Korean citizens can stay in France for up to 90 days without a visa, but if they plan to stay longer than 90 days or work or study in France, they will need to obtain a visa. There are several types of visas available depending on the purpose of the visit, and Korean citizens must apply at the French embassy or consulate in Korea. To extend their stay beyond the 90-day limit, Koreans must apply for an extension before the initial period expires and meet certain conditions, such as having sufficient financial means and health insurance. Overstaying can result in penalties such as fines, deportation or being banned from entering the Schengen Area.
