Visited the Korean consulate today. They wouldn’t do the A-3 visa without the DoD ID, but they are giving me an A-2, which is good for 90 days. I should have my official passport and the correct visa by the time that my A-2 visa expires.
So, it looks my fears of playing the role of Tom Hanks in “The Terminal” are alleviated.
Now it is just counting down the days.
