Korean government’s special humanitarian measure for Myanmars in the Republic of Korea
The Korean Ministry of Justice implemented special humanitarian measures to allow Myanmar nationals residing legally in the Republic of Korea to extend their stay until the situation stabilizes in Myanmar. Myanmar nationals who are not able to extend their existing visas can stay under temporary status. Myanmar nationals whose visa has expired will not be forced to leave and will be allowed to depart voluntarily after the situation eases in Myanmar. Please kindly note that UNHCR is not responsible for this measure. For more information on this measure and possible temporary permit, please contact the Immigration Contact Center (dial 1345) operated by the Korean Ministry of Justice.
