So I know I need to report a change of address and that I have 14 days to do it.

Problem is, my boss isn't completely on the ball. What does it take to report this change of address? Do I need to go to the office? Does it cost anything? What are the penalties for being late? I work during the day so it's hard to make it to the immigration office during business hours without my school's consent.

Your school should accept the need for you to do that. For Koreans its 2nd nature to report changes of address.

Depending on where you are, a gu-office or city hall has a desk just for that. You can also do it at Immigration. Quick, free, & easy. ARC & new address is all you need.

Theoretically you're subject to a fine if you dont register in time but if you're a bit late the officials tend to shrug it off. (But no guarantees on that.)

do you need some kind of proof as to when you moved?

I`m way over the 2 week deadline.

Is it just a case of filling in a form with your new address and that`s it? No questions asked?

Yeah, I was way over too. Nobody asked. The only time it would be a problem is when you go to renew your visa. So do it before then.
