Hey guys -

I've always been to the immigration office at Omokgyo station, but I feel like the one in Jongno is closer to me.

I need to extend my ARC by one whole day.

I heard that only people living in certain areas can go to the Jongno office. Is this true? I live in Yongsan-gu (close to Itaewon). Can I go to the Jongno office to get this done, or do I have to go all the way out to Omokgyo?

Also, it says I should take exit 6 of Gyeongbokgung station, but that is all it says for directions. Can you see the building immediately upon exiting the station? Thanks for any help you guys can give me!

Bumping - does anyone know? Or know how to find out? I couldn't find a website.

It is in a building called the SK hub. The easiest way to get there is to go to Anguk station.

I just found an old thread about the topic here, scroll down and there is a map:

Basically the easiest way is to use Anguk exit 6, then turn around when you come out (so you are heading away from Insadong) then you will pass a police station on your right. The SK hub is just past that. There is a 7-11 (or some other convience store) on the ground floor. You need to go up to the second floor.

And I would recommend going early as otherwise it can be a long wait.

As for whether you can go there, Im not sure. Have you tried this site?

I remember seeing that information somewhere, I will keep looking.

Yeah, I've waited there for 2 hours. My number finally got called and then they told me I didnt have the right documents.

I went back the next day, taking what they told me to, I waited for 2 hours again, and then they told me I was missing something else. I almost started crying.

The next day I went right when it opened, and it took less than 10 minutes.
