Schritt-für-Schritt-Prozess
Enter Korea on your long-term visa
After arriving in Korea on a D, E, F, or H-series visa, note your entry date in your passport. Your 90-day ARC registration window starts from this date.
Prepare your documents
Standard documents for ARC registration: passport (original), completed application form (별지 제34호 서식 — available at the immigration office or downloadable from HiKorea), passport-sized photo (3.5cm × 4.5cm, white background, taken within the last 6 months), and the registration fee (₩35,000). Some visa types require additional documents — for example, E-2 applicants need a health certificate (건강진단서) from a designated hospital; D-2 students need an enrollment certificate.
Visit the nearest immigration office
Go to the immigration office (출입국·외국인청 or 사무소) that covers your area of residence. Bring all documents. You can book an appointment in advance via HiKorea (strongly recommended — walk-in queues can be 2–4 hours). At the counter, submit your application and pay the ₩35,000 fee.
Receive your ARC
For most visa types, the ARC is not issued on the spot — it is mailed to your registered Korean address within 2–3 weeks, or you can elect to pick it up at the immigration office. You will receive a receipt (접수증) immediately, which serves as temporary proof of your registered status while you wait for the card.
Register your address (전입신고)
Separate from ARC registration, you should also register your actual address at the local district office (동 주민센터) or online via the Government24 portal. While the immigration office records your address, the district office registration (전입신고) ties you into local administrative systems (health insurance enrollment, tax residency, etc.).
Tipps von 행정사
The ARC registration number (외국인등록번호) is essential — memorise it or keep a copy. You will need it constantly in Korea.
For E-2 English teachers: your school must submit a health examination result from a designated Korean hospital before your ARC can be issued. Schedule this exam in your first week.
If your medical paperwork includes a document that must stay sealed, do not open the hospital envelope before submission.
Keep a photo of your ARC on your phone as backup — many services accept the digital copy for quick verification.
If your passport expires while you are in Korea, get a new passport from your embassy and update your ARC at the immigration office within 14 days.
HiKorea (hikorea.go.kr) allows you to check your ARC status, renew online, and update your address without an in-person visit for many tasks.
