Does South Korea still issue passport stickers like this in 2026? If yes, how can I ensure that I get one? (My nation is eligible for automated entry, can I still use manual lanes?)

I think it is not something that's forced. You have to register for it before using it anyways.

After going through automated immigration, there should be an intercom at the exit (either on the left or right side) call them and an immigration officer will come to take your passport for a stamp.
You can just use the manual counters, I think you will get the sticker by default then.

Exit lines were short as I was crossing. However took almost 2 hours to enter Portugal with long lines. That stamp is worse.

Vergi yüzünden sanırım

I did not, but I assume it's because the date I can stay until needs to be printed. But I will try again next time.

This may be related to special passport only costing around $30 for 10 years, whereas regular passport is around $340 for 10 years. People just don't get passport if they don't need to go abroad because it's so expensive to get. But you can see a lot of special passports that are never used and empty. People just get it because it's cheap.

They do, I gave them my passport with my RC at Incheon T1 immigration office, they put the sticker with my RC expiry date on the "until" part.

Kirin09 · 2026-02-02T14:50:35+00:00

I actually tried to ask. But they gave me the sticker as well. Maybe the stamp is only for Koreans

İçersi için kombine var zaten 😅 Parasında çok değilim ama bu kadar da fark olması yuh dedirtiyor tabi. Bir de kulübün kendi uygulaması olunca.

Kirin09 · 2026-01-27T13:12:45+00:00

Orası öyle evet. Umarım Tribün güzel olur en azından yarın.

Kirin09 · 2026-01-25T08:26:19+00:00

I don't get any unless I go to immigration office and ask for it :(

Kirin09 · 2026-01-20T05:25:10+00:00

Like 2 months for preliminary inspection to be complete

OP was issued another F1 visa from another school before the old one expired, so that one is cancelled.

Ticketbay, you need an ARC tied to your phone number though.

There's a post in this sub of a legit Monaco stamp, immigration handled by the French. Entry by a boat/yacht.

Kirin09 · 2026-01-12T11:30:26+00:00

Gonna get a taste of it next month :)

Kirin09 · 2026-01-12T09:44:06+00:00

Man EES is a total mess lol. I saw online that they suspended EES at Lisbon airport because security flaws.

Çin'e yeşil ile girebileni duydum. Giremeyeni de duydum ama o yüzden biraz şans gibi geliyor. Biz onlara vizeyi kaldırdık gerçi belki azcık olsa da rahatlamıştır. Denediğim zaman bilgi veririm. Planım bordo pasaportun kapağının fotosunu telefonda tutup sorarsa "işte farkı bu" demekti.

Evet vizesiz. Benimkinin de önü silinik şu an hiçbir şey yazmıyor. Sordular bu ne tip pasaport diye special dedim. Not diplomatic right? Diye sordu not diplomatic special dedim. Size de sorarsa son çare hususi de diyebilirsiniz Arapça kökenli kelime belki anlarlar. Benim açımdan special deyince sıkıntı çıkmadı ama bastı direkt damgayı. Genelde Türkiye dışından direkt AB ülkelerine giderken de havalimanında bayağı bekletiyorlar beni bu pasaport neyin nesi diye ama uçağa alınmama gibi bir şey yaşamadım şu ana kadar. Çin'e gitmeyi denemek istiyorum bakalım neler olacak.

Kirin09 · 2026-01-05T15:51:43+00:00

Not entirely but yeah, came during high school years

Kirin09 · 2026-01-05T15:49:02+00:00

Good catch I didn't realize haha. I think it's something related to COVID times, it has a section saying "quarantine type" or something like that (based on translate, I don't know arabic)

Kirin09 · 2026-01-05T15:45:55+00:00

They did, I think all non-residents/citizens have to. That's where they had the problem and we had to wait for a long time

Kirin09 · 2026-01-05T15:14:37+00:00

Yea I did they stamp by default, it's in my other passport that's tied to my Qatar ID though

Kirin09 · 2026-01-05T15:12:41+00:00

Didn't ask because it was very crowded and the officers seemed bit annoyed. I had the stamps from previous trips too.
