I live in Gangnam. Is the immigration office by Omokgyo station the only place to get a multiple entry visa (it's based on where you live, right)? My school got my ARC card for me so I've never needed to go... I wish I had done it myself so I could have got in then!

Is there any place closer?

I spent ages searching on here but it left me even more confused and I just want to know for sure, haha.

Thanks!

You can apply online at www.g4f.go.kr although I think you might need a credit card to do it there. Also there may be a way to do it in the airport before you leave. Call the immigration office or have someone call for you and ask though.

Multi-entry can be done online or at your local immigration office..
single entry can be done at the airport as well as on-line or your local immigration office.

Your local office is the one at Omokyo. Walk out exit 7. Go straight and do not turn. The road will CURVE to the right. Follow the curve. It will end in a T-intersection. Across the street you will see a water company. To the left of that you will see the immigration office. The sign is on the 6th floor and is about 3 meters tall so it is hard to miss.

Go in the main door and turn right. Take a number from the machine. Fill in an application. Go to the counter when your number is called. He will make sure the application is filled in correctly and send you downstairs to the cafeteria to get 50k won worth of stamps from the lady at the counter.

It will be completed in about 30 minutes after you get to the counter.

I have not done on on-line with the new website so I can't give you any advice there.

Hope that helped.

You guys are talking about getting the re-entry stamp in your passport, right?

Do you know if the office in the airport that does this is open on weekends?

Thanks.

The airport office is open 6am - 10pm, EVERYDAY - 7 days per week.

They are located down the hallway located behind theck-in counter "F" and along the back wall of the airport (before you go through security).
