On May 18th, 2020 of the Immigration Department, issued a Notice of “Automatic Extension of Temporary Residence” for foreigners. Accordingly, foreigners who enter the country on the basis of visa exemption or entry on e-visas or tourist visas from March 1st, 2020 are now “automatically extended temporary residence” until the end of June 30th, 2020.
