Could immigration refuse me entry? I already stayed 5 months in 2023

Hello everyone,

I came to Busan in December 3, 2022 and stayed 87 days (90 days allowed). Then, I came back 44 days later in April 2023 and stayed 79 days.

I'm considering coming back to Busan before the end of September but I'm concerned the immigration could tell me I've already passed to much time in Korea in 2023. What do you think?

BTW, before December 2022, due to pandemic, my previous stay in Korea was January/February 2020.

Thank you in advance for sharing your advice or/and your experience.

If you're planning another visit before the end of September, you might want to consider obtaining a different type of visa or extension if you plan to stay longer than the allowed 90 days in any 180-day period or to get the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's advisable to contact the South Korean immigration authorities or visit their official website https://www.immigration.go.kr/immigration_eng/index.do

They can provide you with guidance on your specific situation and any potential visa options or restrictions.
