Caught Doing Delivery Work in Korea — What Is the Difference Between a Penalty Payment, Departure Order, and Deportation Order?

Foreign nationals caught doing unauthorized delivery work in Korea do not all receive the same immigration disposition. A penalty payment, departure order, and deportation order have different legal effects and procedures, and actual outcomes may vary depending on factors such as status of stay, duration of unauthorized work, stay circumstances, and prior statements. If Korean immigration authorities have already issued documents in your case, the first step is to identify the exact document, date of receipt, applicable deadline, and current procedural stage.

In third-party delivery account cases, immigration authorities may review the actual rider, account holder, payment flow, account-use fees, prior statements, and current procedural stage. If immigration has already contacted you, organizing your visa status, account details, settlement records, transfer history, and received documents is the first step.
