What is Double Entry Korea Visa and who is it for?
A Double Entry Visa allows travellers to visit South Korea twice within its validity period for purposes such as official government activities, tourism, social and cultural events, sports, business, commercial activities, family visits, journalism, or transit. This visa does not permit paid employment.
The visa is issued for 180 days, with each stay limited to less than 90 days. Once the two permitted entries have been used or the traveller departs from South Korea, the visa automatically becomes invalid—even if its validity period has not yet expired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit other areas besides the mainland in South Korea if I already obtained a South Korean Double-Entry Visa?
Yes, if you hold a valid Double-Entry Visa for South Korea, you are allowed to travel beyond just the mainland, including Jeju Island and other administrative regions of the Republic of Korea. However, you still need a visa if you’re entering through mainland South Korea even if your final destination is a visa-free zone like Jeju.
As long as you hold an official Korean visa, your travel within the country is generally unrestricted, provided you stay within the allowed duration and comply with entry conditions.
Can I work in South Korea using a tourist visa?
No, you cannot work in South Korea using a tourist visa. The Korean visa policy strictly prohibits any form of employment under a tourist or short-term visit visa. To legally work in Korea, you must obtain a valid work visa corresponding to the type of employment and employer sponsorship.
For accurate and updated visa information, including job-related eligibility and required documents, it’s best to consult the Korea Visa Portal or trusted agencies like LMI Consultancy, which assist Indonesian citizens in understanding the application process and securing the correct visa for their needs to visit Korea for work, study, or business.
When can I enter South Korea the second time after leaving under a Double-Entry Visa?
If you hold a Double-Entry Visa for South Korea, you may re-enter the country any time within the visa’s validity period, as long as both entries are within the permitted timeframe and you haven’t exceeded your allowed stay for each entry. Always check the expiration date and entry validity printed on your visa before travelling again.
Who is eligible to apply for K-ETA to travel to South Korea?
Citizens from visa-waiver countries designated by the Republic of Korea may apply for a K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) instead of applying for a traditional visa. K-ETA is suitable for travellers who do not require a specific type of visa, such as a work visa or student visa, and simply wish to visit Korea for short-term tourism or business. However, visa holders currently residing in Indonesia must apply for the appropriate visa for South Korea, depending on their travel purpose.
Does South Korea offer a Visa Waiver Program?
Yes, South Korea has a Visa Waiver Program for selected nationalities, allowing travellers from certain countries to enter visa-free for a limited period. However, Indonesian citizens are not currently eligible for the visa waiver and must apply for the appropriate visa based on the purpose of their visit. Always verify your eligibility on the Korea Visa Portal or with assistance from trusted agencies like LMI Consultancy.
How can I check my tourist visa issuance?
To check whether your tourist visa has been issued, you can visit the Korea Visa Portal and enter your application details to view the status. Alternatively, you can contact the South Korean Embassy or Consulate General in Indonesia where you applied. Trusted agents such as LMI Consultancy can also assist in verifying the confirmation of visa issuance, helping you avoid delays or errors in your travel plans.
