If I work in Bundang-gu what immigration office do I go to?
or does it go by where you live? I work in Bundang-gu but I live in Suji-gu....

It goes by where you live (unless you listed your school as your residential address).
Bundang goes to the main Seoul immigration office (but they used to come to seongnam city hall once a month) and I think Suji goes to the suwon immigration office.
You can find out for sure on the kimmi website ( http://www.immigration.go.kr ) or by calling them 1350.

Luckily? Are you on dope???
IMO, Suwon immigration is the worst - the lines take forever, appointments have to be made weeks in advance, and even when you do have an appointment, they work slower than molasses in winter.
Seoul immigration on the other hand... never had an appointment and at most, I spent ten minutes at the office, INCLUDING waiting.
Suwon immigration, IMO, is horrible.
iselynjenniep, is this city hall immigration office always available? |

I had a similar experience with the Suwon Immigration Office until they moved. They are in Young Tong Dong now, and the lines move so quickly. I have never waited long. It's only a ten minute walk from 경희대 정문 bus stop for 5500-1 or 7007-1
edited for wrong university name haha Gyeong Hee Dae, not Gyeong Gi Dae... |
