May I visit my fiancé while she’s in Kunsan? Can I stay with her on base, or live nearby the base for three weeks?

Also, I’ll be visiting South Korea in July. I was wondering what the or living arrangements might look like during my stay. 3 weeks. Would it be possible to marry while I’m there as well? I’m also military, NG. She’s an AD soldier. Thank you.

Getting married in Korea isn’t a quick process from what I saw with a couple in my unit had to do. They had to go to the embassy in Seoul to get married. Honestly I think it would be easier to get married with both of you in the states. Since you are not her dependent you will need to find a hotel to live in for three weeks.

When I was stationed in Kunsan years ago most of the units had unofficial visitors rooms in the dorms. Usually this was for use when your spouse or significant other came for a visit. Of course Temporary Lodging was also available but usually full up. Some nice hotels in Kunsan proper.

Many of your questions can be answered on the State Department web site. You can enter ROK on a tourist visa, but you’ll have a limited stay. Your fiancé may be able to arrange a marriage through the installation chaplain. If your fiancé lives in the barracks, you probably won’t be allowed to stay with her. If she lives on the economy you probably can stay with her. You should plan on staying in a hotel. The installation billeting office may be able to recommend local hotels.
