voluntary immigration for illegal immigrants will end.
The benefits given to illegal immigrants who report on their own and leave the country will disappear after June 30th. In other words, if you leave Japan before June 30, you will be exempted from the penalty for illegal immigration that violates the Immigration Control Act, but you must pay the penalty after June 30. The amount of the fine is summarized in the table below.
If there is no current flight ticket due to the current corona situation, the report can be departed as soon as possible after June 30th, and the flight ticket can be departed as soon as possible. In this case, you must submit a pledge of self-departure.
If you voluntarily leave the country after you report voluntarily, you will be given the opportunity to re-enter the country after leaving Japan even if there is an illegal law. In order to receive such benefits, you must file a voluntary notification before June 30th. However, it is expected that it will be very difficult to re-enter Korea if you leave Japan illegally on June 30th.
The law stipulates this.
However, the amount is subject to adjustment through a criminal review for each applicable issue.
The amount in the table below is a fine. Penalties are imposed after the screening process in the immigration screening process, apart from the fact that the fine is written next to it. If the fine is notified, this fine will not be issued. However, fines are imposed and are also subject to deportation.
For reference, the table below summarizes the provisions of criminal penalties for illegal immigration under the Immigration Control Act.
