    ※ Required documents and procedures can be found at the link above.

    2. Alien Registration (takes more than 6 weeks to complete)

    A. You must be in Korea to proceed. Those who are abroad cannot utilize this service.

    B. International students CANNOT leave Korea until they have received their Alien Registration Card. Otherwise, they will have to re-apply for D-2 visa from the very beginning when they come back.

    C. Students must apply individually by visiting the Seoul Southern Immigration Office if they cannot use the group service above.

    ※ It is mandatory for all D-2 visa holders to apply for an Alien Registration Card within 90 days from their arrival date.

        If you exceed this period, you will have to pay fines (200,000~1,000,000 KRW) to the Immigration Office according to their Immigration Policy.

        You may also be held forcefully at the airport and not allowed to depart when you try to depart from Korea, so please apply for an ARC mandatorily!

     

    3. ARC Extension (takes more than 4 weeks to complete)

    A. You must be in Korea to proceed. Those who are abroad cannot utilize this service.

    B. This is only subject to those who already have an ARC from previous programs (Fall 2022, WAY) and need to extend their ARC.
