Long layover at Incheon international Airport

score:2

Accepted answer

You do not leave South Korea when flying from Jeju to Incheon Airport, so your entry stamp from arrival should still be valid.

With a 23 hour layover in your itinerary, one would assume that your flight from Jeju to Seoul is only a domestic flight, even if they do allow you to check your bags through to Cambodia. If by chance they offer you the option to clear immigration in Jeju, simply tell them you want to do immigration in Seoul.

Republic of Korea Visa portal1's B-2 visa requirement says... 2

Visa Free Entry for foreign transfer passengers

Eligibility

Besides the passengers for transit mentioned above, those transferring through the Incheon Airport and taking part in the Transit Tourism Program on their way to a third country or the country of their nationality (hereinafter referred to as "general transfer passengers")

Condition of Permission

General Transfer Passengers: Possessing a transfer ticket and staying in the Seoul Capital Area for up to 72 hours

Seoul Capital Area is usually Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi.

So you can legally stay in Korea for 72 hours. Note that It is (by definition) different from B-2-2 (Tourist / Transit (Jeju)) visa. Since Jeju Island is an autonomous province where they have more lax visa requirement, visa policy is bit different. Of course, best way to confirm is to check with Korea embassy in Cambodia.

1: Click "English" at the top, then "Short Term Visit", "Tourist / Transit (Jeju)". Link defaults to Korean website when I try to visit, but maybe because my IP is Korea.

2: I said visa, but you're still visa-free.
