Is there any trick to successfully registering on HiKorea?

I'd like to make an online reservation for Suwon Immigration, but every time I hit confirm after entering all my information to register on the site the page just stops mid-load.

Same on Mozilla, Chrome and IE.

No error message, it just doesn't follow through loading the next step.

Anyone successfully troubleshoot this previously?

I think some people recommend registering through the Korean side. I forget if I registered, which was a long time ago, on the English side.

Thanks for the input. I tried through the Korean side after you suggested it but still the same problem.

At Suwon Immigration today and JESUS MARY MOTHER OF A @#)_&*@()#*%&)(*&%^ that place is a clusterfuck.

I was there at 9:30am, 300 people ahead of me says the ticket machine. I go back 2 hours later and they've only seen 39 people.

Security guard guy says I might get seen sometime after 5pm.

What in the ever-loving...

So I'm trying whatever contact info I can to get someone to help me get in the HiKorea system.

Oh, and it appears to contact HiKorea's support / customer service you need to Login.

Which doesn't help someone...WHO IS UNABLE TO REGISTER.

I was at Suwon Immigration yesterday. That place is ridiculous. Every time I attempt to register for HiKorea, it tells me that "name must be English." Funny, because I thought my name was English, but thankfully a shitty Korean government website set me straight on that.

What I did instead was got the bossman (Korean) to make an appointment, and then we both went. Took me 5 minutes. I hope you can find a boss, schoolmate, workmate, or drinking buddy that is Korean and can go with you for 5 minutes. That's the only way I know to beat this system.

Unfortunately I've finished my contract and just trying to switch to D10.

So it would be a four-hr round trip for my former co-workers on a work day for someone they don't even work with.

And the website won't accept my registry no matter who tries.

Shit Creek is my home as far as Immigration is concerned.

This is Korea...why would they want to make it easy? I was trying to do the same process but the same results keep showing up.
