Booking a visit to an immigration office

Most immigration offices work by appointment. Turning up without one can cost you a whole day, and slots fill quickly in busy seasons.

Who needs this

• Anyone who must visit an office for registration, extension or a status change

Steps

1. Sign in to HiKorea.
2. Open the visit reservation menu and pick the office for your address.
3. Choose the application type, date and time.
4. Keep the confirmation message.
5. Arrive 10–20 minutes early. Late arrivals can be cancelled.

What you need

• A HiKorea account
• Passport and Alien Registration Card details
• The documents for your application, on the day

Where to go

• HiKorea www.hikorea.go.kr → visit reservation
• 1345 Immigration Contact Center

Questions people ask

There are no slots. Cancellations appear, so check often. If your permit is about to expire, call 1345 and explain.

I can't make my appointment. Cancel it. Repeated no-shows can restrict your booking.

Take care

Brokers who charge to "get you a slot" exist. Booking is free.
