3 views 0 Likes 0 CommentsJul 4, 2026
A practical reminder for registered foreign residents after moving to a new address in Korea.
Registered foreign residents generally need to report a change of residence within the required deadline after moving. Keep proof of the new address, such as a lease or residence confirmation document, and check whether you can report through Hi Korea, a local gu office, community service center, or immigration office. If your lease date and actual move date differ, ask the office how to document the situation before the deadline passes.
Key points
- Check your deadline immediately after moving.
- Prepare proof of address before visiting an office.
- Ask 1345 if you are unsure where to report.
Checklist
- Save your lease or residence proof.
- Check Hi Korea online options.
- Visit the office before the deadline if online reporting is not clear.
Warnings
- Late reporting can lead to fines.
- Local office rules may vary by status.
