I'm moving to the Itaewon area this weekend (near Hyatt Hotel).

Where am I required to report my address change? As far as I can tell, it's these three places:

1. Yongsan-gu Office, which is not far from Samgakji Station, if I remember correctly.

2. Immigration. Do I have to trek out to Omokyo with my ARC and passport?

3. The local tax office (National Tax Service). I can't find this online. Anyone know where it is?

Thanks.

Depends on your visa status.

E visa - report to immi

I'm an E-2. So are you saying that immigration is the only place that I have to go?

I've lived in Seoul for 6 years, if that has anything to do with it. About 4 years in my current location, south of the river.

Gu-office or immigration. Either works. The E2 advice above is faulty.

Your information isnt incorrect, its just incomplete. E2 holders can also register a change of address at their local gu-office (or in smaller towns at city hall) & its all same-same. They write your new address on your ARC & it goes into the data bank. Go with whatever's most convenient. No worries.

Does need to be done though.

Thanks, both of you.

My girlfriend (Korean) called Immigration yesterday. They said that I need to visit the Gu office only, within 14 days of the move. That's good news.

I would still like to know where the tax office is, though. Anyone know?
