Automated Immigration System-SES

DESCRIPTION
Automated Immigration System (aka. Smart Entry System*) clearance is an electronic passport and fingerprint reader that allows travelers to move more quickly and efficiently through customs and immigration questioning. Travelers may only need to scan their electronic passports and fingerprints at automated kiosks to clear immigration. In order to take advantage of this system, users must already have an Alien Registration Card and then register at a Registration Center (see list below).

PROCEDURES
After you have received your Alien Registration Card, you may register for the Smart Entry System. This will include a scan of your fingerprints and an electronic copy of your passport. Once the registration process is completed, you can use the electronic kiosks located near immigration when re-entering Korea. Registration is free of charge.
