NOTICE ON THE CLOSE OF DAY-TRIP IMMIGRATION SERVICE AT ANDONG CITY HALL

Since the year of 2009, Daegu Immigration Office has run its 1-day trip immigration service at Andong City Hall for the convenience of Gyeongbuk-based foreigners.  However, as the number of foreign residents is rapidly growing under the its jurisdictional areas, most of on-site applicants are facing long waiting lines on a daily basis which becomes one of major complaint issues at Daegu Immigration Office. Against this backdrop, Daegu Immigration Office announces the close of day-trip immigration service at Andong City Hall from January 2020, considering more efficient management of the Office. Daegu Immigration Office asks for warm understanding in this measure from Andong residents.

In order to mitigate the inconvenience caused by this measure, we would like to introduce the two following immigration services:

□  Online reservation system

Applicants can easily reserve visit via HIKOREA website(www.hikorea.go.kr). If you use an appointment reservation system, you can set available dates that suit your schedule.

□  E-application service

For 21 types of applications, the process can be completed online at HIKOREA website after registration. Online applicants receive a 20% discount on fees, making this method the most convenient and cost-effective for use anywhere, even from the comfort of home.
