Can or Cannot Foreigners Use the Smart Entry System?

Hello everyone, we are the Immigrant Mentor Group. I am Carlos Gorito from Brazil.
I am Ding Lan from China.
I am Catherine from France.
And I am Jamshiddin from Uzbekistan.
As foreigners successfully integrated into Korea, the Immigrant Mentor Group shares their unique stories of adapting to life in Korea,
runs campaign and community activities, and seeks ways to live together harmoniously in Korea.
What brought them to the Smart Entry System (SES) at the Incheon International Airport?
Why does the Immigrant Mentor Group visit the Incheon International Airport twice in just a week?
As you can tell, we just visited the Incheon International Airport a few days ago.
There, we promoted the Smart Entry System (SES) while handing out pamphlets, together with the Minister of Justice.
I’m married, but every time I arrive in Korea, my wife and I have to be separated because I use an immigration lane for foreign nationals and she lines up for a lane for Korean passport holders.
It was truly heartbreaking. But now, foreigners who are registered can also use entry lane for Korean passport holders.
Is it only available to marriage immigrants?
Overseas Koreans, permanent residents (F-5 visa holders), and marriage immigrants can use entry lane for Korean passport holders.
That means these foreign nationals can use the entry lane for Korean passport holders together with Korean nationals, right?
Right.
And there is another immigration system that I like even more, and it is an automated immigration gate called the SES (Smart Entry System).
ta-da
What just went by?
NG! Back to the start!
Have you ever used the SES before?
Yes, I’ve used it a lot. I have done prior registration a few years ago and have been using it ever since, but now it is available without prior registration.
Who is eligible to use the SES?
Foreigners who are registered or have reported domestic residence can use it.
Is it open to everyone who is eligible?
It is a bit different for children.
Both Korean nationals and registered foreigners aged 7 to under 17 must register for the system prior to the use.
Is it also available to foreign visitors with a short-term visa?
Of course, foreign visitors are required to provide their biometric information, such as fingerprints and facial image at an immigration counter upon arrival in Korea. This information allows them to use the system when they depart.
Then, why do many foreigners not use the SES that much?
I think most of them still aren’t aware of the system.
Now we know, let’s use the system when departing!
I asked how long it typically takes to use the SES on average, and the answer was just a few seconds.
It is like driving through a toll gate on a Hi-pass lane on highways.
Place passport onto the reader
Press your finger on the scanner
Exit the gate
That’s it.
I hope more and more foreigners learn about the system and use it.
The Immigration Mentor Group and the official Youtube channel of the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) will do our promotion more often!
Thank you so much for your interests in using the SES.
And we have one more thing to ask you to stay tuned.
