Korea Visa Extension Guide
Do I have to apply for the extension myself, or can someone else do it?
In principle, you must apply in person. However, for minors under 17, a parent, guardian, sibling, or personal reference can apply on their behalf.
If your visa type supports online application via HiKorea, applying with your own account is the most convenient option.
