For visa applications submitted at a Korean embassy or consulate overseas, the fee is charged in local currency at the diplomatic mission (the KRW equivalent varies by country). Overseas visa fees are set by the embassy and may differ from in-country immigration office fees.
Payment methods:
• At immigration offices: cash (현금) or credit/debit card (카드)
• Via HiKorea online (hikorea.go.kr): online payment by card for certain services
• Do NOT bring cash only — immigration offices typically accept cards, but having cash as backup is advisable for smaller fees
Exemptions and discounts:
Certain categories are fully or partially exempt from immigration fees:
• A-1, A-2, A-3 (diplomatic/official): Exempt from most fees
• Refugees recognized under the Refugee Act: Reduced or waived fees for ARC and status-related services
• Children under specific age thresholds: May be exempt from ARC fees in certain family-accompanying situations
• SOFA status holders (US military / government): Fees handled under the SOFA framework
No-refund policy: Immigration fees are non-refundable once an application is submitted, regardless of the outcome. Ensure all documents are correct before paying.
Many immigration services can now be initiated and paid for online through the HiKorea portal (hikorea.go.kr) or the HiKorea app:
Online available:
• ARC reissuance applications (some types)
• Status extension applications (some visa types)
• Employment change notifications
Still requires in-person visit:
• Initial ARC registration (must appear in person for biometrics)
• Status change applications (biometric verification required)
• permanent residency application (interview may be required)
Receipt: Always save the payment receipt (납부확인서). You may need it as proof of fee payment if there are delays or questions about your application.
The immigration fee schedule is updated periodically — always verify the current fee at hikorea.go.kr before your visit. Bringing slightly more than the listed fee is advisable.
Fees at Korean embassies overseas are set in local currency and may be higher or lower than the KRW equivalent due to exchange rates. Check the specific embassy website for the current local currency fee.
If you are exempt from fees (diplomatic status, refugee), bring documentation proving your exemption to the immigration office — exemptions are not automatic.

비자 절차
외국인등록증 (ARC)
외국인등록증(ARC)은 90일 이상 한국에 체류하는 외국인에게 발급되는 공식 신분증입니다. 은행 계좌 개설, 휴대폰 계약, 대부분의 공공 서비스 이용에 필수입니다.
비자 절차

하이코리아 사용법 (www.hikorea.go.kr) — 체류기간 연장, 체류자격 변경, 외국인등록증 갱신을 온라인으로 신청하는 방법. 처리 기간: 영업일 기준 3-10일.
비자 절차
체류기간 연장
체류기간 연장이란 현재 비자 또는 외국인등록증의 만료일 이후에도 한국을 출국하지 않고 합법적으로 체류를 이어갈 수 있도록 허가를 받는 절차입니다.
비자 절차
체류자격 변경
체류자격 변경이란 이미 한국에 체류 중인 외국인이 출국하지 않고 현재 비자 종류에서 다른 비자 종류로 전환하는 절차입니다. 예를 들어, 졸업 후 취업한 경우 D-2 유학 비자에서 E-7 특정활동 비자로 변경할 수 있습니다.
Can I pay immigration fees online without visiting the office?
Some services (like ARC reissuance requests for information updates) can be handled partially online via HiKorea. However, most substantive immigration services (status change, initial ARC registration, permanent residency application) require an in-person visit to the immigration office. The HiKorea system allows you to book appointments and prepare documentation online, but the final processing and payment typically happen at the office.
Do I get a refund if my visa application is rejected?
No. Immigration fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome. This applies to status change fees, F-5 application fees, and all other immigration service fees. Ensure all eligibility requirements and documents are met before submitting.
I need to report a workplace change. Is the 120,000 KRW fee per change or a one-time annual fee?
The 120,000 KRW workplace change/addition fee is per application. Each time you report a change or addition of a workplace, the fee applies. If you change jobs twice in one year, you pay 120,000 KRW each time.
