I am from Myanmar and I will go to Mongolia to attend AMCDRR 2018. I will depart from Yangon at 11:30 pm on June 30, 2018 and arrive in South Korea at 7:30 am on July 1. I will have a layover of about 13 hours in South Korea. Do I need a visa to go out of the airport during my layover?



Best Answer

According to the maintained Wikipedia page on the visa policy of South Korea you only can get a visa-free entry on your passport if it's a non-ordinary (eg diplomatic) passport.

VisaHQ also confirms you'd need a visa to enter the country.
