My permanent residence card is expiring (just getting a new card)

영주증 재발급 (10년 갱신)

F-5 permanent residents whose 10-year card validity is coming up, and people who lost or damaged their card

An administrative agent can do this for you.
🔴 The permanent residence status itself does not go away, but the card has to be renewed every 10 years, and if you do not apply within the period you face a fine. Your status is not disappearing, so don't be afraid - just renew it.

Leave a question

Just leave one way to reach you. We check it, pass it to an administrative agent, and the agent contacts you directly.

We only take your request and pass it to an administrative agent. You pay us nothing.

The more you write, the faster the agent can answer you.

It does not have to be a Korean number. Choose the country in the box before this one, and write only the number here.

We do not check what you write, and we do not report it to anyone. We do not tell employers either.

The year and month you are allowed to stay until. Look for the period of stay on your ARC (foreigner ID card), not the card's issue date. It is fine if you are not sure.

The contract has to be signed face to face, so we ask where you live only to connect you with an agent near you.

More options Optional

What you write and your contact go only to the administrative agent handling this. We do not tell your employer. The agent tells you the cost directly.
