My alien card is ready for pick up at immigration, but due to my hours and distance from immigration I haven't been able to pick it up. Yeah, I should have requested that it be sent to me at my new school, but I didn't. Stupid, I know. But is there a time limit after which I can't pick it up? Can I wait a few weeks before going to pick it up? Seems like a stupid question, I know. But this being Korea, where immigration rules rarely confirm to what's logical or reasonable, I thought it best to ask.

Thanks in advance.
Smith.

I bet you could arrange by phone to have it mailed.

Took me 6 weeks to pick up my most recent one because I was always working when Immi was open - finally got a little time in the morning to go and get it. The option was there to have it mailed at the time I applied for it - having it mailed after the fact was complicated, because there's a charge for it. They didn't seem to care that it took that long, fwiw.

Same as above. I lost my card right before I left for Thailand and wasn't able to pick it up until I came back a month later. No rush it seems. At least not in Busan!
