What is Temporary Detention and Release?
Under Article 51 of the Immigration Control Act, âtemporary detentionâ refers to the administrative custody of a foreign national who:
- is subject to deportation,
- has overstayed their visa, or
- entered Korea illegally.
Such individuals may be detained at an immigration detention center until deportation is carried out.
Release from temporary detention refers to a legal procedure in which the detention is lifted due to:
- humanitarian concerns,
- legal reasons, or
- lack of necessity for continued detention.
ð¹ Grounds for Release from Temporary Detention
A foreign national may be released from detention under the following conditions:
- Deportation is not possible or will be significantly delayed.
- Humanitarian grounds such as serious illness, childbirth, or care for a young child.
- Pending refugee application or human rights proceedings.
- The individual is willing and able to depart voluntarily.
- The Minister of Justice determines that continued detention is unnecessary.
ð¹ Who May Apply?
- The detained foreign national may apply directly.
- A representative or legal guardian (e.g., attorney or licensed immigration specialist) may also apply on their behalf.
ð¹ Procedure for Release
- Submit a written application for release to the competent Immigration Office or detention center.
- Include supporting documentation (see below).
- The immigration authorities review the case and determine whether to approve the release.
- If approved, a release decision notice is issued and the person is immediately released.
ð¹ Required Documents
| Document | Notes |
|---|---|
| Application for Release from Detention | Mandatory |
| Proof of humanitarian grounds | Medical certificate, childbirth record, etc. |
| Voluntary departure plan (if applicable) | Flight ticket, travel plan, etc. |
| Guarantee letter and ID of guarantor | If required by the Immigration Office |
| Other supporting documents | Refugee application, human rights complaint, etc. |
ð¹ Post-Release Obligations
- Release does not cancel the deportation order.
- The individual must depart Korea or adjust their status (e.g., apply for a visa) as instructed.
- If the terms of release are violated, the person may be detained again.
Conclusion
Release from temporary detention under the Immigration Control Act is an administrative relief based on humanitarian reasons, unfeasibility of deportation, or voluntary cooperation.
Since each case is evaluated on its individual merits and supporting evidence, and immigration decisions can be complex, it is strongly recommended to seek help from a licensed immigration lawyer or administrative agent for the application process.
