Seoul - South Korea has revised its immigration rules to impose a lifetime ban on convicted foreign sex offenders and has already deported two people accordingly, a news report said on Sunday.

The justice ministry revised the rules last month so as to deport foreigners who have committed sex offences in South Korea or elsewhere, Yonhap news agency said, citing a ministry official.
