불법체류(초과체류) 위험과 대처

Your permitted period of stay has expired (or is about to), and you have not extended or changed your status — putting you at risk of fines, an entry ban and deportation.

빠른 답변: 체류기간을 초과하면 출입국관리법 위반으로 범칙금·입국금지·강제퇴거 대상이 됩니다. 이미 초과했다면 자진출국이 보통 가장 안전하며 처분이 완화됩니다.

한국 법의 내용

  1. ·Staying beyond your authorized period without an extension or status change is an illegal stay under the Immigration Act.
  2. ·Penalties include a monetary penalty (범칙금/과태료) that increases with the length of overstay, an entry ban (입국금지) commonly from about 1 year up to 10 years, and deportation (강제퇴거).
  3. ·Voluntary departure (자진출국) — reporting and leaving on your own — generally reduces the fine and shortens or waives the entry ban; some periods have special reduced-penalty programs.
  4. ·Being caught in a crackdown (단속) typically means detention at a foreigner detention centre, forced deportation, and a longer ban.
  5. ·You generally cannot extend or change your visa while overstayed — you must resolve the illegal-stay status first, so acting before expiry is far better.

요건

  1. ·This applies to anyone remaining in Korea past their authorized period of stay.

다음 할 일

  1. 1Check your stay-until date on your ARC / the e출입국 (HiKorea) system immediately.
  2. 2If it is about to expire, apply for an extension (체류기간 연장) via HiKorea at least a few weeks early.
  3. 3If already overstayed, consult the Immigration Office (1345) or an immigration attorney / 행정사 about voluntary departure vs. any regularization option.
  4. 4Register for voluntary departure (자진출국) to get the reduced fine and shorter ban.
  5. 5Do not work illegally, and keep any evidence that you did not.

준비 서류

Passport.Alien Registration Card (ARC).Entry stamp / arrival record.Any extension or appointment confirmation.

접수처·문의

Immigration Office (출입국·외국인청/사무소); HiKorea (hikorea.go.kr); Immigration Contact Center 1345.

기한

Act BEFORE your stay expires — extensions must be filed before the end date. If already overstayed, the sooner you leave voluntarily, the smaller the penalty.

흔한 실수

  1. ·Waiting until after expiry to “sort it out”.
  2. ·Working while overstayed (adds a separate, serious violation).
  3. ·Believing an entry ban is permanent — it is usually time-limited and shorter with voluntary departure.
