Korean government’s special humanitarian measure for Iranians in the Republic of Korea 

The Korean Ministry of Justice announced a special humanitarian measure for Iranians living in Korea who are unable to return to their country. Iranians living in Korea with a valid visa will be allowed to stay and work in Korea until the situation in Ukraine stabilises. Please note that UNHCR is not responsible for this measure. For detailed information on this measure and possible extension of stay, please contact the Immigration Contact Centre (dial 1345) operated by the Korean Ministry of Justice.
