국적상실신고는 외국국적을 취득한 시점에서 법적으로 대한민국 국적이 상실된 것을 사후에 호적에
정리하기 위한 절차입니다.
* 국적취득일부터 1 개월 이내에 재외공관(영사과) 또는 법무부(법무과)에 신고하여야 합니다.
(호적관서나 국내 각 출입국 관리사무소에서도 신고를 접수합니다.)
관련 정보는 여기에서 확인
! 단기 비자의 경우, 국적상실 접수증으로 비자 신청이 가능하나 F-4 비자는 신청 불가.

Why is there no Visa Sticker on my passport?
왜 여권에 사증스티커가 없나요?
The Republic of Korea does not issue visa stickers anymore.
The “Visa Grant Notice” certificate is your Entry Visa.
대한민국 정부는 더 이상 스티커 형태의 비자를 발행하지 않습니다.
사증발급확인서가 입국 비자입니다.
For short-term visas, you can stay in Korea up to 90 days from the date on entry in the country.
단기 비자의 경우, 입국일로부터 90 일 간 체류 가능.
How to read your VISA GRANT NOTICE
• Date of Issue ~ Validity Period of Visa:
The “Date of issue” is the date when your visa is issued – no customization/change possible.
The “Validity Period of Visa” is always 90 days starting from the date when your visa was issued (see Date of Issue). You must
enter Korea within the 90 days. Please plan your application accordingly and in consideration of the processing time: 2-4 weeks
from the date your application has been confirmed as complete.
• Period of Stay:
The “Period of Stay” indicates the period during which the applicant can stay in Korea from the date
of entry in the Republic of Korea. IF THE PERIOD OF STAY IS LONGER THAN 90 DAYS, you must
visit the IMMIGRATION OFFICE IN KOREA to get the ‘Alien Registration Card’ that will cover your
entire stay in the country.

> For all questions (extension of your visa, changing visa type, etc.) regarding Immigration Services after you have
entered Korea, please contact the Immigration Contact Center operated by the Ministry of Justice at +82-1345.
