Periods of Stay for registered aliens and Overseas Korean residents (F-4) are automatically extended to April 30, 2020 as described below, to stem the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID- 19) by minimizing unessential visits to Immigration Offices amid growing concerns over sustained community spread of the virus.

In this regard, using e-Application services at the HiKorea website (www.hikorea.go.kr) for Extension of Stay and other civil affairs is highly recommended to reduce in-person visits to jurisdictional immigration offices until the current situation is stabilized.

For further detailed information, call Immigration Contact Center at 1345 (with no area code).
