It's normal to keep an ID in many buildings in Asia at the front desk while you're visiting. Why would they possible not 'return a passport'? What for?

- kurthr 4y agoWell to be fair, it's rarely your direct contacts who are the issue, but if you're working late (in Korea that means after midnight) and you need a signature from a senior manager (VP) to leave who is not available, and security will not return your documents without the signature (that would also include any non-Samsung phone/laptop etc) then you're stuck. If you have a flight from Incheon at 6am, then you need to leave at least 3 hours earlier (preferably 4) from Seoul (and more from Suwon). You need to start making A LOT of noise at about 2am or you won't leave until the next day. Interestingly, the only places that I've ever seen hold passports are Korean and Chinese mobile device and display Fabs. Not European or Japanese, and not laptop or IC Fabs... weird.
