Busan - Clearance
This is a Port of Entry.
See the South Korea/Formalities page for full details.
It is compulsory to call port control on VHF Channel 16 or 12 and request permission to enter the harbor. If the call is not acknowledged, the vessel should be brought alongside the Navy barge moored close to the harbor entrance. The yacht may be searched here and firearms must be declared.
Although foreign yachts are supposed to employ the services of a local agent to deal with all formalities, this rule is not strictly applied and one can carry out the clearing formalities oneself. This entails visits to Customs, Immigration and the Port Authority, all of which are located within the port compound.
When leaving the harbor, it is necessary to stop again at the Navy barge and hand in the clearance papers. A copy will be retained, but the originals should be kept, as clearance will have to be shown at the next port of call.
