The short answer

Use HiKorea and your university's international office to confirm the current procedure, appointment route and documents for your status and address.

Who this is for

Students beginning a long-term stay in Korea

Follow these steps

  1. Confirm the current process on HiKorea.
  2. Check whether your university offers group support.
  3. Keep submission and follow-up records until the card is issued.

If something goes wrong

  • No appointment is available — monitor HiKorea and ask about university group filing.
  • The residence card is delayed — keep the receipt and follow up with the responsible office.
  • Additional documents were requested — record the required format and deadline exactly.
