How Did We Do?
Welcome ... Before Coming to Kunsan
Here's some helpful tips to prepare you for coming to Korea.
Kunsan or gunsan?
Kunsan and Gunsan are the same words when written in Korean. However, Kunsan usually refers to the USAF base and Gunsan refers to the City that is about 8 miles northeast.
get a SPONSOR
We recommend you ask for a sponsor at least 90 days before you depart your present assignment. Contact the Intro monitor in the military personnel flight at your current base. The Intro program manager will help you get a sponsor. Once you receive your orders, forward a copy to your sponsor.
VISAS
All civilians and family members that are non-Korean citizens must ensure their passport contains a A-3 Visa. Passports without the A-3 Visa cannot receive the SOFA stamp.
SOFA Stamp. All civilians and family members that are non-Korean citizens must get a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) stamp within 90 days of arriving in country. After you arrive, the Airman & Family Readiness section can assist you with where to go to get a SOFA stamp.
