Immigration Office Locations, Korea    

Some immigrations documents can be filed on-line at Minwon 24 or E-government for foreigners, at no charge. Note that both of these sites require that you download Active X.  For some, however, you must visit an immigration office in person. As of 2011, local government offices (Eup, Myeon, and Dong) can issue some immigration-related certificates. 

Immigration 'helpline': In Korea, you can call 1345 (press 3 and then * for an English counsellor). No need to put in the area code, even from cell phones.

Editor's Note: The information above is based on the information K4E has available at the time of writing. Given how difficult it is to obtain clear and complete information in Korea as well as how quickly rules can change, please see this as a guide and do follow-up with the appropriate Korean government bodies to confirm its accuracy and/or to get the most current answers. K4E would appreciate your feedback should you find out that our information is out-of-date.
