it's the stop before Mokdong (Omokgyo, Line 5, Purple).

Take the exit that says "[something] tax office". Go straight and take the first left major intersection. Go straight for 10 mins and it's on your right, you can't miss it.

I'm pretty sure there's only one exit with "tax office" referred to so that should be fine. If not, apologies, forget the number.

Can't remember the requirements sadly.

It's on line 5, omokgyo station. There was a small sign near the exit. Follow the foreigners.

You need to bring:
1. Some passport photos
2. A copy of the school's business licence.
3. 30K.

If you plan on taking any trips out of Korea, might as well get your re-entry permit if you are an american.

Also pro tip. Be sure to get to immigration Early (like when the doors open) as otherwise you'll be in queue for hours.

Go to Omokyo station and get out exit 7.

Walk straight until you get to a 5-way intersection. Then turn right and walk until you reach a main road.

You will need to cross 2 times;

- cross the street to the left side (no crosswalk on the right side)
- cross the street again.

directly in front of you should be the Seoul Water Authority building and on your left should be the immigration building.

Enter the building and take a right- you will enter the foreigner entry point


On another note about immigrations

it is funny to know that they moved the chinese section to a completely different building in the vicinity.
