The Anguk station/Sejong immigration office is on the 2nd floor of this building, and people sit and wait for an average of 3 hours. They've got chairs in the halls, it's so busy. Nothing to do but sit and wait.

There's an open office space on the same floor. Someone should put a restaurant or PC Bang or something catering to foreigners (mostly Chinese and Russian).

Really?

I've never been in there longer than ten minutes.

Now the old Immi near Omokyo.... that was a hell of waiting with little to do nearby.

A year ago, when it first opened, Sejongno/Anguk was very quick. Now the wait is 3 hours plus. If you aren't there by 3pm, you don't get a number. They stop giving them out.

Here is a way to avoid the line ups. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!

I went to immigration twice and spent no longer than 20 minutes total to get my visa done.
