The Seoul Immigration Office begins operations at its new premises in Munjeong-dong, Songpa-gu, on October 19, 2026. From that date, services will no longer be provided at the former Mok-dong office.<\/p>\n

If you are preparing for foreign resident registration, an extension of stay, or a domestic residence report as an overseas Korean, check not only the new address but also the office, date, and service counter shown in your appointment details. If you applied for a residence card before the move and have not yet received it, you should also confirm where to collect it.<\/p>\n

This article summarizes the practical points to check before visiting the new office.<\/p>\n

2. A Change of Location Does Not Itself Mean a Change in Immigration Rules<\/h2>\n

The confirmed changes primarily concern the location of services and the arrangement of counters. Residence-related service counters previously divided between the first and third floors will be consolidated on the first floor of the new building. News reports also identify this consolidation as a key change.<\/p>\n

The relocation alone does not mean that visa requirements, extension-of-stay criteria, or required documents have changed. Check the guidance for your particular immigration status and application type separately.<\/p>\n
