What If I Get A New Passport While Living In Korea?
Getting a new passport while living in Korea is normal, but many residents forget the immigration side of it. Your visa status may continue, but your passport information in immigration records must stay accurate, and passport validity can directly affect how much stay period immigration grants you on extension or status-change filings.

申请前注意事项
Requirements can change by nationality, local immigration office, and filing channel. Confirm exact requirements with HiKorea, the responsible Korean consulate, or a licensed immigration specialist before filing.
Why the update matters
Your passport number, issue date, and expiry date are core immigration record items. If you renew your passport and never update immigration, you can run into trouble later when extending your stay, reissuing your ARC, proving status, or passing identity checks that compare your old immigration record against your new travel document.
Passport validity affects stay period
Under the stay manual, immigration generally grants stay periods within the passport validity period. That means a short-validity passport can shorten an otherwise normal extension approval. There is a limited one-time exception discussed in the manual for passports with under 6 months left, but that is a fallback, not the ideal filing strategy.
What to bring when updating records
Bring the new passport, the old passport if you still have it, your ARC, and any required update form or appointment confirmation. If you renewed through your embassy in Korea, keep any embassy-issued confirmation pages as well. Update the record promptly instead of waiting until your next major immigration filing.
행정사的建议
If your passport is close to expiry and you plan to extend or change status soon, renew it first whenever timing allows.
Keep the old passport until your immigration record and other Korean systems are fully updated.
After immigration, consider whether your bank, telecom provider, employer, and school also need the new passport details.

常见问题
Do I need a new visa sticker after I get a new passport?
Not always in the old paper-sticker sense, but you do need your immigration record to match your current passport information. The exact handling depends on your status and the type of record update needed.
Can I travel with my new passport before updating immigration in Korea?
You may be able to travel, but mismatched records can create complications. Update immigration as soon as possible and do not wait if you have a major filing coming up.
What if my old passport containing the visa has already been canceled?
Bring both the canceled old passport and the new passport if you still have them. Immigration usually cares about continuity of identity and record matching, not just the validity of the old booklet itself.
