I was caught with drugs, or tested positive. Will I be deported even for a small amount?

A Answer

Drug cases are among the most likely to end in removal, even for first-time, small-quantity use. Korea treats drug offenses strictly regardless of whether the substance is legal in your home country. Immigration may act even where the court imposes a suspended sentence. The realistic goal is often to minimize the sentence type and build strong mitigating evidence from the very start.
