Immigration office bookings fill up right before expiry

It's safest to book on the day applications open.

What happened?

To extend your stay you book a visit on HiKorea, and slots fill up quickly when many expiries fall at the same time.

How does it affect me?

The closer your expiry date, the harder it is to get the date you want.

What should I do?

  1. Check the application start date, 4 months before expiry
  2. Book a visit on HiKorea on the start date
  3. If no dates are open, check e-applications too
