Also, if you are a service member, you must obtain a SOFA stamp for your child from the Korean Immigration office serving your area. If you do not arrange for the visa and SOFA stamp within 30 days, Korean Immigration may levy a fine that must be paid before the child can leave the country. Your child's visa or SOFA stamps are your responsibility. While the Embassy can provide some information about Korean visa regulations, we can not intervene with Immigration on your behalf. Military employees can contact the Administration Section of the 121st Hospital, their own Personnel Offices, or Army Community Services for assistance or information.
Special assistance is available for service members in Korea.
When the forms and documents are ready, bring them to the Embassy with the baby.
