I went to do the ARC and it should be finished but I left having told immigration I would pick up the card.

I now can't get away from school, I was wondering if its possible to figure out a way to send them a self addressed envelope.

Has anyone done this?

I have the Korean immigration confirmation receipt with their contact info but I don't know if they speak English.

I also don't know where to get an envelope and stamps so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm surprised your school won't let you collect it given it's such an important item. I don't understand why at least they won't have someone from the school collect it.

Anyway, you can call Immigration's English hotline if you can't find an adequate answer here.

Immigration 'helpline': In Korea, you can call 1345 (press 3 and then * for an English counsellor). No need to put in the area code, even from cell phones.

When you apply for the ARC you have 2 options:
1) personal service - pick it up yourself.
2) have it delivered by courier.

If you elected <1> when you applied then you will need to make a trip to your local immigration office to pick it up.

I too am surprised that your school (hagwon??) won't let you take the hour or two sometime during a business day (over lunch even) to make the trip to immigration and get it.
