I want to buy a house or some land

부동산등기용 등록번호 부여 및 외국인 부동산 취득 신고

Foreigners and Korean nationals living abroad who are buying or inheriting property in Korea

Sometimes an agent can do this for you. Ask us and we will check.
🔴 Areas such as military installation protection zones and cultural heritage protection zones need permission before you sign, and a contract made without it is void. You have to file the acquisition report within the set period from the date the contract was signed, and filing late means a fine. Registration work overlaps with the field of judicial scriveners.
Scrivener's service fee
We'll tell you when we contact you
Where you file it
The city, county or district office (시·군·구청) for the registration number and the acquisition report; the Immigration Office (출입국·외국인청) for a registration number if you are not registered as a foreign resident
Papers you usually need
  • Application for a registration number for property registration (부동산등기용 등록번호 부여 신청서)
  • Passport
  • Alien Registration Card (외국인등록증), or Domestic Residence Report Card (거소신고증)
  • Sales contract
  • Report of land acquisition by a foreigner (외국인 토지취득 신고서)

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 doesn't have to be a Korean number. Pick the country, then type the number. The administrative agent will contact you on this number.

It's the first thing the administrative agent asks on the first call. Filling it in saves a call back.

We don't check what you write and we don't report it anywhere. It goes only to the agent who takes your question.

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.

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.
