Korean immigration offices, labor offices and embassies

Immigration offices and embassies

Where to go for your ARC, visa extensions, and consular help: immigration offices by region, plus embassies for the largest communities in Korea.

Book before you go. Most immigration services now require a HiKorea (하이코리아) online reservation; walking in without one usually means being turned away. For questions in your language, call the immigration call center at 1345. Which office is yours depends on your district, so confirm your jurisdiction on HiKorea before booking.
