The entry examination desk in Korea is divided into the entry examination desk for nationals and the entry examination desk for foreigners. When China citizens enter the country, they should queue up behind the waiting line in front of the immigration examination desk for foreigners. When they arrive, they should show the prepared materials to the examiners, including valid passports (sailors should show their passports and crew identity certificates) and entry registration cards. If the passports expire, the types of visas are inconsistent with the purpose of the visit, they will be refused entry.

When accepting the immigration review, you should put your mobile phone in vibration mode and take off your hat and sunglasses in advance. Through the examination desk, you can claim your luggage after passing through the customs gate metal detector, and then choose the customs passage.
