Can anyone tell me the best way to get to uijeongbu as I have to sort out my ARC. In addition, does anyone know the opening hours tomorrow?

I live in goyang!

why would u go all the way there. There is immi at jeongbalsan across from lotte department store where u can settle ur arc stuff if im not mistaken. u may need a korean teacher to go with u to make it easier.

interesting.

I was told that the one in Jeongbalsan is only open on wednesdays?

I lived in ilsan (Madu) before and was told by another immigration office i could only use the Uijeongbu office for my ARC.....right pain in the ass taking the subway. I'm sure there's a bus from Ilsan but as a newbie at the time I didn't know.

Didn't even know there was an immigration office in jeongbalsan that dealt with this sort of thing

Get to Line 1, make sure you take the Ujeongbu train. It's about an hr past Seungbuk dong.

Don't bother going to Uijeongbu. Go to the employment office (across the street from the Rodeo City Officetel) at the end of La Festa. Yes, they only open on Wed, however if you live in Ilsan then this is really the best way. Otherwise you could goto Hwajeong bus station and get the bus to Uijeongbu

I don't get why they would decide Ilsan should travel forever to get to immigration in the Boo. Isn't it closer to go from Ilsan to Mokdong Immigration in Seoul?

I go to uijeongbu a lot.

Takes 30 min from Hoegi station and 45 min from Dongdaemun. An hour from Seoul city hall.
