| Feb 5, 2018 at 13:10 | comment | added | WGroleau | I went to the visa office of the Souh Korean mission in Taipei. Fellow there said it is OK to take a class during a ninety-day visa-free visit. But an e-mail from one of the missions in USA says that a class requires a visa. The e-mail didn't say anything about ninety days, but I definitely did in the question they were responding to. So I have two apparently opposite answers from two apparently qualified answerers. | |

| Dec 16, 2017 at 1:57 | comment | added | nbkhope | @WGroleau okay! Just thought it would work because I did study in Japan short-term using the 90-day visa. | |
| Dec 16, 2017 at 1:48 | comment | added | WGroleau | @nbkhope: The consulate says otherwise. Not going to chance it. Not logical, but it's the rule, apparently. Taiwan, same rule. Besides, the no-paperwork option is not a visa, it's a visa exemption. | |

| Nov 9, 2017 at 21:17 | comment | added | WGroleau | I am still interested in the actual visa policy, but the newer question is about exactly what it says: whether "volunteering" is really volunteering in the law when you get something for it. When I wrote this, I was looking at a paid scheduled class in Seoul. The hostel I found later is quite a bit different. | |
| Nov 9, 2017 at 21:10 | comment | added | martin.koeberl | So is this question now the same as the other one (namely whether you need a visa to attend the "school")? If so, you should do something about it. | |
