|
|
Does anyone know if any immigration offices are open on Saturdays? Mok-Dong would be best, but any will do. I have long work days while kids are on break and I need to pick up my passport and ARC.
Thanks in advance |

I know the one in Daejon is not open on Saturdays. We asked last visit. It would be nice if I did not have to take time off and rush to get there before 6pm weekdays. |

When did that change. They used to half-days on Saturday. At least they did about a year ago. |

My God!!! if you cannot take a couple of hours to get your passport and ARC,,,you need to find a different employer. What will happen if immigration catches you on the street with no ARC? It's the law that you have to have it on you.  |

Regional immigration offices are CLOSED on the weekends. They are open for service Monday to Friday 9am - 4:pm (maybe 4:30).
The airport office is open 6am - 9pm / 365 days. |

Immigration has never stopped me on the street and asked for my ARC though. |

I was stopped once at the bus stop in Suwon. My wife has been stopped twice. They are pretty discreet when they ask to see your ARC. I thought the guy was trying to sell me something when he showed me his immigration badge.  |

5 years here and the wife and I have never been asked. Maybe cause we don't use or hang around the subways? |
