Soul Immigration: Alien Registration

This is for anyone looking for information on registering with immigration in Seoul. I wish someone had made a site like this for me, as it was a bit stressful figuring it all out. First, your school should give you all of the neccessary paperwork (School certificate or statement of employment), but you will also have to take with you the 10,000 won fee, a passport sized photo of yourself that was taken in the last 6 months, your passport, and your patience. The immigration office is located off of the purple line, #5, at the Omokkyo(or Omokgyo) station. Once you arrive there, look for exit number 7, as this is the one that puts you on the right side of the street. There is also an information board which tells you which exit from the terminal you are looking for, right as you are getting to the main swipe out area. If you have found the correct exit, you should go up some stairs, and will see a KIA Car Dealership on your right hand side. Keeping this building on your right, walk straight down the street. You are going to go for about 4 or 5 American city blocks, perhaps a half a mile, until you come to a major intersection. You will pass two or three smaller intersections before the big one, but you will know it is the big one, because you can not go straight any longer. You will veer towards the right, and take that street down for two or three more blocks. At this point, towards you left, you will see a huge grey building that says Seoul Immigration. You will have to cross katty-corner to get to it, but just keep it in your sights, and you will do fine. Once you get to the building, you will go in the main doors, and go down the stairs one level. Here is a waiting room, and you go in and there is a little shop kiosk. This is where you pay your 10,000 won to get a little stamp. Take this stamp back up the stairs to the original floor you came in on, and turn to your left. There will be a desk inside the doors you have to walk through, and you should fill out one of the papers made available there. Then, you go to the little ticket number machine, and press 1, this will give you your number for waiting. Kind of like at the DMV. Once you get up to a person, you will give them your paperwork from the school, the form you just filled out, your picture, and your passport. Don't be scared, they will keep your passport this time, but will give you a little receipt that says you have paid. They will ask you if you can come back to pick your registration card up, as it takes about 10 days to process. Tell them no, that they should mail it to you or to your school, whichever you prefer. This is much easier, and saves you an extra trip. Take your receipt and head on back the way you came. Good luck!
