Fines for Overstaying a Visa
Overstay period Fine (KRW)
Less than 3 months 100,000 - 500,000
Less than 1 year 500,000 - 2 million
Less than 2 years 2 million - 4 million
2 years or more 4 million - 20 million
It appears the thinking was that every three months is worth about 500,000 won, and that each year is worth about 2 million won, although there is substantial discretion for officers, particularly in the last, largest category. Like any order, a fine is subject to a court review if you are willing to expend the money and time.

I think you can write to immigration. They have QnA. I know my mate was banned for 10 years, but I think that was working here, not visiting.
Good day,
They have Amnesties sometimes. Consideration for special circumstances, but I think you will be run out of here for a while.

fisrt step go to your ambassy take one paper that could show you are not married in your country second step you have to go to city hall you and your boyfriend make marie papers registration third you have to go to immigration with your husband together and pay your fine but 3 years is too much better you go back with your husband and take marie visa in your country and comeback together before march 2019 it wouldnt be complicate
Hello. I've been overstaying for 4 months in Korea with tourist visa. As you know, there is an amnesty period until March 31. But according to the only info published on immigration website, there will be no entry regulations. There is no info such about paying fine. Do i have to pay any fine if i want to voluntarely leave within the amnesty period? And the amounts you posted are from August 2014, are there any changes on these?
